MMJ Bill Possibilites

[drumbum420]

We are gearing up to kill the bill and present an initative in 2012. This will not pass

Sorry I've been gone so long, was dealing with a death in the family.

Meanwhile, Senator Jerome Delvin (R-Richland) says he is considering a medical marijuana bill. His would create a statewide registry of medical marijuana patients that law enforcement could use to confirm that someone has a valid doctor's recommendation for pot. He says he has not worked out the details--the biggest question being whether the state or some other organization would run the system-- but that it would have to be one that both patients and police officers felt comfortable using, a tall order.

Sarich is himself unveiling what he calls a "voluntary" registry. He's got mock up of identification cards (pictured above) that he intends to sell to patients who want to use the system and can supply a doctor's recommendation for pot. He also has created a prototype of a website that both law enforcement and dispensaries could use to authenticate patients. Given his controversial profile, though, the big question is whether patients, law enforcement and doctors will buy into it.

I'm not much on government list, I think that should always be voluntary. As long as they could leave the public with that option would be fine.
This all ties into that at this point as big of a mess we have woth government regulation, if the state has access to this information that means the feds have access to this information. Its not constitutional but thats the nature of the system we are living with now.
I'm in favor of anything that grants civilians the right to use there constitutional rights and cannabis use certainly is under there constitutional right for the pursuit of happiness. Like Doug Hiatt, I'm in favor of anything that gives Americans the freedom to use this substance in any manner that they see fit.

That Steve is a funny fellow.....He warns against things until he figures out how to make a buck. I can't trust him....

Out of everyone ive worked with in the last 15 years he is by far the most trusted. At this time you can not be certain of others intentions as until we have a fair layout setup we cant seperate the riff from the raff but it is comming. We are forming a trade group for the state of wa and will be holding the 1st meeting on the 15th of this month to get it underway as well as plan strat against this bill and sen wells.

Wish you luck, just seems most people that I know that are full of mis-information work with him in one way or another. I have a friend that takes way too much risk yet is convinced he is safe. Maybe Steve does have insider news the rest of us don't have?

I agree. There are a lot of entrenched interests in this battle, and his is one of the more bizarre and obvious.

Yeah A web site to authenticate patients? No thanks.

I don't wanna be in no data bases any deeper then I already am!!! :S2: If LEO is too fucking stupid to read and understand an authorization, then LEO needs to go back to school and relearn the English language and the law. And we better get at least protection from the legislators if they are going to give us anything at this point. Protection is top of the list before taxes or anything else. :thumbsup:

I agree there should be no registry. I also agree that almost every single person/activist seems to have their own agenda that isnt directly focused on the patients and their needs. Unfortunatly we cant wait for someone else to come along that has no alterior motives. We have to work with what we have and trust but verify. A bonus of this is that we get to see who is honest and who isnt.

I am totally against taxing ANY medicine. In fact I belive that every mfg of medicine currently in buisness needs to be charged with crimes against humanity for what they do to us for profit. Can we say public guinepig?

I have one agenda. End prohibition, repair the damage the marijuana war has caused by cleaning up people's criminal records for simple possession, simple growing, simple small time dealing, and some of the major players being held as scape goats. Cartel fucks can stay where they are, same with violent criminals and gang bangers. At least set an age limit of 18 to do it legally. Don't need a bunch of dumb junior high school kids. Our education system is already in the shitter. Ending prohibition and legalizing for adults is the only solution. :twocents:
