Just wondering CC,
Do you buy alcohol?
clothing?
gasoline?
automobiles?
Or any other Taxed or Regulated products?
Or are you also really against them all, each and every one?
I asked you this before in the same thread but no answer from you yet......

I am against the tax structure set up in California and am against any bill that raises taxes on Californians. Alcohol, overtaxed. Gasoline, overtaxed. Automobiles, overtaxed. Taxes and regulations, too many and getting worse. So yes, I am against all these taxes, not the products. Our tax system is set up to take wealth from the worker and transfer it to the corporate owners. Land is the only thing a "free market" needs to tax to level the playing field for all participants in the system.
Do you only get a bottle of whiskey or a case of beer to possess for personal consumption? Why only an ounce under 19?
"If all you care is about profits for growers, then vote NO, and screw Cannabis ever being normalized, money is much more important."
Who are these growers and where will the profits go? Mom and pop's profits will still be made, only now by big business with a government tax of approval. These profits will now leave many "greedy" growers in poverty and will no longer stay in the community of the "greedy" growers. Corporations with big budgets for lobbying will help pass legislation in the various municipalities that are prohibitive to small cannabis growers.
Money is more important than legalization, at least to the government you are asking to stop oppressing you.
The reason I ever responded to this post originally is that someone postulated that the only reason someone on this board could be against 19 is that they are "greedy" growers that are working with leo to have fellow cannabis users thrown in jail to make more money. I disagree on several points but they have all been thoroughly debunked.
1. This law is too restrictive.
Debunked- It is better than nothing.
2. This law will transfer wealth from California workers to corporate scum.
Debunked- That what happens. Adapt.
3. The law is so vague nobody really knows what will happen.
Debunked- "I see it as the new Disneyland for stoners. Imagine ..."
I am a no voter, meaning I don't support the fascists by showing up at the polls so their schemes can be validated by the majority of the indoctrinated voters. It is possible that there are other valid viewpoints besides let's jump in bed with the people currently oppressing us. Calling the growers "greedy" because they have been successful at overgrowing the government the last 50 years is childish to say the least.
It appears that most on this thread cannot even comprehend other points of view without bias, bigotry, and attacks against the other side for having a different opinion. Most posters in the "yes" category are acting quite possessed with the political spirit of "morality" and being "right" on their side. Scary what people will do when they "know" they are "right" and state sponsored programming takes over to fill their "moral" void.
Calling the people that are fueling this movement greedy because of concerns too complex for the twenty something year old stoners to comprehend is a political move to garner support for a shitty law.
