Legal Recreational Marijuana

[Ramone45]

There are many ways our representative government is failing us. The people of Massachusetts voted to legalize recreational marijuana in 2016. Dispensaries are still not open. There is no excuse for this. Once the initiative was on the ballot, the powers-that-be should have worked on the contingency that it would pass and prepared to open dispensaries ASAP. Three months max. They had the template from Colorado.The role of government is to implement the people's wishes. After three month's I wish the people opened the dispensaries without paying taxes. Fuck the government. We voted for this. We gave you a chance to set up reasonable rules and you did not. What could the government do? Arrest people for something they democratically chose? That's why we have a second amendment. REASONABLE reguatiob and taxation is fine. But dragging your feet is not. Two years to open dispensaries is not reasonable.

Trump to lift legal threat to states that permit marijuana use

President Donald Trump will lift his administration’s plans for a possible crackdown on states that have legalized marijuana after talks with a Colorado senator, the White House said on Friday, an action that undercuts U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Senator Cory Gardner, Trump’s fellow Republican whose state has some of the most permissive marijuana laws in the country, had blocked Senate confirmation of Justice Department nominations to force the change.

Sessions on Jan. 4 rescinded a policy begun under Democratic former President Barack Obama that had eased enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that legalized it. In doing so, Sessions, who has taken a hard line against marijuana, gave federal prosecutors wide latitude to pursue criminal charges.

Gardner said on Friday he received a commitment from Trump that the rescission “will not impact Colorado’s legal marijuana industry.” Gardner said Trump assured him he would support legislation “to fix this states’ rights issue once and for all.”
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders confirmed the president’s action.

Democratic U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, another state with permissive marijuana laws, expressed skepticism, saying, “Trump changes his mind constantly.”

“We should hope for the best, but not take anything for granted,” Blumenauer, a founder of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, said in a statement.

Meanwhile wholesale prices of Weed are down ~40%. Mexico is shifting to poppies!

I favor outright decriminalization, not legalization, keeping transfer and transport illegal. Basically the Canadian law.

I think that is actually a good compromise and would support that.
(you know it's an old thread when Hisarpy/Wizzard426 was still calling himself "Ramone45.")

WTF are you talking about. Pot was legalised in Canada period end of story. Transfer and transport is fully legal. I can buy pot and give or sell it to any individual who is of legal age. I can grow my own pot, but I cannot sell that pot but I can take it anywhere in Canada and give it to anyone of legal age . I can only buy or sell pot that comes from a licenced producer.

That's why we have a second amendment.

That, among other reasons.

Don’t confuse desecration with facts. He’s living in Fact-free Wonderland.

I don't think I could make him any more confused than he already is.

Ramona was jonesing way back when. Hope he got his fix.

A problem breaking into states and ramping up a weed biz is that states laws/statutes are wildly disparate so it’s quite a challenge and barrier.
