After reading the Bill and weighing the pros and cons, the Administration of ICMAG would like to urge members to vote yes on The Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 that will come before the Voters in the State of California this Novenber.
In my opinion, there are few reasons other than greed that would make someone vote no on this Bill. Some of us have waited decades to see this happen, and to read some of the comments from people regarding wanting this Bill to fail, both saddens and angers us.
Regarding the issue of tax, we would much rather see it untaxed, yet we know in reality this will never happen. And because it does not affect 215 in any way, it would be wrong not to vote yes.
There are many other reasons to pass this Bill, but the main reason is the safety it will offer people, along with an avenue to grow and smoke their own Cannabis. Adults will finally be able to grow and smoke Cannabus with no fear of fines or incarceration. It could also open the door to the release of some people already incarcerated in jails and prisons on non violent Cannabus related charges.
The most of us have hoped to see Cannabus legalized worldwide, and we feel that although not perfect, the passing of this Bill could be a major stepping stone to making these dreams become a reality.
