Many say legalize at any cost!
How do you feel?

That is certainly a weird 'definition' of legal.

It's legal,,,, but you can't grow it. ??????

What's legal I guess. We added a Constitutional Amendment here in Colorado.... and some of the Municipalities are writing ordinances to circumvent the State Constitution.

We'll get there eventually, I'm thinking. Either that I just won't live where there is ANY Municipal Government.

No. Not that I wouldn't buy from a dispensery that I know and trust who uses organic methods and tests for purity but other than that I'd rather have full control over the production.

I have decided that I will no longer be supporting the underground market anymore even if that means going dry. There is just to much bad Karma there, too much association with violent gangs.

Some are trying to squeeze out caregivers & extended plant counts, but they won't get past the 6/3 personal growing rule of A64. Denver is trying to make that 12/6 per household, but it likely won't hold up the first time somebody shows up in court.

There's a whole lot of rigamarole around caregivers & home rule provisions of the state constitution, but not around A64 & personal growing.

All true.

By the way. Have you heard anything negative about Park County? It'd be a dam long drive for Groceries, but certain parts of South Park might be interesting. A few acres and a GH could trip my trigger.

What I know about Park County for sure is that it's high, cold & windy, no place to spend the winter. Freezah-u-nuts-off.

Never want it legalized I like how California's laws are set out of any of the states so far. Wish my state was more like them. If you want it legal then you go get a card plain and simple. I think pure legalization will ruin the game big time and fuck people over. Another thing for big corps to take over.

legalize it, and let people do with it as they wish same as any other plant. what's the big issue?

if it were never illegalized in the first place it would be a crop just like any other. you wouldn't be getting $400 an oz/

Well, I think a lot of us already gave up our mental health dealing with this bs, I think we gave up enough.

fuck no....I will always grow my own... when I can get the quality I grow at reasonable prices I might consider it ..but I love growing so even then I doubt it...if its fully organic with no pesticides/ pgrs and is tested, and cost about 100 an ounce then someone like me might consider...but even then my cost would be 400$ a month...ok maybe 25$ an oz and I would think about it...ok the answer is FUCK NO

Soooo.... if I understand correctly, It's too much of a pain to grow your own at the current price you are paying?

How would your 'ass' feel if they doubled or tripled that amount?
Here in Colo. they imposed a 40% tax on the retail end. If you weren't allowed to grow your own. Where would they 'level' the price out at, since they would then have a captive audience. I read on IC that at some point, Weed was bringing $5000 a pound? OUCH!

Since I don't find quality of my 'homegrown' to be an issue (nor do my friends and relatives :laughing:), I find even $250 an oz too much. lol But then again, I'm a cheap bastard, I'm retired, and all the strains that I've grown to date have grown like a weed (pun intended)..... I've never even been inside a retail outlet here, nor do I have medical card, so the Dispensaries won't even let me look at their wares.

Then again; if I liked alcohol I'd make that myself too. :tiphat:

Would you give up you right to grow your own cannabis, in favor of full legalization?

Umm, wait a minute Shagg,,,If there was "full legalization", why would I have to give up my right to grow my own?

Either way,, NO...

If they made homegrown tomatoes illegal, I'd still be growing them...

No way....we grow better strains than what's offered in dispensaries having tried a few to compare. And like bombaycat, I KNOW what goes into the production of our plants.

Right on, Bud....home grown ANYTHING (fruit, veggies, herbal plants, cooking herbs and cannabis) the better way to go....and grow.

Absolutely Correct;

lol.... At $100 an oz. I'll still grow..... I just won't share so much.

It'd be grow your own or,"Go buy it".:biggrin:

It's important for the government to separate growing from smoking because then they can level a sin tax to punish an immoral activity.
To me growing and smoking are the same thing.
Smokers have never been the government's target. Growers and dealers are who they want. The idea that there is a cash economy out there outside their control, that there are people surviving without having to work a normal 9-5 job in their "real" world pisses them off.
It's important to show that there is no lifestyle possible in the world today that exists outside their consumer way. The thought that a person could survive growing and harvesting a plant without all the taxes, bullshit, and paperwork necessary to run a business in this country angers them immensely.
