LMFAO, so if I disagree with A64 I automatically hate women, families and the public education system, Jerome? That's your rebuttal, Jerome? Really?Hmmm.... where do I begin.....
You don't like 64 because of its marketing slogan "Campaign to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol". That is like saying you don't like women because some people call them ladies. Are you a woman hater, Bill? More so, if you dig Amend64 completely you can see why they choose to use this slogan. The current MMJ system, if was being marketed would be "The Campaign to Requate Marijuana like a Schedule 1 Drug" .
Amendment 64 calls for a system that is less regulated than the current system - a great example of this is how Independent Growers can sell to the dispensaries, and that their fees for regulatory compliance at capped at $5,000 + inflation. This means any grower that has his shit together can live the dream...
As for the 21 and up issue, that is necessary at this point in time. After the juvenile and child custody courts adjust thier actions and ways, only the can cannabis be sold to those 18+. To ask for any else at this time would be causing parents to lose their children if they got caught up in the court system. That ain't right. Are you suggesting parents lose their children, Bill?
The excise tax you complain about it not that bad. There are taxes on everything, and there are excise taxes on all forms of indulgences currently. Why do you feel cannabis should be treated special? Furthermore, the first $40,000,000.00 of the taxes collected off of non-mmj sales goes to fund public school infrastructure. Are you against helping the schools and children out, Bill?
As for your DUID reference. Amend 64 does not create any new DUID offenses. Infact, I can see that if A64 passes, MMJ patients will be the only people allowed to have 5+ nano-grams in their system.
Clearly you're not a very logical person, Jerome. Maybe that is why you believe the government would do what they say they would with $40,000,000.00 once it was in their private piggy bank. Just like they did with funds from the registry, right, Jerome?
I'm already living the "dream." I don't need to pay the government an additional 5k/year + inflation. Any money given to the government goes into a black hole to never be seen or heard from again. Fuck that.
We don't need a new list of regulations and taxes for Cannabis. We need to drop ALL the ones we have now and just make Cannabis a completely legal entity to do whatever we choose to do with it, as adults.
