They demand taxes from us and take them, now its time the tables were turned especially on this issue.

Like most I still think the initiative process to legalize is probably our best bet. Just be aware that we will probably have to have a new initiative every 3 or 4 years to keep pot legalized. the Legislature has proven that they don't have the ability to address this issue appropriately so we will be forced to do it for them.

I agree, but I think that as far as full legalization goes, the Init. route is the ONLY way it will happen. I think protection from arrest and possibly a legal route for dispensaries/market growers MAY be able to make it thru the traditional process but I'm not holding my breath.
At this early stage, I'd give 20/1 odds that the Kohl-Wells bill never makes it to the floor.

No, I didn't miss your point and I don't like back-room deal making any more than you do ...
Ours is an imperfect system but it is the system we have to work with and one way or another, I'd really like Protection from Arrest.

Protection from arrest will be an illusion for the foreseeable future. Even if cannabis gets completely legalized by initiative we'll still have certain jurisdictions that will disagree and they'll just call the feds in to help out. If we could get a governor that believes in the 10th Amendment and will use actions to back that up we could go a long ways in ending prohibition nation wide.

As long as the rules/laws get made in back room political negotiations, there will always be little loopholes that let LEO arrest anyone they want.
In the counties where they don't like medical marijuana, having a scale will become evidence of being a provider to more than 1 person in 90 days. Any amount of cash on hand will be evidence of having benefited from being a provider.
With those provisions in there, we have the same protection from arrest now as we will after the draft. It will be at the discretion of the officer, how it always is.
Except those provision shut down the current model for medicine being exchanged in our state. And what do they replace that model with? Rules that are yet to be determined and who knows when they go into effect.
I see less protection under this draft, than we currently enjoy.
