Amendment 64

Vote early and vote often!

Smoke weed everyday!!!!

If you want the very few to control and regulate the hell out of marijuana then vote for this, but it is not legalization.

Please explain what that means. It seems to me that marijuana is already heavily regulated and controlled. How does a measure to allow more people to possess and grow marijuana create the scenario you envision?

Currently anyone caught with 2 ounces is considered a petty offense with a $100 fine. Amendment 64 allows up to an ounce, people will still go to jail. A64 allows a SELECT FEW to sell, anyone else selling will still go to jail. It is not true legalization and designed to enrich the backers of the law, just as 1284 did. It will create a whole new govt agency who's purpose is to enforce regulations. Police raids will still happen, kids will still be taken by the state from people having a few plants, and people will still risk losing their job for using it. Nothing really changes except it will be set in stone in our constitution that the above actions are ok and it will hinder any near future attempts for a more favorable amendment.

You are either misinformed or intentionally trying to distort the truth.

On the site where you grow your meds, you can possess ALL THAT YOU GREW at that location, NO 1oz rule. The 2oz for petty offense is still in force after this passes, but applies to away from where you grew your plants. 1 OZ is LEGAL for over 21, 2 OZ is petty offense. It is usually not necessary to be possessing more than 2oz away from your home unless you are selling it illegally.

Like beer you can brew your own within the limits, but you can not sell it. If you want to sell beer you have have to be one of the "SELECT FEW" and apply for a Liquor License. Like any other business, you can't legally run it out of your basement off the books. Sorry to say that if you want sell marijuana with legal protection [in the state] , you will have to apply and get a license and pay your taxes like everybody else. Even the Mark Kay lady does that. Why should the fact that it is marijuana grant an exception to that?

If you are growing your 6 legal plants, how can they take your kids? Your employer, not the state establishes their conditions for employment. If they don't want marijuana smokers working there, that is their choice. If you are high, drunk, or impaired by prescription drugs on the job you can be fired equally for any of those. 64 does not change anything regarding those rules.

It changes a LOT. You can grow your 6 plants at home LEGALLY. You can keep all that you grow there LEGALLY. You can transport or posses an ounce LEGALLY. You can smoke it at home LEGALLY. You can go to the marijuana Store with just a photo ID and buy an ounce LEGALLY .

The only way that the citizens can implement change is through constitutional amendment because there is no way in hell that we could ever get our elected "representatives" to actually represent us in the house and senate. Forcing them to act via constitutional amendment is the only implement of change allowed directly by the actions of citizens.

Does 64 "Free The Weed" ? No. But it does offer a fair compromise in my opinion.
