I Don't Give A **** About You Sellers...

Just because we legalize marijuana here in California does not mean it is going to exempt you (well not you because you're not from here) from a drug test at any company. They still have the right to not employ anyone who fails a drug test. Until it's decriminalized federally, companies still have the right to hire or fire you for marijuana.

BTW, if you've done any research, legalizing will not hurt anyone who sells marijuana for a living just because it is legalized...if that's true I would like to see your resources.

I don't know much about Californa, but, us Rhode Island Patients have the following on our side:

§ 21-28.6-4 Protections for the medical use of marijuana. – (a) A qualifying patient who has in his or her possession a registry identification card shall not be subject to arrest, prosecution, or penalty in any manner, or denied any right or privilege, including but not limited to, civil penalty or disciplinary action by a business or occupational or professional licensing board or bureau, for the medical use of marijuana; provided, that the qualifying patient possesses an amount of marijuana that does not exceed twelve (12) mature marijuana plants and two and one-half (2.5) ounces of usable marijuana. Said plants shall be stored in an indoor facility.



Do you Californians have any type of protection like that?

Yeah this thread should be done by now. Who fucking cares if someone makes money off of MMJ? If you care so much about that then go bitch about the drug makers that make oxycotton or tylenol. They are all pain killers but MMJ is better for you. I only grow for MMJ card holders and if someone has a problem with that then you can go fuck yourself! Obviously I wouldn't want it to be legal in cali cus soon after that my state Wa will be right behind them. I look at it as a buisness and of course I will make more money if it isn't leagal. So it is what it is and we will see what happens.

there is no such thing as medical marijuana.

I suggest you move to Rancho Cordova. Growing for personal use, within your 25 square foot space will cost you $600 per sq. ft. $15,000, ANNUALLY.

Do you think your city council will be less greedy?

ever wonder that MAYBE they have suggested such a high cost, is MAYBE just because that city is known for having an abundant supply of growers? MAYBE just maybe thats the cities way to say "hey we know what your doing and if you want to keep doing it then your going to pay taxes" MAYBE its a smart tactic to cut down on all the growers.

amazing when it comes to someones personal profits its cut throat action but if someone crashes a plane into our county society unites against an ignorant war.

amazing that fellow stoners would be in favor of cutting back grow ops.

You can't legally grow recreational marijuana ... so how are people in favor of "cutting back"?

I may be dating myself a tad, but I remember when the rallying cry was "Get your laws off my pot". When the hell did it turn into "Tax and regulate my pot"?

When did the government not tax anything commercially sold?

And what part of Prop 19 states that marijuana MUST BE TAXED?



Show it to me because I don't see it ....

Well, think of it this way - pot is currently taxed at 100%. If you're not a medical user, they'll take your shit and throw you in jail.

19 isn't legalization, but why does it have to be? Why not legalize in 2012 after we regulate and a bunch of stoners move to CA and register to vote?

Seriously - we've all managed to run a very effective underground over the last 80 years - why would 19 stop that? If it turns out to be a bad law, we still have medical protections or the old ways that have worked.

"But you're encouraging people to break the law!!!" You're god damned right I am.

thats what im saying.

were moving forward to a new era where pot can enter the market. <---that means the govt DOES acknowledge it might not be as bad as the baby boomers generation was conned to believe.

and if your still convinced its some DEA ploy then i suggest you move from those hills and introduce yourself to society because theirs no conspiracy out to get you guys man. lol

..who make a living from selling marijuana. Legalizing hurts your business, so maybe you'll have to get a real job, but I think most of us don't give a damn about your lazy a$$es and want marijuana to be legalized so we can stop being threatened with incarceration, not to mention all the other benefits.

In other words ... you can't provide the part of Prop 19 that states commercial marijuana must be taxed.
That's because there are no parts in Prop 19 which states it must be taxed.

Are you here to participate in the debate, or to make peanut gallery comments which provide no substantive opinions for people to chew on?

It's exasperating arguing with someone who isn't actually arguing. You're just spewing talking points.

http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Text_of_Proposition_19,_the_"Regulate,_Control_and_Tax_Cannabis_Act_of_2010"_(California)

It's in the bloody title of the proposition. Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis.

http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Text_of_Proposition_19,_the_"Regulate,_Control_and_Tax_Cannabis_Act_of_2010"_(California)#Section_11302:_Imposition_and_Collection_of_Taxes_and_Fees

Section 11302: Imposition and Collection of Taxes and Fees. Once again, pretty easy to read.


Cue talking points!

Again ...

Where does it say in Prop 19 that marijuana must be taxed?
