For real though why is this plant being regulated as anything more than say tomatoes. Makes zero sense.

Hippies in Kalifornistan thought it was a good idea to let the gubmint control, regulate, and tax a plant so they could stay out of jail. They let them call it medicine - then tax medicine like no other medicine in the country. Liberal desire for tax dollars they can buy votes with, and people voting "YAY WEED!" as if that is the thing making their electricity super expensive - when it ain't in other states...

Wow - I wasn't even drunk LOL
Electricity was NOT my point. The idea that more tax dollars can fix anything is the joke. Look at the highest taxed places and all you see is a high cost of living all around - not a higher standard of living.
Whether it's gas, groceries, utility costs, home cost, whatever the metric of the money you pay to live somewhere the taxes raped from the public do nothing but line the pockets of the politicians. How can a state like FL or TN survive with no state tax whatsoever?

One thing that changed a few years back was that you could no longer claim your state taxes on your federal income tax. There used to be an offset where you could get a discount for living in a high tax state. When that was removed and people in free states were no longer subsidizing commune states the residents of those 'free stuff' states had to actually start paying full price for their poor decisions politically.

Every action/decision has a consequence or reward. Must've been nice to have their cake and eat it too. Gotta love government subsidizing poor decisions. Too much of that for too long is one of the many reasons this county is in the state it is.
Ever research why the roman empire failed? Last i remember reading was their taxes or cost of living went up like 1000% in 100 years or something like that. Just think what a loaf of bread cost about 100 years ago.

Please follow the link and read the article. I found it to be an enlightening read.

If weed was a legal option everywhere, and there was no drug testing to keep a job, weed would overtake alcohol and illegal narcotics in no time because it fills the need and is safe. If you can buy a pack of marlboro dank just by showing your ID at the 7/11 who's going down the alley to maybe get rolled by the crack dealer?
The unfortunate thing no one in cannabis considers is the constitution.
Amendments 1-8 of the Bill of Rights specifically define the purview of the federal government. There are literally 8 portions of society's function that the federal government is allowed to regulate and cannabis is not one of them. Neither is education or healthcare.
The 9th says "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." meaning that just because they didn't define the right doesn't mean we don't have it.
The 10th says that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." - State and local governments want to keep their power so they choose "reserved to the State" rather than the part about us peasants. But that's where lawsuits and probono weed lawyers step in and smash the state. The last two are pertinent to us having the right to smoke and grow it, and the states thinking they have the right to regulate it - because the feds can't.
Right now it is still prohibited to the states, since it is federally illegal, but some states choose to operate under the 10th and wait for the feds to push the issue in court - which they still could.
All the fed can do is remove cannabis from the schedule and decriminalize what they have criminalized. The other option the fed has is to drop cannabis to schedule 2 like codeine and the rest of the narcotics. That way they can control us and hand out profit to their big pharma buddies - who will make THC pills.
good to know info in my book!
Mine too. I have a new profile post and updated my about. It may interest you.

He has a few off ideas based on is 'britishality' and flawed reasoning based on that concept, but mostly he's spot on.
