Not passing medicinal is so sad in FL. Scary how that generation was brainwashed into fearing the weed while the Feds own a patent on cannabinoids specifically for neuroprotectants.
^^^^smoke signals ftw - watch the culture high on iTunes
That is all well and good, states should be able to sort out their own issues where this is related just as dry towns in the S have for eighty years. Feel bad for all the southern WA rec shops now -Quote:

I may have to start a separate thread down the road, but I am curious what a commercial grow op costs to get up and running in WA, CO and now OR. Are the operators setting up in areas zone agricultural, so they can do out door growing in the summer or is the good stuff mostly grown indoors under lights in commercially zoned areas.
I really need to get a handle on how this is all working, as I want to do this when CA passes legalized weed in 2016. Anyone able to point me in the right direction for what to read, how to get prepared to pass the bs requirements guberment imposes and what organizations to join etc. I have access to capital and want to grow and have a retail shop for sales. PM me. Thanks
What a day! Even Guam went medical, some details below. Nice to see OR leave medical alone, patients shouldn't have to pay the same rate as yahoos like me. NORML's writeup is fairly good, shows how widespread and consistent the vote was.

State, Local Marijuana Legalization Measures Win Big On Election Day
Under the new Oregon proposal (Measure 91), adults who engage in the non-commercial cultivation of limited amounts of cannabis for personal use (up to four marijuana plants and eight ounces of usable marijuana at a given time) will not be subject to taxation or commercial regulations. Imposition of the new law will not “amend or affect in any way the function, duties, and powers of the Oregon Health Authority under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.”
Under the Alaska measure (Ballot Measure 2), the adult possession of up to one ounce of cannabis as well as the cultivation of up to six-plants for personal consumption will be legal and untaxed. Commercial production and retail sales of cannabis will be subject to licensing and taxation. Since 1975, Alaskans have enjoyed personal privacy protections allowing for the possession and cultivation of small quantities of cannabis. However, state law has never before permitted a legal market for marijuana production and sales.
Some 55 percent of Oregon voters backed Measure 91 while 52 percent of Alaskans endorsed Measure 2.
In California, nearly 60 percent of voters backed Proposition 47, which defelonizes simple drug possession crimes, such as the possession of hashish. Under the measure, Californians with felony records for certain marijuana possession offenses will also be eligible to have their records expunged. Those serving time for felony drug offenses will also be able to petition for resentencing.
In the US territory Guam , 56 percent of voters decided in favor of Proposal 14A, the Compassionate Cannabis Use Act. The new law directs “the Department of Public Health and Social Services to regulate the use of marijuana as treatment for medical conditions.” The Department has up to nine months to provide rules for the territory’s medical marijuana program. [...]
In Washington, DC, some 70 percent of District voters approved Initiative 71, which removes criminal and civil penalties regarding the adult possession of up to two ounces of cannabis and/or the cultivation of up to six plants. Adults who engage in not-for-profit transactions of small quantities of cannabis or who possess marijuana-related paraphernalia are also no longer be subject to penalty under this act.
(DC already held a hearing on setting up retail sales: http://www.thedailychronic.net/2014/...rijuana-sales/)
Voters in several Michigan cities, including Saginaw (population 51,000), Port Huron (30,000), and Berkley (15,000) also decided in favor of local ballot measures depenalizing offenses involving the adult possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. Michigan lawmakers are anticipated to debate a statewide decriminalization proposal in 2015.
Likewise, voters in South Portland, Maine approved a municipal ordinance eliminating local penalties in regard to the adult possession of up to one ounce of cannabis. Voters in Lewiston, Maine rejected a similar measure.
In New Mexico, voters in Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties decided in favor of advisory questions in support of the decriminalization of one ounce or less of marijuana at a city, county and state level. Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties represent a third of the state’s population.
Finally, in Massachusetts, voters in several state representative districts voted in favor of various nonbinding public policy questions calling on state officials to legalize and regulate cannabis-related commerce.
Don't you think the medicinal retailers have a jump start on that? In Maine, for the medicinal, there was an application that specifically weeded out a lot of people. There were many out of state and relatively large corporations vying for that business apparently.Quote:

They screamed while sipping on their Bud Light. I felt really sorry for the owners - they did everything to get it going and make it secure and private but nooooooooooooooooooooo! Then 4 months later the city reverses itself (again) and says okay to retail stores. Wonder if they will let the grow operation start up after all. Idiots.Quote:

How do you figure, most came of age in the 60s and were full on swinging in the 70s not to mention the Vietnam war era. Baby Boomers span 1946 - 1964. My thinking is you need to get rid of the stodgy old east coast guard. That said, part of the problem in Florida was that legalizing medical MJ required amending the state constitution which meant they needed a 60% vote to pass - they only got 57%. Close but no spliff.Quote:

"What we've seen is that the more people hear details about legalization, whether it is details of specific laws or details of experiences in Colorado or Washington, they are turned off from legalization," said Kevin Sabet, director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida.
"Legalization in theory, it seems, fares much better than legalization in practice," he said. "We're so far from national legalization at this point, and the recent and sudden success of legalization advocates two years ago has started a counter movement. This discussion is far from over."
