no i just see the "tea party" as a bunch of neoliberal distractions...
same as 215....
they just dont have the resources or the manpower...
given the makeup of the court..
if obama gets another appointee..
ect..
Don't they have DEA agents authorized to make seizures, press charges etc? Though I heard DEA use local LEO's and without them they're incapacitated.
Anyway there's also all this talk about big tobacco chains invading the pot market, think they'll go for it given it still would be a federal felony?
I: why do you think they backed off med patients? because it's the right thing to do? of course not they can no longer afford to subsidize the level of enforcement needed for CA. That level only exponentially increases if everybody and his brother has 5X5
II: no
the ROI for a national company and risk vs. reward model just dont compute for the comparative chump change they could make in a 19 scenario.
Yeah but what about the shops? They are easy targets, just go in, seize the stash and charge away. They can do it once in a while just to send a message. I'm ignorant on how they did it with MMJ, but it just looks so easy to terrorize shop owners/dispensaries and send owners to jail for long. It looks like legal MJ is going to be enthusiast market only, no common CEO would risk jail. Bless those guys who's gonna be on front line.
No, it will change the moment Prop 19 passes. This is because upwards of over 90% of all busts are done state level and not federal. Also, almost all of the federal cases started at the state level and was given to the feds to pursue.
Prop 19 prevents local/state officers from working with the feds. This is a major blow.
And of those 30K felonies how many were in the small category that 19 changes?
Only hash less than an OZ and growing in 5'x5' is changed by 19 ALL other CA felonies stay felonies don't they?
Don't forget the results from your harvest(s) - if that hash over an oz. is in your house.
Yeah that is covered in the 5x5 growing space, but if they are coming through your door to check your 5x5 or the amount of harvest you have inside you are screwed.
This will make stash houses easier to maintain, but people in CA aren't having their doors kicked in for too much pot in their homes. Growing too big or selling will still get you popped.
So again I say not many of those 30K felonies Dagnabit was talking about will be covered by Prop 19. This is a very weak first step.

lmao
so you dont think the MAJORITY of felony arrests for MJ are possession of larger quantities (mostly by minorities in poor neighborhoods)?
you are out of touch...
Let us remember that "Arrests" include all citations that are handed out for simple possession...also it includes all those that LEO decides to arrest, in spite of Prop 215...and are later dropped in Court--

So Felony manufacture/sale will not change under prop 19 and is 17K arrests, and like Dagnabit said the pigs can just use selective enforcement to target who ever they want.
But the chart also states that these 17K arrests are down from 18 years prior (mmj 1996 between the two data points).
The 61K arrests for minor possession have already been reduced to infractions so these arrests won't happen in 2011 irrespective of prop 19.
Like I said VERY WEAK first step.
