I can tell your over the age of 60 man... stand offish and resentfull.. Congrats Man your comparison of those two people was arbitrarry, it makes no sense... There are plenty of lawyers that think this law sucks, you should compare lawyer statments to lawyer statements... That is what we call relativity...
Oh damn....You nailed me! 71 to be exact!
However......"STAND OFFISH"?.....LOL, I would think that my passion for this cause would demonstrate quite the opposite, I go after BS and lies with gusto! Nope, no "stand offishness" here.
And resentful? GUILTY!........I resent clowns with personal/undisclosed agenda trying to ruin something that an awful lot of good folks have been waiting for.
YOUR convoluted logic that it's NOT fair to compare two "declared spokespeople" on opposite sides of this issue, is pretty specious.
MS Dragonfly PUT HERSELF out there, ignorantly spewing crap, without any basis in fact, (kind of like some players in HERE!).
HER lack of any real credentials or credibility isn't MY problem, It's hers and YOURS!
It's a perfectly fair comparison, BOTH have taken VERY public stands on this issue. It's NOT my fault you've got the know-nothing lightweight and my guy has the history and credentials to speak the truth.
Let's try this: I am going to be posting names and links to supporters of 19, YOU post those that are against.
I'm thinking the two lists, side by side, might open a few eyes and minds.
Are YOU up for that Nate?

Im done with it old timer... One thing Ive learned from my uncle and my dad... Its pointless to try and change an old mans mind... You have a better luck getting into fort knox... Tell you what.... Just keep rambling on and on and we will act like what you say means something or is relevant... That should help man... You have been rather rude through out alot of your posts so in reality, i dont care for your opinion, the way you deliver it and just your general perspective on how to treat people... Good luck with the Prop thing man, it seems like its all you got fella...

Burger Boss i agree with your yes vote but keenly2 in the post above yours and nathenkings post below yours have the right attitude for this community of people we belong to. I have no doubt we would share a good time together given the chance. These no on 19 people are just trying to protect the what they have. I've posted my worries about the long term result of a no on marijuana mandate but the next day result of a no would be good for thousands of growers. The next day result for passage would be good for hundred of thousand maybe millions of marijuana users here in california. If that happens i think growers of quality pot, like nathanking probably is and like many others posting here likely are, they will be fine. If it passes, cultivate your market. Quality always gets the best price.

Voters in Rancho Cordova will decide in November whether to tax residents who grow their own pot.The city measure, put on the Nov. 2 ballot by the City Council this week, would impose taxes on all local residential cultivation if California voters approve Proposition 19 to legalize recreational use.But the city’s proposed “Personal Cannabis Cultivation Tax” also makes no distinction between medical and recreational cultivation, Peter Hecht writes in “Weed Wars.” So the tax would kick in for anyone currently cultivating for personal medical use — whether Prop. 19 passes or notIf passed by local voters, the taxation measure in the Sacramento County city would make at-home cultivation a much more expensive endeavor. 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>

Well.....with belittlement, condescending attitude, and a pathetic attack on my age; you will now withdraw?
OK, that's cool. One less clown to answer, and that works for me.
Yes, for sure I can be "one rude ol' MoFu", when presented with unbendable ignorance and/or perceived ingenuousness.
I wish I had the ability to be cool and collected like Dan, and some of the other good folks who have posted here, but alas,
the reality is I'm a "front line person who takes no prisoners". And until my "acid tongue" gets me disappeared out of here, we all live with it.
So, with that said, and prop 19 not withstanding, I sincerely wish: Good luck & good grow to ALL.......BB

BTW: NEEDY?....still waiting for "how 19 destroys 215"........you opened that can of worms, please deal with it, ty....BB

Can't we just talk about the facts and our interpretations of the unclear parts of the proposition without getting so emotional?

There is absolutely no need to name-call any one, it will not help your argument.

Prop. 19 makes it perfectly clear that the Initiative does NOT give municipalities any control over how medical marijuana patients obtain their medicine or how much they can possess and cultivate as the purpose of the legislation was to exempt the CUA and the MMP from local government reach. Whatever control municipalities have over patients and collectives is limited by the CUA and the MMP, not by Prop. 19.

WHY DO WE NEED GOVERNMET APPROVAL
Taken from wiki

According to the State of California analysis, the bill will have the following effects.[6]
[edit] Legalization of personal marijuana-related activities

Persons age 21 and older:

  • May possess up to 1 ounce (28 g) of marijuana for personal consumption.
  • May use marijuana in a non-public place such as a residence or a public establishment licensed for on site marijuana consumption.
  • May grow marijuana at a private residence in a space of up to 25 square feet (2.3 m2) for personal use.
[edit] Local government regulation of commercial production and sale


  • Local government may authorize the retail sale of up to 1 ounce of marijuana per transaction, and regulate the hours and location of the business.
  • Local government may authorize larger amounts of marijuana for personal possession and cultivation, or for commercial cultivation, transportation, and sale.
  • Allows for the transportation of marijuana from a licensed premises in one city or county to a licensed premises in another city or county, without regard to local laws of intermediate localities to the contrary.
[edit] Imposition and collection of taxes and fees


  • Allows the collection of taxes specifically to allow local governments to raise revenue or to offset any costs associated with marijuana regulation.
[edit] Authorization of criminal and civil penalties


  • Maintains existing laws against selling drugs to a minor and driving under the influence.
  • Maintains an employer's right to address consumption of marijuana that affects an employee's job performance.
  • Maintain existing laws against interstate or international transportation of marijuana.
  • Every person 18 years of age or over who furnishes, administers, or gives, or offers to furnish, administer, or give, any marijuana to a minor 14 years of age or older shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three, four or five years.
  • Every person 21 years of age or over, who furnishes, administers, or gives, or offers to furnish, administer, or give, any marijuana to someone older than the age of 18 but younger than 21, shall be imprisoned in county jail for up to six months and fined up to $1,000 per offense.
  • Any person who is licensed, permitted, or authorized to sell marijuana, who knowingly sells or gives away marijuana to someone under the age of 14, shall be imprisoned in state prison for a period of three, five, or seven years

Looks like it adds a bit more responsibility to being a stoner. Adds rights to the stoner. Where does it take away any? There is no mention of 215 at all!
Thats called legalization.

Nowhere in the bill does it state you have to pay taxes to grow or smoke your own, thats only if you want to sell it.

That would be because the "word" legal or legalization isn't in the prop. I'm obviously not a lawyer, but I believe it is the "regulations" of the thing that makes it "legal" or "illegal". I've never seen a law that "pronounced" something to be "legal". If the "regulations" in a prop state you MAY do something, then it's legal, however, if the "regulations" say you MAY NOT do something, then it's "illegal".
LOL, as I saw in another thread: "It's NOT rocket surgery".........BB

Sounds like your going to lose alot of money once prop 19 is passed Needofweed. Better start preparing your business and lowering your prices before competition beats you to it.

How about, $5/gram, or......$1/gram once the taxes are lowered below $50 an ounce.
