You are just off your nut if you think throwing growers under the bus for the sake of micro gardeners is a step forward.
Prop 19 affirms by majority vote TERRIBLE law. As it stands now we are oppressed by an immoral law that has NO support from this community.
You seek to lend community support to this continued scheme of IMPRISONING growers.
Passing 19 may make it better for the CONSUMER but it does so at the expense of PRODUCERS and it asks this community to lend moral sanction to the imprisonment of humans over a flower.
History has shown that most immoral comprises fail. I view prop 19 as an immoral compromise and a violation of every human's unalienable rights to privacy and the pursuit of happiness; therefore I can't endorse it.
Again, as NORML said:
“Every dollar earned while marijuana is illegal equals some kid getting a misdemeanor, some mom doing jail time, or some dad being shot by a cop.
I support any person who wants to make money growing marijuana, but not at the cost of 77,000 arrests in California every year.
Prop 19 will allow cities – not Sacramento – to create commercial regulations. Why wouldn’t a city like, say, Ukiah, make regulations that best support their small grower economic base?
That’s the cool thing about something being legal; if it’s not working properly, you can vote in new people and laws to make it work better.
But if you vote no on 19, no city can do anything to support their small growers and Sacramento can still send helicopters and cops after them.”
I paint you one...
