Compassionate and Sensible Access Act

[beer batter]

Their is buzz in Sacramento about various legalization angles being submitted to voters this coming presidential election. I think it is very important to get behind and advocate for the right legalization law which protects doctors and patients first while supporting competitive business instead of corporate interests.

The CSAA will treat marijuana like any floral business, my concern is other interests may try to reform the floral industry to spite!

I am backing this voter initiative to the fullest, didn't support prop 19 years back due to faulty language. This removes all local restrictions on patients and is fairly straight forward

I agree, I hope next year all the major initiatives can compromise and unify and come up with clear "no strings attached" language for patients, growers, recreational, and the whole hemp industry. Clear language with a minimum of regulation to jumpstart the California economy.

California State AB266 and SB643 will both destroy PROP215 and Growers Rights. Both of these have "passed" the committee vote and will be voted on soon.

1) All medical collectives and cooperatives will become illegal! Only licensed dispensaries and licensed cultivators will be allowed to sell.

2) Licensed cultivators will have to provide GPS coordinates of their gardens! WTF

3) Anybody with a felony for possession/distribution of marijuana will not be able to obtain a license to cultivate or dispense.

4) Applications for licenses require fingerprinting sent to the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation for a background investigation

5) Exempts Patients "who cultivates, possesses, stores, manufactures, or transports marijuana exclusively for his or her personal medical use and who does not sell, distribute, donate, or provide marijuana to any other person or entity."

6) A primary caregiver can "cultivates, possesses, stores, manufactures, transports, or provides marijuana exclusively for the personal medical purposes to no more than five specified qualified patients for whom he or she is the primary caregiver within the meaning of Section 11362.7 of the Health and Safety Code and who does not receive remuneration for these activities, except for compensation in full compliance with subdivision (c) of Section 11362.765 of the Health and Safety Code. Nothing in this section shall permit primary caregivers to organize themselves as cooperatives or collectives of caregivers."

7) Counties and cities can still have grow bans like Butte,Yuba, etc do now.

8) Counties and cities that did not have grow bans will be forced to follow all of the above.

If you care spread these links and call the politicians up and let them know your mind, tell them their re-election depends on it. "Vote no on SB643 and AB266"

If this nonsense passes, it will LITERALLY be illegal to pass a joint to a friend in the State of California.
