why do people think that the feds will just sit by and let stores open up that sell marijuana to eveyone and anyone over 21??

State Legal mmj stores are still being shut down by the feds and these are state legal...some have been open for years

But this is what it wll take....some people will have to go to court and jail to help the cause and change the laws

I like it when people are saying that the price of weed will fall to $50 a oz..hahahah..

The feds do NOT allow for any tax benifits for a scheudule 1 drug... rent bills supplies employess ..non of it is allowed as a right off...if you make $100,000 you owe federal taxes (about 25%) on that amount no tax deductions are allowed. then you have to pay your states income tax and b&i... plus your operating expenses

alot of change will have to happen before weed is totally legalized....they are just trying to regulate it within theses states now

I know it has strong support in all of those states washington and colorado for sure. If it is legalized then yah there is going to be a federal vs state showdown hopefully you have a congress and president that is sympathetic to the voters/people and not to the central govt.

But itll happen just a matter of how long and how ugly it will get. And i dont know when everyone is growing in their backyard and closet and walmart is growing hectacres of weed..... just might be $50 an Oz before they tax it of course :P. But they cant tax it too much or people will grow/buy from the greymarket. (lol not really black at that point)

If Obama gets re-elected and it's made legal in let's say 2 out of 3 states. I could see it going in favor of legalization. Can't say the same about mittens.

[charface]

If it happens I can see a bunch of people moving into my state and clogging up the fucking roads.

I was recently reading the measure 502 initiative for the washington state ballot, and this does not seem like a very cannabis user friendly bill. For starters, washington state citizens will have to apply for a recreational license to use it, which costs 250 to apply for and 1000 to actually receive. In addition it sets a DUI limit with no scientific backing, and for persons under 21 with any THC in their blood will get a DUI. And the list goes on, I am for legalization of marijuana, but I do not support this bill. Check out this link for more details on the measure: http://votesmart.org/elections/ballo...a#.UIyqfoYnIpQ

and how much change will happen if people keep shooting these amendments down? change for the worse will happen, take california as an example .

Was hoping mbaco4009 would chime in. Would like to see if someone willing to forgo a strategic victory for a minor tactical victory is dishonest,dumb,or both.
