California may legalize cannabis

On November 2nd, 2010, there is going to be a vote, by california citizens to legalize marijuana use. Up to 2 oz in public, and you may grow 25 square feet. And i think you have to be 21. I might end up going to grad school in cali.

Peace

So if you live un cali... Go vote yes!!!!

So far the powers that be say there isn't enough support to actually pass it.

Most people I know are voting 'no' to keep the price high. 5500/lb would go to ~3000/lb if it legalizes from what I understand.

it will pass

It all comes down to how they market it during the campaign. They need to focus on budget deficits and portray people losing their jobs and going home to their families with children. California is hurting right now and this could be their ticket.

banning bud is like prohibition on alcohol, it being illegal causes more problems then it being legal. bud will soon be legal but being im from ny will most likely be the last

no it won't. why the hell would you want it to.. funny how most of you actully think legalizing it is going to make it better, well it not..

$5500 a lb???? lol where are you at? I do not think it will pass either, not the 1st time around anyway. I will be voting NO....

Bud will be legal one day, but it may take another civil war or too, the campaign of "Potheads against America". We'd win, cause we'd get all the non-smokers stoned, and then being it most of their first times, they wouldn't be able to function so we just slap a legalize marijauna sticker on their back and move on to the next. Enough dreaming, back to work!

Ow could it make it worse? Because all the people making money saling medical cannabis won't make as much any more? Because everyone will be stealing from there neighbors crop instead of growing their own? Think of this, you want a tree for your yard, you go to Lowes, Menards, or your local nursery and pick it up. Well, and after some time of course, you would prob be able to do something similar with weed. In time of course.

This may lessen the profitability of those currently dealing in it. But it should spread that profitability around to many people. Weed is a weed, and it shouldn't cost more than our non-renewable resources, so if its over money that it won't be passed, that idea needs to be flushed.

If you have another reason why it won't pass aside from what I mentioned, please share.

Tell me how so?

The only people I know that are against the law are the cultivators and dealers because they know the gravy train is going to grind to a halt.

I would love for the day to come when I can buy a pack of pre-rolled joints and pick up some beer on the way to my buddies house and not worry about some overly-ambitious cop ruining my life.

when and if that day ever happen, but it will nevr be that way.

I'm definitely stoked for November, whether it passes or not, it'll be nice to see it on the ballot. I'll be voting YES.

If any election ever was rigged, stolen, or bought I bet it would be this measure...and I mean by the prohibitionists and the Feds. It would not surprise me if the results for the measure have already been created and ready to be reported.
If it looses, we get the real numbers. If it wins, I would not be surprised if it is reported as a loss. Back room deals and $ exchanges, and Cali is so broke I can see the Feds buying this from them.

very interesting im not sure if i believe that but then again i kinda think about it and am like maybe but i overall i dont think thats going to happen

I agree with mygirls, I think complete legalization is just gonna fuck medical marijuana patents out of being allowed to grow their own meds cuz if it gets legalized one of the main reasons for the govt. allowing it become legal will be because they want to make money from it so they will probly sell it in stores and stop people from being able to grow their own.

Legalization of medical marijuana everywhere is as far as I'd like to see it go.

No one has ever put a stop to home-brewed beer, so I fail to see how they're going to put a stop to home-grown weed, once legalization occurs, if it does indeed occur. Of course, there is a bit of a precedence with still-produced alcohol, but alcohol is to beer like opium is to weed, IMO. Sure, you don't want just anyone making their own opium or liquor, but what's wrong with people making their own beer and/or weed? Plenty of people would still buy billions of dollars worth of commercially grown MJ that they bought in authorized locations, legally. Those of us who enjoy and are well-versed in growing our own would still do so without creating much of a dent in the commercial market.
