For sure they won't dry up. I don't think anyone is clueless and thinks raids will end overnight.

Though, when the local & state officers are not allowed to help the Feds on investigating Marijuana offenses (federal offenses), it will essentially cut the arms off the octopus of the DEA. So I imagine that there may be a steep incline in DEA busts shortly after Prop 19 passes to make a point. Then a rapid decline once they can't keep up with it (lack of resources).

Though, you have to consider the ramification of stigma once Prop 19 passes. Over time, people will see their friends and families ingest Cannabis. They will see that they didn't turn into lazy losers overnight. Also, I foresee brave doctors and scientists performing studies that substantiate the Pro-Cannabis movement. Lack of social problems coupled with strong scientific study should breakdown the so-called Berlin wall our Governments have created for Cannabis.

I personally feel that our Governments are panicking. I have a strong feeling that once some of the lies have been uncovered, that the people will be IRATE. They will demand an investigation. I have a strong feeling that an in-depth investigation will reveal that many people in our government has known for a long time that Cannabis is not harmful. I have a feeling, people will be going to jail.

Isn't it interesting when more than a handful of ex-DEA Csar's come forward and write a letter to our president to urge a lawsuit? How about how many of them have been flying around the country giving press conferences to promote prohibition. Who pays for this? This stuff isn't cheap. To me, it seems like they have something to hide and need to keep it hidden at all costs.


I think under ABX 6-9 it will be UNLAWFUL for state and local leo to help or provide any assistance to the feds. I wonder if leos that get caught will be criminally prosecuted?

I look forward to the passage of ABX 6-9. I have a feeling that some bad cops will continue to help the feds, but I feel that many will get the massage and do whats right.

I don't think cops will be put in jail, but I do feel that they will have a pretty big lawsuit thrown against them.

Stepping stones... They will test the water. When the water bites back they will take notice. Then we will settle into where things will be until we pass further legislation.

I find it simply hilarious when members of a pro-cannabis website try to convince others to continue cannabis prohibition!

This has to be the silliest and most hypocritical situation of all times.

But, then again, money talks and when ones' cash stream appears threatened you never know how some people will react.

I can see a future TV series in the making. Would probably make for a few good laughs.

Listen, the laws you make are the laws you make. I understand Cali is about to fight one hell of a legal war over this if Cooley gets elected. I promise however that he will cost the state millions if not billions because of his crusade and that it will only strengthen the position of the current laws. Just because we can pass a law doesn't mean that we should. It is a poorly written law to begin with. Just because the country is swinging doesn't mean we should pass laws that are poorly written. Politics has a short lifespan, one which forgets that the republicans and their trickle down economics don't work. We will all learn these lessons over and over again. But rather than get this into politics we shall agree to disagree no?

thats exactly also why Cooley is against it. he says it was poorly written.

also, he makes a point that the ability of different parts of Cali to make their own regulations on growing/selling is going to create a jurisdictional nightmare.

will we be able to keep our co-ops?

will we be able to keep our co-ops?

Adela Falk of Wisdom Organics is my new hero, she has been one of the front people in the fight to keep dispensaries, and co-ops in San Diego open, marching through the bureaucracies of city government,she had a step forward when a large group of activists swarmed the city council chambers with signs on sept. 7 2010, 5 weeks prior, Adela had pleaded with the council to place the ordinance on the docket, which would stop the cease and desist actions that have been closing shops with little recourse. Adelas words however, fell on deaf ears.,
Afterwards, staffers of Donna Fry (who is on the city council Dist. 6) met with Adela to point out that the council would be unlikely to address the concerns of one individual. "where are the masses"? in the end, some local groups were represented, but the ordinance was not put on the agenda.
A peaceful protest was organized by the San Diego Americans for Safe Access and led by "Quadruple Acquittal" Eugene Davidovich.
Signs and chants enhanced the impact message that, "its time for a change"
Adela Falk and dozens of supporters stood at the podium, while Adela told the council "you did not want to address the concerns of an individual?, well, here we are as a community, and we want change".
unfortunately, after, Adela pointed out, what she had predicted had come to pass.
Cease and desist orders continued, including one for Wisdom Organics.
People, please dont sit by, while everything everyone has worked so hard for, gets taken from us,( one-by-one, they are going after the landlords of the "legal" Co-Ops and the people who run them,who are doing everything they can to follow the rules by the letter ).and will keep doing so, until they have closed them all. Support ours and yours local Co-Ops, do what you can to help, if things keep going like they are, we will have nowhere to buy medicine, I am a legal prop 215 SB 420 card holder,and i am in constant pain, from a head on collision (that was not in any way my fault) and fighting the option to take vicodin, which after a couple days of taking, also has me in a lot of pain due to my kydneys drying up, and my stomach pains due to constipation, and i dont want to take a pill to take another pill to take another pill, that is rediculous.and i know there are many more people out here that are going through the same thing. Please stand up for our rights as a community, and as an individual, i dont want to go back to getting my meds from some shady kid, or a "friend" of a friend, and thank you for your time and feed back.

