No patients are bringing up the no grow clause in their testimony. I'm at work and unable to be there or I would be. I don't understand why no one is bringing it up.

Yes, seriously, if they did 'no action' does that mean there is basically not enough time for it to get passed right? Monday midnight is a deadline i thought. It has no time to go back to Assembly Judiciary again and then Ways and Means and then Assembly Floor. Unless it all can happen between tomorrow and Monday.

I just read the revised amendment. Look at Sec 22 Paragraph 6(b) and use your imagination.
And keep in mind it says "all dispensaries must supply quantity of specific strain you need." As a practical matter, How in the hell are they going to do that?

Plus Anteah, it would have to go back to the Senate to vote for the new amendment. Then, didn't I hear, it would have to be actually signed by the Governor by Monday night? He might have a few questions too. Tick tock, huh...

Yes strain thing is interesting.. to say the least. For real how is it even going to be enforced?.. seems like the whole 'mock up' was really just that... like they have never even tried to make a serious peace of legislation out of it to begin with. It is so vague. Who is going to check the strain? Its almost laughable really. I am really confused by the whole thing. Also maybe 'making metro happy' is really providing them with a list of all home growers who screamed about the no grow issue the loudest..... i know its a bit paranoid, but at this point i am like in a twilight zone here. I cant understand the exact purpose(s) of this bill, but it seems like its a more of a cat in a bag than what it really appeared to be. Bottom line is this, there is enough money behind this bill to be able put it through if that was the original intention. Why is it being slowed down so much and by who?

Circus Minimus, I think they are trying to look like busy heros; trying to make everybody happy while bringing forward the issue that the Constitution says that they really "ought to get around to it" someday.
Also, I hate that shark skin carpetbagger Max they always throw up to testify on the Billion Dollar Industry they are creating. I was trying to "Scanner" him and make his head blow up while he was blowing smoke up their asses. Didn't work; but at least I gave it a shot.

So because they have taken "no action" what happens now? And also anyone have info on why? Is it because of the no grow clause?
 

MangoCat

They took no action because Tick presented the bill along with a "Mock-Up" amendment for discussion rather the bill with a real, thought-out, workable final amendment for the Assembly Judiciary to take action on.
There is nothing more to do until Tick finishes actually writing the Amendment which could take days....hopefully.
For thoughts on why, please see above.

The No Grow amendment was brought up buy the last guy that testified against the bill and for that reason alone.
When it was laid out as to why the amendment was unconstitutional using these laws and definitions as follows---

Sec. 38.  Use of plant of genus Cannabis for medical purposes.

1.  The legislature shall provide by law for:

(a) The use by a patient, upon the advice of his physician, of a PLANTof the genus Cannabis

NRS 453. 096 “Marijuana” defined.

1. “Marijuana” means:

(a) All parts of any plant of the genus Cannabis, whether growing or not;

(b) The seeds thereof;

(c) The resin extracted from any part of the plant; and

(d) Every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture or preparation of the plant, its seeds or resin.

And when this section was read---

NRS 453A.120 “Medical use of marijuana” defined. “Medical use of marijuana” means:

1. The possession, delivery, production or use of marijuana;

The chairman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee immediately leaned over to his right and whispered something in the guys ear and both shook their head in agreement.

After that, Senator Hutchison told the guy who testified against that he still would be able to grow for the next 2 years.

REMEMBER, it isn 't always what they say but what they DON"T say that matters. With all the talk about how constitutional dispensaries are, not 1 time did he say that the no grow amendment was or wasn't constitutional. This is telling.
If it were why did he try to sneak it in before?
If it were he would have said it was.
If it were he wouldn't have given in allowing a 2 year grandfather clause.
He knew before he was busted when he had to admit to inserting this shit into the bill and he knew today he was busted when the constitutionality of it was being questioned, after being told by the guy that was against it that he had consulted council who advised that the amendment would not stand up to a constitutional challenge and just because law enforcement wanted it didn't make it legal
That's why he didn't address if the amendment was constitutional or not. And could be a reason that it could take a bit for any action to be taken on it.

Remember too, the Assembly Judiciary Co has to meet again to do a work session on it before voting on it.
Then to the Ways and Means for testimony because it has financial impact, then to the Assembly for a vote.
Possible it could die sometime between now and Monday night.

And then, after 2/3 Assembly approval, back to the Senate to ratify the potential Assembly Amendment, which is a Mock-up at the moment, and then to the Governor to sign.....by Monday night. If I was FOR this bill, I would be real nervous right now; but I'm not, so I'm just a little nervous.

Unless they have some tricks up their sleeve that we are not considering that will help them circumvent all these stops i think the ship has sailed for this bill. Just dont see how its possible.
 

MangoCat

Me neither. It's been fun fretting through this with you all though. I hope we're about done with it. Puff puff, pass.

Sunday and Monday schedule is posted for Assembly Judiciary and no 374. Not sure if it can still change but so far looks like it may have died in committee.

I know this doesn't affect me but it could clearly affect a lot of needy members.
Just shows you - you gotto read that small print!
Best wishes folks, with stopping that latest amendment & your demands to grow your own MJ freely without let or hindrance from your 'Big Brother'.
Stay safe & happy growing :tiphat:

This morning was a long time ago; but the cop testified something about we need to stop growing our own because there had been eight or so murders associated with growhouses.
Well I googled that and found Channel 8 news had this to say about that:

http://www.8newsnow.com/story/11936624/i-team-the-pot-house-murders-of-las-vegas

"Metro says at least seven homicides in 2009 are linked to the trade.

Two brothers who supposedly shot a burglar in their yard at Cheyenne and Buffalo in October of 2009 were apparently protecting their pot farm from a rival.

An 8-year-old girl was gunned down in North Las Vegas by men who wanted to kill her father.

A rolling gun battle through a crowded neighborhood near Decatur and Sahara in August saw three people shot, one fatally."


And then the Las Vegas Sun reported the following:

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/nov/12/empty-houses-budding-business/#axzz2V1A2TbhL

"It’s a high-stakes business that can lead to other crimes, including robberies and killings. Metro reported eight homicides last year connected to competing criminal cells that operate grow houses — including one killing at a grow house."


So, none of these murders, none, are related in any way whatsoever to medical marijuana patients growing their own meds under legal limits. It's ALL shit that has nothing to do with us and somebody needs to call leo out on smearing us with this crap. Fucking testifying that we're causing murders to occur is reefer madness, lying to the legislature, self serving, propaganda, bullshit in my book. Shame on leo again.... I wish they'd make these shits testify under oath when they're trying to deprive us of our civil rights.
I've got to write another e-mail to Tick. grrrrrrrrrr

Yeah, the truth doesn't sound as sexy a blatant lie does does it? As long as metro is happy is apparently all that's needed.
