Proposition 19: Educate yourself and Leagalize it!!!

It could be regulated like tomatoes or asparagus. You can grow a few at home in your garden, but that's only for personal use. For everybody else who has no lawn or doesn't care about spending money, they can go the supermarket and grab a pack of joints.

They could treat it like wine. Have "wine tastings" full of jars of different kinds of bud and people can go in and take a hit of whatever they want out of a one hitter. Then they can buy an ounce or more for like 100 dollars. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Plus, restaurants could bake it into food with the right permit. You could roll down to the local cafe for a sandwich and a smoothie and walk out of there high as the moon.
As long as people don't sell it from home tax-free the gov't is cool.

Sure, if you're willing to take the risk of lung or testicular cancer. Plus, weed picked up off the streets has the tendency to be laced with other more harmful drugs.

If you want to look dumb, just keep posting.

Let me get this strait, lets keep it on the streets so ass holes can lace it with nasty shit like meth and coke and radiator fluid. God forbid you get it safely from a pharma dealer where if it's got problems you can complain about it legally. Yeah, that makes sense.

Or even better legalize growing one or two plants of your own.

Easy way to clear that up, if its legal grow your own, its a plant remember.

that sounds more like an argument to legalize and bring it out of the darkness

I never said it shouldn't be legalized, I'm just saying legalizing it doesn't necessarily make it a good habit to have. Outside of medical purposes and tax benefits, it's still harmful to your health in some sense if you overdo it. The same can be said for all legal prescription drugs. Go ahead and legalize it, just don't be stupid.

I guess it is. If the government can make sure that it's not being lace, that could improve safety.

Lots of things that are legal are bad; coffee, cigarettes, video games, taking Tylenol or Aspirin everyday.

"if you're willing to take the risk of lung or testicular cancer."

There is no definite answer to the question, "does Marijuana cause cancer?" This is because there are studies that say it does and studies that say it doesn't, for example a UCLA study done in 2006 with over 2,200 participants said it does not cause cancer.

"The same can be said for all legal prescription drugs."

Most legal prescription drugs are worse for your health than Marijuana. In 2005, 27,000,000 people were taking anti-depressants. 164,000,000 prescriptions for anti-depressants were written in 2008. 14% of children ages 0-11 are on at least one prescription.

Psycho stimulants like Adderall, painkillers like Oxycontin (prescription heroin) and even shit like Vioxx, cause thousands of deaths every year. Yet Marijuana has a 0 in the death column.

if having red ass eyes makes me an asshole....guilty as charged...but the way I act when stoned is not noticeably different than when I am sober.

"A drug is neither moral nor immoral--it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole."
— Frank Zappa

we could just use vapes, or eat brownies, or even just take THC pills, smoking isn't the only method

whats wrong with coffee?

Not so much coffee but the addiction to it and how people rely on coffee.

I love coffee, do i depend on it? no. But yeah i definitely see where you're coming from

I know people who can't wake up without it or if they haven't had it their mood is terrible.

That shit doesn't even make fuckin' sense...

why? to protect someone's right to make profit? that is disgusting ... you should be ashamed of yourself.

and, that blood on your hands, that's from all the Mexican people your vote killed.

Marijuana is not the problem

the day I believe the RAND corporation, you can go ahead and kill me. what about all the people in jail? just screw them I guess. way to be a patriot.

i agree that people are wrongfully jailed for this, but prop 19 is not the right answer. rushing in to things never go well. prop 19 put too much control in to the people that have the money and it doesn't free the people in jail already nor does it stop them from going to fed prison or state jail cause you have to buy the legal stuff, and if you do you still get blacklisted by the Feds(you could never work on a fed job, not even be a custodian for a federal building).

Educate yourself!!!

glad to know you think that people should continue to be arrested until you get what you want. how big of you.

quit trying to put me down and defend your stance

your stance puts me down. Prop 19 takes us one step closer to legalization. you and your little greedy capitalist friends are nothing more than traitors to the cause.

umm i think you have that backwards.

ugh ... did you even listen to the story you posted? obviously not. these traitors don't want it legalized b/c it will lower the price of pot. so yes. you are perpetuating the problem. 420 capitalists like you should be ashamed of yourselves.

The language of the bill makes it most palatable to the squares without compromising too much...I don't think you could draft a better bill that has an actual chance at passing. Lets exonerate the prisoners after we get this done...nothing in the bill justifies keeping it illegal.