Also, im not trying to spam, but if anyone is in the so. cal. area, more specifically San Diego area, Adela and Wisdom Organics is throwing one last fling before they have to close their doors, Oct. 30, 2010, the day before Halloween, please stop by if you can, she,i and everyone would love to have you join us.

thanks again.

Cooley and the "no" supporters have blown this waaaaay out of proportion. First of all, the reason they made it this way, is because by writing it in this way, the Feds can't attack it in court and succeed. This is because the Feds can't force our state to enforce their laws. The way Prop 19 is written, it removes Cannabis as a crime to an extent. If Prop 19 required Cannabis to be sold, etc, then the feds could sue all day. This is because it would be a direct conflict. Bottom line, the only way a Bill can survive will be if it can't be shot down by the Feds in court. The way that Prop 19 did it, it is believed is the only way to ensure this.

Many, I mean MANY things are regulated by city/county instead of by State. Fireworks, smoking in public, sales tax (yes, each county can add to the sales tax and they do), and many more. These are all regulated locally and work just fine.

In Texas, Alcohol is regulated by County/City. There are "dry" counties. This works just fine.

What happened to the ruling against J. Jones? I thought that would put an end to dispensaries period. It didn't.
The more they raid, the more opened up. Why is that? We now have more than 1000 clubs open in this state and plenty more in other states as well. How will they justify raiding patients dispensaries in a state that has elected to legalize rec use?

Crazy cool parallels with the HBO show "Boardwalk Empire." This could be similar to the 10 year period when NY ended prohibition, but the rest of the country continued the flawed federal scheme.

8 days to freedom!

stickey fingers

my best friend spent 5 years in federal prison, and missed his daughter being born, beacause his so called friend of many years, turned snitch and caught my friend in a conspercey, for doing nothing different than me or any of or other friends. This happened just before 215.
10 years has gone buy, but little has changed, since 215,420, liveing in butte county in nor cal, is not a dream. this year the sheriff and local police, made a sweep and declaired all the dispenserys aginst federal and were fined and shut down.
19 may not be perefect but its the right choice for me, i use cannabis as my medicne and just want safe acess.

RIP DR JAY

If voting no is continuing prohibition, then all the years we went without a ballot are considered continuing prohibition.

We all go down together, prohibitionist.

Thanks for your own mature response.

Voting no isn't a right, it's a privilege.

I want people to vote for what they want.

Period.

I'm not going to posture and blame after this is all over.

I hope you don't either.

Sorry if i missed the post but why would folks from other states vote no? I am just curious and am lacking knowledge on this question.

I'm thinking it was a poll of people's ideals.

Such as, "If you lived in California, would you vote yes or no on 19?"

Not "Since you can mail in your votes to a different state, how are you voting?"

Dude, it's kinda disappointing how man people in CA aren't voting yes. You guys just don't realize how lucky you are. Follow your heart. You have the opportunity to keep people from going to jail for a victimless crime. I just don't get how a person can sit behind bars for smoking a plant. NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE. This bill isn't perfect, but it is better than no bill, and another bill isn't guaranteed any time soon.
