There are large scale cannabis grows all over California. The idea that 4 more in Oakland is going to put everyone out of business is pretty lol.

There is nothing new about large grows in California. There are many many grows all over the state that are bigger than anyone prop 19 allows. Yet at the same time there are more highly profitable small and medium scale grows than ever. Most small scale grows crush large scale grows in terms of demand and value.

Prop 19 allows small businesses all over the state growing and selling.

Enough of all this "the sky is falling!" nonsense.

look lets get one thing strait first and formost im not trying to disresrect anyone. this is my point of view. i want just as bad to have legal bud in the state i just dont think that prop 19 is the right way to do it. also im not talking about growers and there profits im talking about small companies that depend on todays maket wich will be destroyed buy big [URL="https://www.rollitup.org/"]marijuana[/URL] corporations. i know full well that there is larg scale [URL="https://www.rollitup.org/"]marijuana[/URL] ops exist in cali but they dont go down to to local head shop to buy a quart of nutrient or 12 plastic pot or a hydro set up. they buy bulk from big manufactering companies.also why is there such harsh restritions on how much people can grow at there own homes, because "they"(big [URL="https://www.rollitup.org/"]marijuana[/URL]) dont want competition.it says that a person can grow at a private residents in a 25 squared foot area. theres no specification on how many people at the resedent can grow,in othere words i live with 4 othere people all over the age of 21 and this prop does not garantee all of use individual 25 square foot plots. insted it sugguest that each household use a 25 foot plot regardless of the number of people in the house hold that use [URL="https://www.rollitup.org/"]marijuana[/URL]. this again is to prevent compitition with corporations what will try and monopolize the industy.

california needs to take a duth approach at it.

The regulations

The Dutch have divided drugs into two groups, depending on their influence on human health – soft drugs and hard drugs. Hard drugs as cocaine, LSD, morphine, heroin are forbidden in the Netherlands as in any other country.
Soft drugs as cannabis in all its forms (marijuana, hashish, hash oil) and hallucinogenic mushrooms (so called magic mushrooms or paddos – from Dutch: paddestoel - mushroom) are legal under condition of so called “personal use”. As a result smoking of cannabis even in public, is not prosecuted as well as selling it although technically illegal under still valid Opium Act (dating from 1919, cannabis added as drug in 1950), is widely tolerated provided that it happens in a limited, controlled way (in a coffee shop, small portions, 5 grams maximum transaction, not many portions on stock, sale only to adults, no minors on the premises, no advertisement of drugs, the local municipality did not give the order to close the coffee shop).

Would you ever vote for legalization of marijuana? Or is how much money small businesses make more important that being locked up for growing a fucking plant?

Who the fuck cares if "little businesses" go out of business? Pot is going to be LEGAL. Did you all really expect to be able to grow pot and make a living off it for the rest of your life? This "green rush" is coming to an end.

Do you all support local general stores instead of Walmart or Target? How about farmers markets instead of major grocers? Only micro brews instead of Bud and Coors products?

Quit bitching and appreciate the fact that you're not going to jail for growing and possessing pot anymore.

The days when your little amateur grows in your backyard made you rich are over. Either step up your game and be competitive or get out of the way. I'd much rather buy pot at Walmart than from the idiots who run dispensaries around here.

This isn't about YOU making money, it's about legalization. Acting like they're exploiting the game, look in a mirror. You are an IDIOT if you vote AGAINST legalization. Wake up fool!

MMJ is just a stepping stone for the more important goal, legalization. You had your run and now it's over

The Rancho Cordova measure would impose a $600 annual tax per square foot of indoor cultivation of 25 square feet of marijuana or less and a $900 per square foot tax if the indoor growing area is more than 25 square feet.The city tax would cost a local indoor grower $6,000 a year on 10 square feet of pot plants and $15,000 for 25 square feet. Outdoor growers, who would be billed at a lower rate, would pay a $1,200 residential tax for 25 square feet of marijuana plants.If Proposition 19 passes, it would allow California adults over 21 to cultivate in a 25-square foot residential space. Medical growers often exceed those limits by cultivating with other potpatients. http://calpotnews.com/government/bal...ordovaballot/ these taxes brought to you buy prop19 and this is for everyone even prop215 people.this is why prop19 sucks there no limitations on the goverment capabilicies of every resteriction on the average joe.who the fuck want to get taxed to grow mj even if your not selling it. its bswe the people of ca. can only legalize mj once, then thats it.and prop 19 is the wores peace of legislative cap ive ever seen in my life.are people that desperate to smoke mj with government opproval.give me a fucking brake and get a life and build some fucking standers for fucks sake.</p>

It's the worst piece of legislative crap that allows ANYONE over the age of 21 to possess an ounce of marijuana. That my friend is legalization.

Does prop 19 prevent medical patients from growing for themselves? I was unaware it changed prop 215.....

Pretty sure the taxing is to prevent just anyone from jumping in the "pot game" and trying to get rich quick.

You guys seem to be against competition in the pot market, doesn't a piece of legislation that's MORE restrictive on non-medical growers seem like something you'd want? As a medical patient you'd automatically have the upper hand.....

Yes people are that desperate. In 2009 858,048 were prosecuted for a pot related offense. I bet every single one of them is on board with ANY kind of legalization.

You're also aware that laws can be changed? This may start shitty, but it's legalization. Change it down the road.

Don't fuck this up California. This is LEGALIZATION! This is and has always been the end goal. Don't let your greed ruin this. We in Colorado are counting on you guys so we can vote it through here.

Think about the greater good and not your wallet.

Vote yes on prop 19... it's fucking LEGALIZATION!

Its not bad for small businesses, its bad for medical patients who want to use there cards for profit, screw them. If they want to screw there own country-men over, they deserve neither the card or the business, they can go to hell.

You're just jealous. I make a living, support local business and help people in need, Growing Mary.

I think it's a case of ColoradoLove having California penis envy.

You can come over and get some of our genetics. It's cool, everybody does it.

Plus why do you care? Colorado starts with the same letter but it ain't your state.

Yea, im sure you want to keep your monopoly, go fuck yourself. Our founding fathers said it should be legal and accessible to everyone, not you selfish fucks.

Guess what im going to do when it becomes legal? Get a commercial license and sell it for $5 a gram, medical grade. Fuck your business over hard core.

Keep it medical? Deprive your fellow citizens of the basic rights they deserve? Your scum.

Hey supremegreen, i plan on starting a business in cali once this passes, and selling it for $5 to $1 a gram. So, i will be making my living off selling quality herb for cheap, because, you people haven't figured out how to do that yet.

There is a difference between making a living, and being a greedy bastard.

Awesome, so, i take it your voting yes on prop 19 then and lowering your prices between $5 to $1 a gram?
