didnt happen in 2010 and i dont see that happening now

I predict AUMA failing.


Lot's if asshole conservatives out there.

We need to pass this one!

This from the Yes on Prop 64 people:

"California… the 8th largest economy in the world – is on the verge of legalizing marijuana.

BUT not without your help.

WE NEED YOU if we are going to get Proposition 64 passed.

Too many voters still do not realize what is at stake for us:

Billions of dollars in added revenue for California, dramatically fewer arrests, less strain on the criminal justice system, and the ability to clear a criminal record or be released from jail for cannabis related crimes.

This means tens of thousands of marijuana offenders currently serving sentences will be able to go back home to their families! Likewise, hundreds of thousands of marijuana offenders who were previously criminalized will be able to expunge their records and rejoin the workforce.

Penalizing marijuana use with harsh penalties does more harm than good. The data is clear on that. With Proposition 64, we have a chance to change all of that and upend the status quo. We have a chance to wake up to a different California in 2017. I hope we take the opportunity.

Remember, time is running out to get this done!

Thank you for supporting"

This concerns me, "Medical marijuana patients with a state ID card would be exempt from the existing 7.5+% state sales taxes, but not the other taxes. California NORML is seriously concerned that these taxes could be unduly burdensome to needy patients and promote illicit black-market trafficking."
I don't want the state to have my medical information, so I should be punished with a tax for medicine?

the California legislature passed its own measure last year to regulate the medical cannabis industry. Known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA), and set to take effect in 2018, the bill takes liberties which technically are unconstitutional under state law. Namely, the MCRSA creates cultivation limits for patients – something no legislature can do since Prop. 215 sets no such limits and contains no special provision that would allow the legislature to alter it. It is only a matter of time before a court strikes down this most critical aspect of the MCRSA and, in fact, a lawsuit to repeal the section limiting cultivation is already underway. But if Prop. 64 passes, there will be no chance of reversing MCRSA’s unconstitutional plant limits, because Prop. 64 will replace and supersede Prop. 215. So, defeating Prop. 64 in November is vital, or medical cannabis as we know it will disappear forever, and so will your right to grow it.



If you want to keep medicating, you need to start educating. So spread the word. This article is the first installment in a series on the various ways Prop. 64 will do more harm than good for California.

it has nothing to do with legalization, but with "regulation & taxation"
very bad for calif med patients

That's a bunch of crap, Bob! MCRSA does not put any "unconstitutional" limits on patients. As a matter of fact MCRSA does not effect patients at all, it only regulates the commercial aspects of MMJ. So stop listening to the idiots who don't know anything, and please stop spreading false info.

If you want to grow under Prop 64 then just keep your MMJ recommendation active, and you will not have any restrictions. If you supply others with medicine, as long as it's fewer than 5 others then MCRSA will not have any effect on you.

Also MMJ patients will gain some rights under Prop 64 that we don't have now.

can you explain please ?

SECTION 10. AMENDMENT.


The Legislature may by majority vote amend the provisions of this Act contained in Sections 5 and 6 to implement the substantive provisions of those sections, provided that such amendments are consistent with and further the purposes and intent of this Act as stated in Section 3.

????

" purposes and intent of this Act as stated in Section 3."

To TAX........

You're talking about MCRSA, which has been passed by the Legislature, and is law. It has already been amended, and will continue to be amended. If you have a problem with MCRSA, then take it up with your Assembly rep.

Some of those problems that you have with MCRSA will be changed for the better by Prop 64, so you should vote yes on that. Prop 64 will benefit everyone in our State, and will cause progress in many places on the planet.

MCRSA ? Im taking about prop 64 & how it gives local bureaucrats the opportunity to change all aspects of the bill.
Im sorry, too many loopholes for gobment to change

You will probably deleat this post (again, your site ) but I'd rather have a dialog as to where
the highlighted (red ) post are wrong ?
then you may change my mind, I AM FOR LEGALIZATION, this is not it though.

I will not allow misinformation to be posted here! Idiots like Letitia Pepper, and the weedly crap will always be deleted. Do you know her? I do, and she has mental issues, plus she's an ass. I know the weedly guy, too. For the past decade he has called me "his mentor." He doesn't even live in California any more.

If you are actually "for legalization," then you will vote Yes on Prop 64!

Bob, you're clearly confused. Prop 64 is an Initiative, which means that it cannot be changed without another vote by the People. That's how initiatives work. Therefore, no local bureaucrats can change it.

How did legalization work for Washington's MMJ ?

If Im wrong, please SHOW me, I'd be happy to help legalize, but not give more control to city/government. And give up rights of 215, which will happen if we vote in another Initiative.......

That means that Sections 5 & 6 can be amended, but they can only be changed for the better, to "further the purposes of this Act." That also means that the Act cannot be changed to add limits, or anything that does not match the original intent, which is to legalize Adult Use.

If you are concerned about the restrictions that have been put on us by MCRSA, then you will want to Vote Yes on Prop 64, because it will fix some of those restrictions.

it pains me to say I voted no on 64...too poorly written
