That's a good question Sauce. A64 says current MMJ laws will remain unchanged. I don't know if you could play it both ways - carry 2 oz with your red card and have unlimited stash jars at home. Seems like you should be able to but I'm sure it all depends on the cop/judge/jury you get, if it comes to that.

Bumping this thread up for someone w q's...

If it does pass how do sales work? Is it still illegal to sell anything to your neighbor that you harvest "legally" in your basement?

Will the current dispensaries rules remain the same except they can now serve anyone over 21?? Will they raise prices due to the 15% sales tax?

I read that you can have as much as you can grow off of 6 plants stored at your house. How much can you legally transport?

Do you guys really think more people are going to start growing? I feel like everyone that wants to grow is already doing it under the medical laws.

I live in another medical marijuana state a few thousand miles away. I am not scheming anything, I am just interested in marijuana legislation nationwide and try to follow every states progress best I can.

Do you know the answers to ANY of my questions?

Those are thought provoking questions, but who really has the answers? Seriously.

So say the CO vote passes and it is 'regulated like alcohol'.

Does that mean:

-21 yrs and older and you can buy it in state licensed stores?
-It is taxed just like cigarettes and alcohol, (which are higher tax % than normal consumer goods)
-You could be pulled over and charged with 'impaired driving'? The CO senate and house tried to pass that shitty bill twice now!
-Insurance companies will begin to charge a 'higher' (woah, pun) rate for CO drivers 21 and older whether they smoke/use cannabis or not.
-Police, Firefighters and other state and public servants will NOT be able to use smoke/use cannabis while they have thier jobs.
-The state will see an immediate and almost overwhelming influx of new residents ...simliar to the gold rush days of the 1800's. That could turn out real bad.
-The federal government will levy a penalty on CO by removing federal aid funds for schools, roads and other programs to make an example of them to other states considering 'legalization'.

I can go on and on- but really, you asked a few questions when there are really hundreds more... and frankly, I don't think anyone has put enough thought into that. How sad.
We may actually get what we want, but still get nothing because nobody put enough thought into it!

It all comes down to that old saying- "Be careful what you wish for....you may not like what you get"

Does it look like it is going to pass?

I remember the cali legalization bill 2 years ago was darn near "guaranteed" to pass. And it lost...

It will be very interesting indeed. But the problem is, if it does pass, and it causes BIG problems and creates national headlines it could shy other people in other states away from voting on future state legalization bills. "remember what happened in colorado....we dont want that in our state." So if it does pass, i hope it works.

Like Cali, it'll depend on who shows up to vote. If older, conservative voters come out to vote in november weed goes down... if the younger generation votes en masse it passes.

marijuana legalization advocates got some good news over the weekend. According to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports, a strong majority of Colorado voters are in favor of legalizing marijuana.
The survey of 500 of likely voters in Colorado conducted on June 6, 2012 shows sixty-one percent are in favor legalizing marijuana if it is regulated the way that alcohol and cigarettes are currently regulated.
Read Rasmussen's full report and see the question's wording here.
That is the highest percentage of Colorado voter support that any marijuana legalization poll has shown to date. In December of 2011, a similar poll from Public Policy Polling showed only 49 percent in favor of general legalization of marijuana.
Betty Aldworth, advocacy director of the Campaign to Regulate marijuana Like Alcohol -- a pot advocacy group behind Amendment 64 the 2012 statewide ballot initiative to end marijuana prohibition in Colorado -- said this about the poll in a press statement:

The vast majority of Coloradans appear to be ready to end marijuana prohibition and replace it with a more responsible system in which it is regulated and taxed similarly to alcohol. Our current system of prohibition is the worst possible system when it comes to keeping marijuana away from teens. It is driving marijuana into the underground market where proof of age is not required and where other illegal products might be available. By regulating marijuana like alcohol, we can better control it and generate significant and much-needed tax revenue for the state. We can also stop making adults criminals simply for using a substance that is objectively less harmful than alcohol.

Coloradans will be voting on whether the state should legalize marijuana this November and it's a vote that some say could affect the presidential race in the state where marijuana dispensaries in Denver alone (400) outnumber the Starbucks throughout the entire state (375), The Denver Post first reported.

Amendment 64 seeks to legalize marijuana for recreational use for adults and will appear on Colorado ballots this November. This will be the second time Coloradans will vote on recreational pot legislation -- state voters considered and rejected a similar recreational pot legalization initiative in 2006. But Mason Tvert, co-director of the Campaign to Regulate marijuana Like Alcohol, believes that Colorado has come a long way since 2006:

More Coloradans than ever before are aware of the fact that marijuana is not as dangerous as they have been led to believe and is actually far less harmful than alcohol. They have also seen firsthand via our medical marijuana system that it is possible for the state and localities to regulate and control the production and distribution of marijuana. They have read stories that quote law enforcement officials acknowledging that it has not contributed to crime or caused any significant problems. The environment here has changed dramatically.

It's yet another piece of good news for the Campaign to Regulate marijuana Like Alcohol which just last week received support for Amendment 64 from industrial hemp leaders. Dr. David Bronner, the creator of the popular Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps line of natural soap products, donated $50,000 to the Campaign.
Amendment 64 also recently received support from both Republicans and Democrats -- in March, 56 percent of the delegates at the Denver County Republican Assembly voted to support the legislation, and in April, the Colorado Democratic Party officially endorsed Amendment 64 and added a marijuana legalization plank to the current party platform.

Colorado- get the vote out this november!!!
