Some of my thoughts from the Indiana legislation thread. The cannabis industry is being forced to run in a lawless way over a prolonged period.

Not a good sign of times to come if this becomes a prescident. I like to have laws in place which must be followed to protect our rights and help guide the affairs of society in an orderly way representing the people. Its best to have solid legislation in place instead of a budget-associated rider which doesn't protect the people. Also lawmaking though ballot initiatives can be dangerous because the people don't always know and decisions are made by a select few who are really strong activists who are connected and may have another agenda.

Yeah its been such a lawless situation for so many years. The only piece of legislation protecting state medical cannabis activities has been a Federal annual budget rider attachment which has to be renewed every year. There is no protection for adult use cannabis in states which have legalized it, but the only protection for patients is an annually renewed rider. Industry also has no protections for their investments.

Lawlessness is not a good sign in my opinion, and I'm wondering if its signs of times to come where the government operates more and more outside of legislation, with more of a executive order, agency-driven, spending bill vote on everything type of government.

Won't be safe in canada if CoVid poppes back up or some other issue arises where they want to exercise authority that steps on human rights.

Tough to tell patients this, as I am in the same boat as you, big pharma medicine doesn't compare, but stay and fight the good fight. There are others who really are not able to physically or mentally advocate for change, but they or their loved ones need the cannabis medicine.

I do hold on to some hope, maybe the new research will be positive and will help them be able to loosen some of the restrictions for growing and using cannabis.

Would it be a step in the right direction? Thats how it is in NJ. Posession is legal but not home growing. People still grow without heavily funded eradication campaigns from what I understand. Home grow is legal in surrounding states, so its somewhat normalized.

They excluded homegrow inthe FL ballot initiative so that its more likely to pass I think. Its a poor decision not to include home grow, but not bad enough of an issue to vote against it for a cannabis reform supporter.

First ballot initiative in FL history, The PEOPLE worked hard to get it made official, vote yes.

The legislators will likely make reforms after it passes. Vote YES please. Its your decision but think about it
