James, what SW is doing has nothing to do with what you are talking about. I-1135 removes criminal penalties for adults for possessing, growing and using cannabis. It's not about the status of the plant with the BoP, it's about changing the laws regarding the illegality of the plant.
You overthink things quite often, and that muddles things up. There is nothing in the inititiative about which you write, and since the BoP made that distinction they will have no case for objection to the new law now, will they?
KISS, something I learned many years ago in business....Keep It Simple Stupid
Stop trying to make it something that it's not, or something more than it is.
It is a simple initiative.
Please try to stay on topic on my thread from now on. Thanks. Puff, puff, pass
