Has anyone attempted to find out what the requirement for cultivation will be? As far as on the individual and the zoning of land. Since the proposed law is fairly vague only stating that qualified persons license will state where they are authorized to grow(more or less). I know that I lived in a place where tattooing was illegal until a few years ago and when they legalized it it was a year or so before anyone could get a tattoo because there was no property zoned for tattooing. Could be the same thing maybe?

Well just to see if there was any clarification available I contacted the S.O.S. office asking about licensing requirements to cultivate if the law was passed (I.E. requirements on a person and/or land as far as zoning). They responded with this (which was not very helpful)....

"Hi *******,
The initiative you reference has not yet been approved for circulation,
which means that the proponents of the change have not yet even begun
gathering signatures for the petition. If they gather enough valid
signatures[82,769] by July 2010, it will be on the November 2010 ballot. Until
then, it's premature to say that it will be voted on in 2010.

As for your questions, those answers are probably best posed to the
proponents of the initiative, who you can find by clicking here:
Search Criteria Form, and then
selecting IRR #2 from the 2010 list. Their own interpretation, though,
may be different than the interpretation made by the appropriate agency
if the law passes.

Sincerely,

Scott Moore
Chief of Communications
Oregon Secretary of State's Office
503-986-2368"

So I would imagine they are not really happy to see this even proposed. But here is his email if you would like to bother him with questions Scott.Moore@state.or.us.
Just thought it was kind of funny

In my opinion it will go through. Theres enough people to vote it
in for a ballot vote. I dont think he sounded pushy or anything..
sounded to me like he just was saying the "politcally correct vanilla
response." To be expected unless your talking to him personally.
I think he has a *.txt file on his desktop and whenever a letter
comes in inquiring about that I think he cut and pastes it.

I know I would if I were him. =) Im sure he has a different and
a biased opinion as every does in person. Biased in which direction..
I cant tell from that letter.

And all the states will fall to a domino effect of legalization just to keep their economies in balance just for stoners to live in their state, lol.

if marijuana becomes legal in the u.s. the value of weed will go to zero. if pot growers / smokers are free to share their experience and ideas with other smokers / growers more weed will grow in abundance all across the nation . remember its not alcohol its not manufactured . it grows and if it grew everywhere it would eventually lose its street value. there will always be the guy who just wants to go buy it but most smokers will grow their own and share it with others. thats why its not legal (not because its dangerous like they claim). i cant wait for the day to grow bud in my front yard or my neighbors .
