I just wanted to voice my opinion one last time the night before this historic vote for California.
I will be voting Yes on Prop 19 tomorrow. I believe it is time to send a message to the rest of the world that this is the turning point for cannabis legalization.
While it is not perfect, at this point I can't tell you what a perfect initiative would be.
What I do know is that it will leave taxing and regulating up to my local officials. What that means is we get to write the script on this one. We are fortunate to have local county officials who understand the importance of the cannabis industry to this community and want to see it thrive.
We are still trying to figure out medical after fifteen years. There is no doubt there is still a lot of work that needs to be done there. A lot of people felt the same way about Prop 215, that it is too vague. It may take another fifteen years before we get commercial cultivation figured out from Prop 19 but I am ready to open this can of worms.
Many think this will mean the end of the industry here in the Emerald Triangle, I think it is the beginning of a new one.
