Prop 19 - Legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana in california

Penalties have no bearing on law or precedent. They are merely the end result of bureaucratic implementation.

Okay, but like I said before, its a FEDERAL crime to possess a controlled substance (marjiuana is Schedule I). Federal law trumps state slaw. So unless legislation is passed on a federal level, marijuana would still be illegal.

Yes, yes it is. But if you'd read what I wrote, I think you'll find that I was proposing ideas and solutions so that it might be legal through certain restrictions/loopholes etc.

yeah, decriminalization. Its what Amsterdam did.

But decriminalization != legalization

decriminalization is better than nothing

Here is the latest trend, I read this on an article. Legally-sanctioned cannabis sounded like a fantasy just a few years back. Now, legislators are looking into ways to tax the coveted weed, on both federal and state levels.

i never understood how hardcore marijuana addicts feel compelled to sign up for obscure forums to post their stoner propaganda

They do it because they love weed and doesn't afraid of anything. The man doesn't like it. Anyone else think this be like it do?
