LOL. Sorry but have a meeting organized by folks who couldn't get shit organized enough to make a difference when the time came, and now they want to try to figure out who to tell folks to vote for? Hahaha....when will folks see votes don't matter, this green thing called $$$ does.

Ahhh I guess you haven't heard the plan yet. Its pretty simple. Get the legislation then sue, or voter amend the legislation to something acceptable.

Remember, we are coming out of an era of prohibition, which is an extreme end of the spectrum. In order to change something that drastic MANY steps are needed and MANY obstacles are put in the way. The legislation was a good step, though with many bad and unintended consequences - but these are the things that we are now working on. These things will then be settled in court, and that will be considered the final say, or at least juris prudence. Which would a 'norming' of mmj in American society....etc...

The reason why there have not been a lot of lawsuits YET, is because the best possible cases are JUST beginning to be prepared to go to adjudication.

So, no True Grit - I disagree w/ you, this call is a good thing if you are concerned about the FUTURE of mmj.

Really, check it out - you might learn something. But probably not :)

No they had an opportunity to do it right, instead they worked with the politicians to make everybody get ready to pay, then pay, and now try to organize and PAY more to stay compliant or make change and PAY more to get compliant again.

It has nothing to do with a "prohibition" ending, apparently you weren't aware of some the pre-cursor actions that could have been taken prior to HB1284. Instead, everybody let the dumbass lawyers line up the law to line their pockets out of "concern" for patients and making sure they are "safe" and compliant under the new law..and again get them ready for this next round of expensive battling...

geez and to think all it would have take is using a group like mpp that offered to fund and do the work pre-1284...oh thats right everybody laughed it off, seemed to think its their right, and we can change laws later "if" somehow they get passed...and jeez they always seem to...

People under the assumption that its easy, quick, effective, or close to what you want to ammend a law instead of doing it right the first time are sorely mistaken. Of course that is evident by HB1284 and a shit ton of other crap laws out there that take forever to change, get tied up in litigation (yeah if ya think thats gonna be quick or cheap)...its ignorance and pacifism that allows this to happen in the first place- statements exactly like "we need to start somewhere"....

yeah thats why this country is where its at bud. if we didn't have that attitude we probably wouldn't be dealing with this issue right now. I mean seriously, you would trust people that allowed/agreed/supported a bill that outright bans access to meds for patients and gives that right of denial to politicians? And who see that as a progressive step?

And no i don't need to listen to a bunch of people that think they have "mmj/health" as a top concern. Been there, done that, always the same outcome. Have fun.

Dont get me started on TJ quotes lol... those guys would be the anti-thesis of this crap.

Think these pretty much sum it up from the founders and first pot farmers in the US.

"Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession."
-George Washington

They're in place, too late.

"It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it."
-George Washington

But again this is an argument or reality of the fuck up at hand, versus the idealist view that people would take the opportunity to do things right the first time, but we act in haste...i am guilty of haste myself...

Nice quotes TG.

Yeah, wasn't direct at you.

Just seemed apropos to the convo.

The whole 'cat out of the bag' / 'cows out of the barn' analogy.

You would think we would learn from these 'silly quotes', but I fear the worst most times.

Oh no sweat bro, i know where you were going with it....i took it as- fools rush in type thing... and yes very appropriate...

Yeah i agree, its outta the bag...and you would think we would learn...but no.
