One problem I see isn't that people won't come to there senses after it sinks in . They will. But because this was a vote of the people it will take an other vote of the people take changes. First they must agree on how it would be changed , then someones going to have to pony up a million bucks to get it on the ballet. The people won't have rich backers like the authors of this ballot did to get it done being Mom and Pop growers. Volunteer signature drives have already been tried ( CCHI) , it's going to take money and a lot of work to enact change. Would have been so much easier to get it right in the first place! The rich backers of this new law played on peoples wanting legalization to set themselves up . Just makes me sick to see people tricked so easy.
For all who have paid the price... didn`t we deserve better from a legalization law? I`m betting after all this sinks in we decide to continue the fight for passing the CCHI or a bill that well reflects the freedoms included in the proposed law. I know many will keep Jack Herer`s ideas for real freedom of cannabis rights alive. Lets let them know there`s a better and even way to administer law than to over regulate and over tax the people in the name of legalization!Omar Figueroa, a prominent local attorney specializing in cannabis law, posted this today (meme included):
"I sat in the San Mateo Superior Court in Redwood City yesterday afternoon and saw numerous defendants ordered released after their felony possession for sale of marijuana cases were dismissed or reduced to misdemeanors, thanks to Proposition 64.
One particularly memorable defendant was an elderly African-American gentleman who appeared in custody; he was charged with felony possession for sale and apparently had been sitting in jail for months unable to bail out. Thanks to Proposition 64, the case was dismissed, since the 11359 charge was now a misdemeanor and he had already served the maximum sentence of six months. Thanks to Creator!
If Dragonfly De La Luz (Sativa Chronnoisseur), Letitia Pepper, and like-minded reactionaries had had their way, these defendants would still be in chains."

Better? How? Who's gonna do it? CCHI, seriously?For all who have paid the price... didn`t we deserve better from a legalization law?

Yeah I agree with you it was going to go on ballot in Michigan but didn't get enough signatures in time anyways I read the bill It would only allow 3 companies to grow and sell from Colorado. Keep the rich rich and the poor poor.
Move to a less progressive state. Here in WA its taken years for the law makers to realize they didnt have everyone who smokes, smoking recreational. The laws are tightening and squashing the legal ability to grow medicinaly. Your state will surely use us and other legal states as a template. Where as we had years to slowly transition on a SLOW learning curve i expect your state to swiftly squash you out.I'm not to sure what all you stoners are thinking, but we got legal weed here now. I'm not to happy about it but fuck it lets make the best of it I guess. Where do we go from here? I can't imagine seeing our grassroots industry getting shit out by the corporates. So now what u people think is going to happen to us? All I know is what happens in the next 2 years will likely dictate the next 20. Anyhow let's hear some opinions
I worry that when they see the money they dont make (total smokers vs rec smokers) they may find a way to prosecute. Here in WA they were more than happy with profits year 1. Now there wiser, understanding many still go elswhere for their smoke. I expect it wont be long till medical cardholders feel a money motivated police presence. Also consider the legal ramifications may not come in the form of cultivation charges, but more frightfull charges of Tax evasion ect.Get serious, get focused, and above all get growing, that's what. The handcuffs are off, we can't get charged with a felony for cultivation anymore, so take advantage of it. We all have a little over a year to get everything all lined up and ready before the state starts to issue permits to do whatever you want. Sitting by the sidelines will ensure a corporate takeover, so don't just sit around and complain, get to work.
