WA doesn't allow homegrow for most people. 'legalization' without the right to homegrow shouldn't be called legalization. They should coin another term such as 'limited permitted use' to avoid confusion.

Some states DO allow people to grow their own cannabis without any licenses or medical papers or other bullshit. Hopefully, with enough effort, RegulateFlorida.com can get FL added to that list.

I don't disagree... dealers are very comfortable breaking laws and I don't think they'll bat an eye at the limits on plants or possession. Also, for all you dealers out there that are worried about legalization cutting into your profits, fear not. The black market is alive and well in the states that are fully legal. Shops are expensive due to taxes, and most people can barely make a bowl of cereal without fucking it up let alone grow some dank buds. I'm sure ICMAG knows firsthand, it's not as easy as it looks. The majority of people would be put off by the effort, or try it once, fail, and just go get a bag from the same guy they always have.

Correct.. it's not right to tell people that something is 'legal' but they can't grow it on their own. To be honest, I don't know that I would even trust cannabis from a profit-driven company, or even worse the government. After processing and adding their own preservatives, something tells me a pack of joints would be just as bad for you as a pack of cigarettes. Some people even say tobacco wasn't nearly as carcinogenic before Phillip Morris got his hands on it.

Coffee shops are only allowed to sell soft drugs and not more than five grams of cannabis per person per day. Coffee shops are governed by strict laws that control the amount of permitted soft drugs, and the conditions in which it is sold and used. Coffee shops are not allowed to advertise drugs. Persons under the age of 18 are prohibited from buying drugs and are barred access to coffee shops."

"Basically, the legalization of marijuana means you can't be arrested, ticketed, or convicted for using marijuana, if you follow the state laws as to age, place, and amount for consumption. However, you can still get arrested for selling or trafficking marijuana if you aren’t following state laws on licensure and taxation."

Why I prefer not to buy from dispensaries....(ok twice in 2+ yrs.)

But awesome to GYO!!

However, world wide attitudes are changing, "policies" are changing. Taxed/decriminalized...the movement continues. VOTE! Be an advocate.

Our ballot initiative in AZ allows for homegrowing.
