Well, I am happy that the day has finally come that we can at least put this to a vote. Californians will most likely pass this bill but what will the feds do?
Im glad this happened during obamas term... but he did say that he didnt like the idea of legalizing like booze... but medical ok... well.. we are about to find out for sure!!!!.... OH yeah! So glad to already be in cali...
PS... Im not liking the $50 OZ tax though?.... wtf is that all about?... I forsee nobody paying that tax!.. LOL.

they do... alcohol industry, medical industry, plastic industry, cotton industry, 25000 other industries dont want MJ legal. But the people will win. It has to happen. the world is fuckin up cause we keep killing it with poisons and cutting all the trees and making ajmehd rich with the oils... I sure hope this will go through but i can see major risistance from those companies...Like always!I hope it gets done but ive just heard it so many times over the past 20 years and nothing ever changes.
Anyone would think that they had other "reasons" to keep it illegal

the $50 oz tax i only applicable to licensed producers. Everyone else will just pay a sales tax when you buy it like you do with cigarettes.
Just because it becomes legal to regulate and sale doesnt mean that everyone can just start growin pot. That will still be illegal (unless your a medi patient). The IRS will be on your ass for producing un-tax'd marijuana and not being a licensed producer.

well im sorry but it should be. I understand that we are trying to use the $$$ spin because of the economy. But if its legal for a company to produce it and serve it to the public it should be legal for me to make it and consume it if i do so choose to. I mean, Its not illegal to make your own beer... tabacco plants ... vegetables.... shit the list goes on my friend. I personally dont care cause i am a patient
. But it owuld be nice to save me on the $95 a year to pay some doc. LOL..cheap ass.. hahaha

Wanna Know something very stupid about medical marijuana laws in California?..
Even though you have gone there with medical records that you have had "x" issue and some doctor has prescribed you some "x" medicine(poison). every year you have to take proof to the MJ doctor that you are still being treated for "x" issue.
So the theory is this... Its ok to prescribe medical marijuana to "assist" with "poison treatments" but not to replace the "poison treatments". I still have to go 1 a year to a regular doctor... pay them for the visit.. pay them for the prescription of some bullshit that kills my liver..then i can go to my mj doctor and he can safely give me a card.... I guess you just got to pay the piper.

This is crazy.
Are they going to create distribution outlets and licenses for the sale of Marijuana? If not then everyone will be growing it or buying it from small growers.
They are going to have to create other laws so people have to buy it from licensed sellers. If not, the Black Market will kill any sales and taxes that the government plans on making a proffit from. Should be interesting to see how this all turns out but it is sure seems like a step in the right direction.
And $50 an ounce, that is a High tax (no pun intended) I guess weed will still be very expensive but a lot cheaper than court costs!

It will be like purchasing alcohol for example. It's legal to go purchase it for a liquer store or even brew your own beer(not moonshine). It is illegal however to purchase it from someone that makes their own and sales it without tax or to make your own and sale it untaxed. That is why you dont see blackmarket liquer sales undermining the alcohol industry. Why risk buying untax'd liquer when you can just go to the store but some and not risk criminal penalties.
The same case will apply with the marijuana, and even though the $50 an ounce tax seems high only the producers that sale will have to pay the tax. The consumer will pay a much smaller sales tax.

No of course... I think i just started dreaming ahead of being able to go buy a pack of kush or a carton of white widow wides... i mean if the producer has to pay 50$ an ounce to make the carton im thinking ill be paying that tax for him....

I plan on going to Oaksterdam though so it would help me get hired at a dispensary...plus all the knowledge I already have.
holy fucking shit..this made my night. i wouldnt get to excited about moving though bc once washington finally realizes that cali is making a killing they will probably want to pass the same bill in alot of other places. other than that im completely speechless right now..
