Cannabis legislation / legalization

[noprophet]

There should only be two laws.

1. Do not harm anyone else
2. Do as you say you'll do

As best I understand, this is common law. 1) I shall not harm 2) Anything I am contract to I am bound.

The issues come in with the modification of #2 and the contractual-ization of individuals into trade laws through representing "citizen-ship".

Here is the website you want to look at it has an absolute wealth of legal information & how to get around the statute.

To hell with the presidential election. Like it really matters.

This was a vote that mattered.

And I'm proud to say it's the only vote I cast.

They don't call me the Hip Hipnotist for nothin'.

( Yeah, I know. It's Hypnotist, not Hipnotist. But I was celebrating the recreational marijuana law waaaay before it passed ;-))

Holy fu**ing s**t, screw the fake election, praise Odin the common sense is catching on!!!!!!!! Superb!!!!

It will be interesting to see the federal government's reaction to this... hopefully there isn't one...

Washington state also passed it's legalization of marijuana. (YES) Now we shall see what the feds are going to do.

We also passed the marriage equality vote.

Some sense of relief for many of us. Don't want to start rejoicing yet.

I am proud of Colorado. I did not realize they were going after industrial hemp as well, and that is just awesome. I hope every field in Eastern Colorado (flat as Kansas, for those that don't know) is planted in hemp/cannabis. Cannabis seeds! ("hemp hearts and omega 3 and 6 rich oil.) Hemp paper! Hemp cloth! Hempcrete! Once this takes off, the REAL green revolution will have begun.

Hello Everyone:
Not trying to change threads here but there was more good news north of the border today regarding Hemp.
"The preliminary estimate for this year's hemp crop is 8,000 hectares."
Or
8000 Hectares = 19768.4304800 Acres

Here is the link:

Hemp is gaining ground in North America as surely it should since it's got so many great attributes.

Massachusetts also voted by a dominant margin (63%) to legalize medical marijuana bringing the total number of medical cannabis states to 18.

I have been given the task of managing the expansion of the hemp industry in the southern hemisphere to 300,000 hectares (750,000 acres) within 5 to 7 years.

Legalizing industrial hemp is a biggie, I find it hard to believe the guv and the oil industry will not make some noises about that.

The noises will be loud: gunfire, small explosions, breaking down doors and lots of whining from the feds who ARE losing their grip on the states.

In the end, the will of the people will prevail.

Another step in the right direction. Well done, Colorado!

Now, fingers crossed Bangkok follows suit Unlikely, I know, but I can always dream

Wow! I was not expecting this kind of news!

That´s really great for you guys. I hope all other states follow this great example.

Brazil already has a similar project, which I hope to be approved soon.

If any of you guys is a farmer, I advise to start preparing for cultivating industrial hemp. It will become a huge market soon. It´s a nice opportunity to earn a lot of money.

MJ / Hemp the Creator's gift that keeps on giving without boundaries. As Johnny Appleseed did with the apple let us do so with this fruit, in a subtle way and peacefully.

It was about time. I hope other states catch up with it as well as other countries. It's time to get real.

Even if one doesn't partake with this plant, it really is remarkable and a progressive idea that has been a long time coming. A small win for individual freedom. There may be hope yet for America.

[humanalien]

There is a fallback to this new law though. Even though
these states have legalized pot, it is still illegal by
federal laws.

I bet there will be a lot of federal activity in those states
where federal officers will be breaking down doors of private
residents and busting them for for having an ounce or less
of pot in their homes.

To me this seems to be proof that the country is changing from the bottom up..

Yes a lot of people fell for the left right trap again this year, and we re-elected a man that was ruining our country over a man that would ruin our country; but small steps like this are how the path back to freedom start.

It has been said earlier in this thread that the question of federal reaction is pending; if you are in either of these states I would not participate in anything large scale as certainly the DEA will attempt to assert & "earn" it's budget regardless of the state laws (as we have seen with medical dispensaries).

if the govoners of either state have the fortitude we may see some state/fed battles in a year or so.
