DNC; Democrats Pass MJ LEGALIZATION Plank

They did it!!! The largest state political party in the country, the California Democratic Party, passed the plank calling for the legalization, regulation and taxation of marijuana like alcohol or tobacco. Calling for it to be regulated like tobacco is especially bold considering that the age for tobacco use is 18 - although I have a hunch no one ever thought it and frankly neither did I till today. With the passage of the mj legalization is seems ever so appropriate that we had our presence there as a member of the First Ring of the Chairman's Circle with our exhibit booth, virtual banner

Its not going to be on the vote in 14'. They want time to collect enough funds and then put it on the 16' ballot.

A brief report from Lanny Swerdlow of the Brownie Mary Democratic Club from the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, CA this week-end. 3/7-9/14.

Is this all that ? few things to consider
1- does this then not allow for the Federal Gov. to not take it off the no medical use list?
2- commonly called a sin tax are you going to be competing with the Gov. if you grow and give to others envying them their tax revenue
3- What is the competition between investment in medical and the most powerful strains?
4- Are we going to get processed plant Mat'l called 100 mg of what ever part of the plant that was decarboxliated?
5- What are going to be the employment and impaired laws going to be?
6 if a "expense-ary" sells a product and the driver is called impaired by what standards do they measure what are the insurance implications? for both parties?
7- If it is left up to state legislatures that are scrambling to cover underfunded and undisclosed pension obligations. It there going to be a tax on your garden if medically needed ?
8- making "LEGAL" entails a whole bunch of new legislative action since the Federal Gov. is a hands off approach then left up to the states. 50+ different policies going into place from each state all clamoring to enrich their coffers.

I REALLY THINK THE AIM SHOULD BE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT TO CHANGE IT'S CLARIFICATION OF MARIJUANIA!

THIS IS GOING TO BE A QUAGMIRE DE WE REALLY WANT LEGLIZATION OR DECRIMLIZATION BECAREFUL HERE IT CAN GO SO MANY WAYS

I have done Army Corps of Engineers jobs as a contractor for the last 23 years. One thing people don't understand the Government pays a all costs
1-design
2-contract out
3-oversee
4- enforce humanitarian bid considerations
5-quantification of bid or project
6-insure all aspects of a project no matter what direction it will go

ALL OF THIS FOR GROWING A PLANT IN YOUR YARD IS THAT DEMOCRATIC OR RIGHT BE VERY CAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU WISH FOR YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!

I know this is old news now, but I am happy to see the Democrats are starting to open their eyes a little bit! I don't say it often about a politician, but I actually like Gavin Newsom. He has progressive ideas and I see him as a true leader. As a Canadian watching our brothers and sisters fighting worldwide, I feel like California will be the tipping point. Once 38 million people speak, the world will know Cannabis prohibition is dead. I don't think the older people really believe this is the end of prohibition. The younger generations understand it is only a matter of time. Come on Cali , free up the weed!
