Why legalize? Alaska won't have edibles or extracts and unless you relinquish your gun rights ( state issued med card......cuz you need daddy to hold your hand n smoke) your only growing 6 plants and two budding at a time, you won't be burning outside like Seattle, 60 to 75 an 8th for top shelf, but get your med card 40 to 50 bucks and get this your pot can't be over 15 % thc . But if you leave well enough alone Raven act= up to 24 plants and 4oz in your home? Really? Why would Alaska fuck that up? u.N agenda 21 small arms confiscation ! Wake up vote FuckNO in August! Look at Connecticut gun grab media blackout wake up or we are all :hump::hump::cry:

Kalooko-

Some of the info you've provided is suspect, and some of its straight up wrong, and I'm not referring solely to this post. I appreciate discussions comparing the rights Alaskans would have if the legalization initiative passes with the rights we believe we have under Ravin V Alaska, but your agenda-driven misinformation does no one any good. Please read up and educate yourself before spreading falsehoods about plant counts, legal THC percentages and the like. These things are laid out in the initiative and you'd do well to read it before assuming what's in it and trying to persuade us with lies.

Yes there are 2nd Amendment, privacy and other issues at play here, and having a back-and-forth over them does help us all understand the best way forward as we normalize use of the ganja bush! So welcome to RIU, and the fine AK Medical Patients section here. But please realize that the small but thoughtful crew of growers/puffers/advocates that comment in this forum have no need and little tolerance for bullshit when we truly need to be moving the ball forward. Thanks.

See:

For violations of the controlled substances chapter of Alaskan criminal law which involve the person's own use of the substance, they may be committed to the Department of Corrections for treatment for up to 1 year. This may be in place of fine or imprisonment, but only if the imprisonment would not have exceeded 1 year.
See:

Presumptive terms of imprisonment increase for subsequent felony convictions.
See e.g.:

[h=4]Forfeiture[/h]Vehicles and other property may be seized for controlled substance violations. Within 20 days of seizure of the property, the commissioner of public safety must notify all persons with an interest in the property. A person has 30 days to respond to this notice with a claim to the property.
See:

[h=4]Miscellaneous[/h][h=5]Administrative revocation of license to drive for consumption or possession of alcohol or drugs[/h]The department shall revoke the driver's license or permit, privilege to drive, or privilege to obtain a license of a person not yet 18 years of age for six months when notified of an informal adjustment and shall revoke the person's driver's license or permit... for an additional six months if informed of unsuccesful adjustment.
See:

[h=5]Knowingly maintaining a structure used for drug offenses[/h]It is a class C felony punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment and/or a fine up to $50,000 to maintain a structure (including vehicles and houses) that the owner knows is used for selling, storing, or using marijuana.
See:

[h=5]Civil damages[/h]When a person engages in action that causes civil damages while under the influence of a controlled substance and the intoxication contributed significantly to the damages, the person who sold or gave them the substance is strictly liable to him for the damages.
See:




[h=5]CONDITIONAL RELEASE[/h]The state allows conditional release or alternative or diversion sentencing for people facing their first prosecutions. Usually, conditional release lets a person opt for probation rather than trial. After successfully completing probation, the individual's criminal record does not reflect the charge.
[h=5]DECRIMINALIZATION[/h]The state has decriminalized marijuana to some degree. Typically, decriminalization means no prison time or criminal record for first-time possession of a small amount for personal consumption. The conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation.
[h=5]MEDICAL MARIJUANA[/h]This state has medical marijuana laws enacted. Modern research suggests that cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. These include pain relief, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders. Marijuana is also a powerful appetite stimulant and emerging research suggests that marijuana's medicinal properties may protect the body against some types of malignant tumors, and are neuroprotective.

[h=1]Feds To Legal Medical Marijuana Patients: You Don’t Have Second Amendment Rights. Period.[/h]


  • by Allen St. Pierre, NORML Executive DirectorSeptember 28, 2011



    The federal government, notably under the current administration, continues to paint itself into a corner politically speaking regarding Mr. Obama’s pre-election promises to ‘fix the problem with medical marijuana’.
    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) issued a memorandum on September 21 to all gun dealers in the United States for the expressed purpose of informing them that they MUST discriminate against lawful medical cannabis patients and DENY them their Second Amendment right to buy and possess a firearm for hunting and/or personal protection.
    ​
    The feds newest ‘clarifying’ memo regarding medical cannabis (proceeding the 2009 Ogden and 2011 Cole memos) is notable because members of NORML’s Legal Committee recently have beensuccessfully challenging local and state law enforcement officials who’ve chosen to discriminate against lawful medical cannabis patients by denying them permits for a concealed weapon.
    Why is it OK and does it make any sense at all for lawful medical patients who are prescribed powerful painkillers and sedatives to be able to enjoy their Second Amendment rights and responsibilities, but medical cannabis patients who want to hunt or have self-protection in their homes are overtly discriminated against by our own federal government?
    This new ATF memo will provide an interesting test to see if the National Rifle Association really does support citizens’ rights to bear arms.

[h=1]Alaska: Marijuana Legalization Officially Makes August Ballot[/h]
Submitted by steveelliott on Thu, 02/27/2014 - 19:05


By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Alaska's voters will decide on August 19 if the state will be third to legalize marijuana and regulate and tax it sale.
Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell on Wednesday ordered election officials to put the issue on the ballot, confirming that an initiative effort satisfied the legal requirements, reports Steven Nelson at US News.
The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana in Alaska turned in more than 45,000 signatures on January 8, about 36,000 of which were validated by state officials. Just more than 30,000 signatures were required to qualify for the ballot.
"A bipartisan tidal wave of public support for regulating marijuana like alcohol in Alaska has pushed this issue onto the ballot, and we will be running an aggressive campaign designed to build on that momentum," said CRMA spokesman Taylor Bickford.
Adults 21 and older would be allowed to have up to an ounce of weed and grow six plants at home if the initiative passes.
Stores selling cannabis would be licensed by the Alaska Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; the Legislature would have the option of creating a Marijuana Control Board.
A quirk in Alaska state law allows the ballot question to appear on the August ballot with primary elections of political parties, rather than on the November general election ballot.
A February 5 survey by Public Policy Polling found 55 percent support among Alaskans for legalization, with 39 percent opposing. A March 2013 poll found 60 percent support; that one was by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research.
Alaska Already Went Legal Twice Via Court Decisions
Alaska was for years the only U.S. state where marijuana was legal, after a 1975 Alaska Supreme Court Decision allowing adults 18 and older to possess four ounces of marijuana and grow 24 plants at home.

Those laws are all good and dandy, but until youve had cops walk in your house, look at your grow AND med card walk away will you realize tge benefits of being a legal med card holder. I have. And I doubt they would've been as understanding if it was an unsanctioned grow. You may not end up w jail time but I promise they'll take your shit til its figured out.
