1.3 billion to help the money problem
1.3 billion to help the money problem
According to the bill, people would have to be 21 years or older "to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use." Californians would not be permitted to use the drug in public or within the presence of minors, and would not be allowed to possess it on school grounds.
PERFECT!
This is what every state should do.
do all the drug dealers get out of jail?
no, but all the criminal drug dealers now go out of business
WOOHOO!! lower crime
marijuana needs to remain illegal!
in fact, make possession of pot a ing felony and toss the ers in jail for a minimum of 5 years!
keep drugs out of the mainstream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Typing in that size font needs to be illegal.
so now states can ignore a federal law, but when the states sue over that healthcare its ing?
Since when can states ignore a federal law? Its not their job to prosecute those laws. If the feds want to prosecute people in violation of federal law no court is going to throw it out.
Pretty sure the Obama administration ins't going to prosecute anyone for this if it passes though. Its the Feds ignoring federal law, not the states. If we see a conservative come to power again we'd see prosecutions again. Of that I'm sure of.
I wasn't aware the stated made pot illegal
Cheers to California. I just finished a 15 page paper for a writing class on the benefits of marijuana legalization, and from what I've researched they could make a great deal of money. As well, in the 80s when the War on Drugs started cracking down on pot, heroin and cocaine rates shot up. Maybe the reverse will happen if legalized.
Considering California votes like a schizophrenic, I'm not holding my breath on this passing.
The liberal's will be too busy taking up the ass and vaporizing their medical weed to be bothered to vote. Meanwhile the evangelicals will be marching the rank and file to the polls.
The War on Drugs make-work troopers/lifers in LA and Fed law enforcement will not comply with CA legalizing marijuana.
California voters surprised the out of me when they shot down gay marriage. So I really don't have a feel for whether this will pass or not.
I agree, either you are for state rights or you aren't. too many on this board will never take a side or a stand because usually their opinion isn't based on aything other than making those on the other side look bad...
Like when I posted a poll simply asking if any president should govern based on current polling data.. it was a yes or no and not many people wanted to weigh in. Why? My guess is that they don't really want a president to govern by polls...yet they are against obama care and their primary argument is that polls are against it... so they have to compromise their integrity... I for one don't want any President to govern by montioring daily tracking polls but apparently there are alot of folks on this board want to the president to do just that. It will be interesting to see if they feel the same way about polling when their guy is in office and he/she proposes something that polls less than 50%... My guess is they will be hypocrites and take the stand that the president shouldn't govern by polls
Not like it matters. SCOTUS already said Federal drug laws trump State drug laws, and State's are obligated to uphold federal law....
What makes you so sure enforcement has ceased or will shortly under Obama?
Just curious. Certain news items would seem to suggest the opposite.
"California voters surprised the out of me when they shot down gay marriage"
Wake up, this is America.
Money buys elections, non-CA/Utah Mormons bought the CA /lesbo-phobic vote.

A federal about-face on medical marijuana
New Justice Department guidelines order federal drug agents to cease arresting or charging patients, caregivers or suppliers who are conforming with state law.
October 20, 2009|Josh Meyer
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday told federal authorities not to arrest or prosecute medical marijuana users and suppliers who aren't violating local laws, paving the way for some states to allow dispensaries to provide the drug as relief for some maladies.
The Justice Department's guidelines ended months of uncertainty over how far the Obama White House planned to go in reversing the Bush administration's position, which was that federal drug laws should be enforced even in states like California, with medical marijuana laws on the books.
Farthole23 apparently did my homework. Thanks, Farthole.
It's one of the better things he's done since becoming Pres.
Pretty sure the /lesbo phobics already knew which way they were going to vote before the mormon's started spending money.
Awwww, how cute--you have a troll. And what a clever name!Farthole23 apparently did my homework. Thanks, Farthole.
There's been a rash this morning. I liked gashole the best.
