I would disagree. Under prop19, the penalty for selling to someone under 21 would have been a 6 month jail sentence, $1000 fine, and 1 year ban from operating business. This means that anyone (government, special interest group, people who blindly oppose weed due to propaganda in the past) could immediately shut down a vendor simply by catching them selling to someone under 21. All vendors could be eliminated within weeks if someone really wanted to shut them down, and then what? Prop19 could have backfired in everyone's face. I believe this is why many people voted no.
No one is telling you to take Xanax or Zoloft.
The point is not limit it only to being a medical remedy.
This is a recreational pass time for many who have no health problems...
...other than Anxiety from Paranoia of being incarcerated or fined for injesting fine 'erb.
They could do the same to any liquor store or bar that furnishes alcohol to a minor. That was the push here. To try and make marijuana LEGAL FOR ADULT USE and put it in the same category as the recreational drug alcohol. Boo-Hoo if your under 21. Should everyone go to jail because you have to wait another 2-3 years to become a legal adult? Such a childish and selfish claim. Not to mention Ammiano was already ready to introduce a ammendment to make possession charges for minors even lower, along with increasing possession amounts and decreasing commercial liscesing fees to produce and distribute marijuana.
The failure of 19 is placed entirely on the backs of the people who decided not to vote as well as the huge republican/teaparty turnout. Like ive said, the growers/dealers make up such a small demographic that all of their fear mongering paled in comparison to the anti-mj conservative crowd.
Not so true, I'm sure I look like a super healthy 20 something to most but I have ANXIETY, EATING DISORDERS, and still dealing with the DEPRESSION of losing my best friend.. I guess I should take Zoloft and Xanax??? 215 was written so ANYTHING that bothers you physically or mentally that you can stop with Cannabis you should be able to have a card... I get so tired of the shit you hear from folks thinking we all need to be on our death bed in a wheel chair with 2 years life left just to use Cannabis medicinally !
Gotta be 21 to smoke a plant that doesn't impair you like alcohol but you can go kill Iraqi children at the ripe age of 18... It's ok to take another persons life at that age but OMG put that joint away!!! Keep buying cigarettes which are far worse on your lungs too!
People voted for SERIOUSLY ILL PATIENTS. If Californians KNEW how abused 215 would become with all these "depression", "anxiety" and "insomnia" patients they would have voted no. But hey you got one over on the people of california and now theres nothing they can do and since you have such a wonderful thing going with your precious mmj system fuck everyone else right?
Oh and by the way 19 didnt make any new penalties, it just referred to the ones already in place. You fucking people make me sick. If it wern't for the fact that REAL patients would suffer if 215 was shut down, id say get rid of the whole fucking thing just to spite you arrogant pricks who justified a NO vote through any pathetic excuse that you could think of. You just set our whole movement back YEARS. Imagine if 215 was shot down like 19 was. Where would we be now? 19 held so much opportunity for so many people, im disgustedly ashamed to see how many people on this forum are so selfish and short sighted.
I'm not for HUGE profits but come on nobody really does this for free...

This is a moot point, besides, I don't really believe anything a politician simply says. Action speaks a lot louder than words, especially in politics.Not to mention Ammiano was already ready to introduce a ammendment to make possession charges for minors even lower, along with increasing possession amounts and decreasing commercial liscesing fees to produce and distribute marijuana.
