Anybody think it has a chance? We need to collect 312,000 signatures. That's a lot of signatures but anything is possible.
ok dude your like 14...even if it was legal you probably couldnt get it untill your 21 years old...like 5 years
It ain't about your age, it's about legalizing it. State after state will see the truth and Mary Jane will run free again! Peace out!
I think it's doomed, because it goes too far too soon. It legalizes sales, in a way no other state (or country) has done. And, regardless of the will of the people, it wouldn't change federal laws. If your in jail because of federal law instead of state law, your still in jail.
I don't see why you are talking about age 40oz, just the basic fact that it would be legal is the important part. Although I strongly agree ranger, they trying to jump the gun on legalization. Baby steps are the key. Start out by making small amounts only punishable by a fine, like many states already have. After this has gained wide acceptance, move on to lower punishments for growing, then selling. Then move on top legalizing small amounts. But I disagree about something else. If Marijuana was legalized on a statewide basis, state police would not enforce federal law. Only federal organizations, such as the DEA and FBI could get involved. While there is no doubt the DE(vil)A would still go after large scale growers/movers, personal growers, small time dealers, and personal users would all but be left alone. After many states adopt this philosophy, and prove that Marijuana legalization won't cause the downfall of civilization as everyone thinks, the governmental BS will be believed by less and less people. The government has the general population on its side regarding Marijuana now because they are kept ignorant and lied to. Once people wake up there is no way the government would keep it illegal. While I doubt they would go immediately into legal growing, selling, etc it's very likely legislation would be passed that severely downgrades punishments for Marijuana. This combined with statewide legalization would mean an end to most people getting in trouble for marijuana. While this all sounds very optimistic, understand I'm suggesting not that this is going to definitely happen, but IF marijuana legalization will come about that's the probable course. And if it does happen, will probably take 40-50 years.
You mean my state might actually do something right? Impossible! Haha, sorry, the MI government is fucked. Anyways, ranger is right, it goes too far and won't pass. I still think it's a good step, to at least be introducing such legislation. Though if they wanted something to actually pass they shouldn't have asked for so much.
He has 6 yrs to wait math wiz. And ciggerretes/alcahol is illegal to be possesed or bought by anyone under 21 (18 yrs of age here), but kids still get em.
Wow maybe there is something to be said for kids not smoking weed until their brains are developed. Let me help you out here with some simple math. 14 + X = 21 X = 21-14 X = 7
lol i said 5 years? damn i was fucket up last night...anyways no shit im 15 im just saying its nothing to get excited about when your 14 years old...mabye will be easier to get it but its still illegal...so when your 21 THEN you can be jumping up and down
