Well dont smoke and drive. When, and i do say WHEN, they legalize it, they are going to do the same exact thing as booze. If your caught over a certain limit, your gonna get a DUI.
And they are already lookin into ways of testing for THC levels in the system. There is no technology currently for this that works like a brethalyzer, but there has been no need. Now that there is need, you bet your ass companies are looking into it.
People who say that the state wont make money off of it are also either A) just plain stupid and undereducated or B) a grower/drug dealer who doesnt want to lose business
The state gains in a number of ways on this one. You drastically reduce the number of state criminal cases involving weed. This free's up huge amount of money/resources. The cops are free to go around getting 'real' drugs off the street. Saves a ton of money in prosecution and enforcement.
Next you have the tax side of it. You bet your ass the majority of people would go to a store and buy weed like you do ciggarettes. BILLIONS of tax dollars right there.
I believe that they will also make it so you have to get a permit to grow at home over certain amounts (just like alcohol). This will generate revenue. If you are a grower now, you sure as hell would want to get in on the permit, so you would have zero fear of being raided, and continue to grown.
Its a win/win for the state no matter which way you cut it.
This plus more.
And there is proof that legalizing it will work. Look to the end of prohibition. Same people that lobbied against that are the same ones lobbying now. Special interest groups and bootleggers...

Its win win for both the state and the people who smoke that are not criminals other than this particular law. Only dumb asses get pulled over high and should go to jail anyways.

Im laughing at all the people who are saying legalize it and get your lic/permit and youre good to go and not have fear of being raided.What you guys dont realize is it will still be illegal on a federal level and you can still get hemmed up just as easily.
Why would I vote no?Because I do grow right now.Instead of paying 10 racks for a growers license I can get a 100$ doctors recommendation that will make me just as legal as it would be if it passes in november.Another reason is right now I sell legally to dispensaries pay my normal taxes on the money and Im all good.Now why would I want to pay more taxes on the same money Im getting now.Ill pass.And for the big picture Im just as legal now as I would be in november.
And yes to whoever said I just dont want to get a "real" job.

I am sure it will not be 10g's for a growers license.
But I respect your position. Like I said, the people that are opposing this are bootleggers and special interest. You lie somewhere inbetween those 2. So your reasoning is self serving. Which I totally respect. But be ready to change your business model or polish up your resume.
Ona side note, there are way too many holes in the current system. And we all know you dont just sell to dispensaries...lol. JK.
Real talk, there are no downsides to legalizing it from a standpoint other than yours. And even in your example, you get your hustle right and you can still come out on top.

Why are they legalizing meth too? If that happened, stockton pd wouldnt have anything to do.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

From my understanding you(everyone with medicinal prescriptions) will be restricted much much more than you are now..
I've heard something as crazy as 3 plants and 1 ounce....
Personally i think we(Californians) are guinea pigs and Califoria is trying to see what and how exactly they can control us...

The day marijuanna gets legalized is the day Marboro dedicates 1/3 of its already ready land to grow some commeriacal grade joints for the public. Most people don't have a friendly weed pusher or know how to grow themselves. Can we agree that there are more smokers than growers? Also it will be the gateway for kids to get it w/o their parents knowing they took a nug from their stash. Marboro will be paying taxes and Mexico will be smuggling in their version. Regardless the quality will be bad and weed will all of a sudden become addicting. Food for thought.
BTW the the ones that know how to grow will still be able to grow great quality weed, and be able to sell to the ones that care about quality. But there will be many growers if marijuanna gets legalized.

weed will NOT be seen (to the people that matter) as an equal to cigs or alcohol. once they legalize it it will be heavly regulated even more so then it is now. the only people that will be allowed to produce will be the richest of the rich with connections on getting around red tape (permits and such).
weed shops will be treated just like a Gun shop in SF sure its legal but nobody will be for it and only gods word will get you a permit to sell/grow on a commercial scale.
so forget about all that nonsense of people will open shops and we can tax it bullshit. now they will be regulating weed even harder,they won't be selling it at yur local store, there will be even more loops to jump through for weed. now its trully MEDICINAL. a headache or a boo boo on your knee isn't going to get you a cannabis card anymore.
so hope it does not pass for YOUR sake ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

You potheads are so whacked out, you want it legal, now you dont because this will happen and that. Make up your high ass minds! Isnt this what those dudes at NORML have been lobbying for years? How much harder could it be regulated since now its ILLEGAL?

Legalizing it won't change the economy. Everytime i would fly to a fire all i had to do is look down and you can see the plantations everywhere behind peoples houses.

So you think because you fly over peoples houses and see people growing weed legalizing it won't affect the whole state of California..
Generalize much?
Medical marijuana makes BILLIONS a year. Agramed is trying to build a warehouse in Oakland that will make millions a year in taxes alone! Look up Harborside, iGrow, etc these companies are becoming financial powerhouses.
The bottom line is that cities/counties are seeing the ridiculous profits that "lazy potheads" are making and they want a share. A $50-$100/ounce share.
I'm all for legalizing it because whether or not you smoke it, it's just a PLANT.
Even if it doesn't pass people will buy Prop 215 cards and continue buying it under Uncle Sams nose.

once marijuana is legalized it will just be another crop, now that its no longer illegal it will loose its value. and that so called planned million dollar crop in oakland is now a waste of space.
those high prices that you see for marijuana is because of its illegal status, which those cities/counties will NOT see once its made legal.

law officials are being overworked and all, legalizing it would lessen their work load and free up some extra money.

Fuck it..... If it's for tax money and you wanna quick out of the current economy here in Ca. We should make prostitution , weed and gambling legal here in Ca. You want tax revenue, that's where the moneys at. You wouldn't have to go to hot ass Vegas to have fun. Plus you could smoke all a refer you want. Just think, you can get a bj while smoking a blunt then go play a few hands of 3 card poker.
