The Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act, ABX6-9, establishes a uniform statewide regulatory system while retaining a local option for sales. It also specifically excludes medical marijuana from fees and regulations in the act.

"Proposition 19 is an opportunity for Californians to finally change direction after years of our failed 'war on drugs,' said Ammiano. "But no initiative is perfect and the devil is in the details. My bill gives the legislature the ability to fine tune how California will regulate cannabis to ensure that it is done in an effective, systematic way." - Tom Ammiano
I'd keep on eye on Sacremento doing any "fine tuning". Ammiano previous bill involved a State level tax. This is the "tax" that many are confusing now with Prop 19 which HAS NO TAXES in it. I would challange anyone to show me one single tax in Prop 19. I don't think a mandatory state tax mandated by Sac would be in any way in line with the goals of Prop 19. :twocents:

The true spirit of Prop 19 is to empower local communities to enact their own local laws regarding non med over the counter sales. The only state wide mandate of Prop 19 is that all adult Californians shall have the legal right to grow their own without getting permission from the state and being guilty until proven innocent in a court of law. The rest is optional at the local level. I would immagine Sac hates losing control but tuff sh*t. :jointsmile:
