@metaZen Don’t hitch your personal anti-corporate agenda to cannabis legalization. A corporation provides the internet service that let you post that message, so it’s a little two faced to argue against their existence online. Many cannabis dispensaries are non-profit corporations. Once metazen gets rid of his car, bank account, phone, credit cards, utilities, grow stores, etc., send me a post card about how great life is without corporations. I just want legal cannabis, so I voted Yes on 19.

@ChrisConradHemp I am NOT talking about personal use tax. I am talking about “recovering the tricombs” which takes large amounts of cannabis. A tax for “dealer” amounts would be the amount needed for personal cancer treatment.Also revamping capitalism is not the issue. The issue is monopoly as Henry Georgists and Binary economists understand. In hard economic times RENT goes up and wages and interest goes DOWN showing that it is monopoly and not capital that is the evil here.

Should the rights of dealers outweigh the rights of consumers not be criminalized or pay inflated prices? I don’t think people should be subject to arrest or fines or be subjected to discrimination or stigma in society to keep dealers afloat. Dealers could go legit, if they want to maintain their livelihoods. Get permitted. Pay taxes like the rest of us. Full repeal sounds great, but is not feasible politically. Prop. 19 will start to end of prohibition. Everyone will benefit if it passes.

Much needed clarification at this critical time! Thank you Chris Conrad for your many long years of amazing work for the entire cannabis community! Bless you, One Love! ♥
Let’s win this one people. This is the front lines. People have been working decades on this. Now’s the time for us all to push together. They’re going to push back. We can do this if we all work in unison, forget about all our differences and self interests (i.e. dispensaries opposing). Cannabis is about making a better world!

Well said (as always) Chris! I was most pleased to see our Gubernator sign rather than veto SB 1449. A small step toward redemption for vetoing the agricultural hemp bill, eh?

1 month away! Nice ponytail!

The larger reality is that Cannabis is not dangerous and should not be treated as if people are growing Plutonium in their basements. The cities love Prop19 mainly because they hope it will put money into their underfunded pension programs at the expense of the dumb stoners the they hope vote for Prop19. My advice: Vote No and work on MERP and CCHH. That will end it for good and Chris will make no more money providing affirmative defense after they have been robbed of their crops,

We don’t agree that MMJ patients are protected. In fact when it comes to growing MJ patients will lose their rights in favor of big business because cities will be able to impose very large taxes. Citites are already drafting regulations that will impose taxes that are so high nobody could possibly afford to pay the tax. MMJ patients are not exempt and Chris neglected to metion this. This will cause more underground growing and distribution.
