  1. Monopoly for big companies or true decriminalization for all people? Many users will oppose giving big business the control. In California, big business and its high prices drove smokers back to illegal growers.

  2. freedom is a different animal under republican controlled states. free for the ruling class but propaganda for the average citizen. the elites tell their base it's the masks the define your freedom. yeah, like that was real.

  3. It's stupid and shouldn't happen! Medical pot to ease chemo no problem but recreational use? NEVER which of course won't happen. On a forum I read a poster said that someone they knew got high and had an accident and hurt people. What did someone say? Well it was just a car accident! So driving high is "just" a car accident? I don't think family members whose member got killed by a drunk driver who drinks recreationally will say well man! My relative got killed by someone in "just" happened to be so damn drunk they couldn't see straight! Are people really that stupid about recreational pot? So it's OK for a dealer to take your kid and profit off their want to get high because they're too cowardly to deal with life straight? Problems remain once the high is gone. So it's OK for yoir kid or family member or partner to steal from you to get the money? And of course one must be really naïve to think that that dealer won't spray who knows what on it to make it stronger and poison you! Naw of course not! I knew someone years ago who was a pot head. Lived with his mom. Literally melded to his couch. Could string together 3 words he was so lit. Had no job. Who knows what he pawned of mom's to get his pot. So mom made him an ultimatum. Get a job, stop the pot and move out! He was in his 30's by the way. He did! I knew another lady who lost her kids because her husband was sick of her smoking pot. I consider myself an expert on the subject. I started out with pot. Then moved on to harder things because after a while pot no longer works. After two OD's I decided to stop ALL drugs. And booze. Been straight and sober for 25 years. My dealer wouldn't let me come with him to buy. Good thing. They all got arrested! Thanks to a coke dealer who screwed me did I stop that. And at a time now when everyone is bellyaching inflation! Inflation! You'd think you'd rather SAVE money than waste it. Life sucks! But it's crap high or straight. You can't yell about the high price of things when you waste it on drugs. You have no clue what crap they spray on it. Messes up your memory, messes with your reproductive organs. Last thing we need or high drivers along with drunk ones. You want to work next to someone so lit on pot they can't tell up or down? I wouldn't and no boss will put up with it. You coukd be poisoned and not know it recreationally, you're taken advantage of financially. But then again buying your weed is a lot more important than feeding your family and paying your bills, right? Medical pot is different. They're not like your average dealer. It eases the effect of Chemo which is rough enough. Hey but what do I know! I'm only an ex addict who started out with pot but didn't end with it.

  4. Stupid idea! Stupid stupid stupid! I knew a guy a couple decades ago who was a recreational pot smoker. He was living with his mom literally glued to the couch. He was the friend of a late friend. Gary couldn't speak a coherent sentence if you paid him he was so lit. So his mom made him an ultimatum. Stop the pot, get a job and get out of my house! He was in his late 20's. Well he finally did. Who knows about him now. Legalize pot? Wow! We've got drivers who cause accidents talking on their phones distracted, we've got drunk drivers who cause accidents saying yeah I can handle it and end up killing someone and now let's rah rah for high drivers that can hit you saying yeah I can handle it! That dealer you buy it from has no idea what crap who he buys from to sell sprays on it to make it more potent. How is it OK that someone profits off your inability to stay straight? Who do they steal or con the money from who buy it! With everyone bellyaching about inflation you really want to waste your money on drugs? And then there are those who say pot isn't good enough. Let's try something more. Been there done that now straight and sober since '97. Recreational pot? What you can't find a hobby that you can do straight and sober? You really want to get in the car with someone high on pot and hope he doesn't crash? We all know there are people who say I can handle 5 drinks and wind up getting killed in an accident or someone else. You want to be with someone in a car high on drugs who say yeah I can handle it and oops you crash! People profiting off of someone's addiction is bothersome. Not addicted to pot? Wonderful! Go a week without it! You wouldn't last a day if you're dependent!

  5. They need to add home cultivation so I can move down there from NY where we have home grow ….seems another like this bill is being set up to benefit only the established canabis companies lobbying for it and not the people of Florida….I got family down there and I would move there if I could continue to build my brand and continue my breeding projects ….but if they don't allow home grow it Really doesn't change much….

  6. Screw the government. In NY they are letting people with weed convictions get in line first for a sales license. What a crock. What about those of us that smoked and never got busted??? See it pays to get caught.

  7. It's time for us, the majority of The People to take back control of our national cannabis policy. By voting OUT of office any and all politicians who very publicly and vocally admit to having an anti-cannabis, prohibitionist agenda! Time to vote'em all OUT of office. Period. Plain and simple. Politicians who continue to demonize Cannabis, Corrupt Law Enforcement Officials who prefer to ruin peoples lives over Cannabis possession rather than solve real crimes who fund their departments toys and salaries with monies acquired through cannabis home raids, seizures and forfeitures, and so-called "Addiction Specialists" who make their income off of the judicial misfortunes of our citizens who choose cannabis, – Your actions go against The Will of The People and Your Days In Office Are Numbered! Find new careers before you don't have one.

    The People have spoken! Get on-board with Cannabis Legalization Nationwide, or be left behind and find new careers. Your choice.

  8. Cannabis consumers deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!

  9. 'Legalization' is a greedy scam. Repeal the existing laws. No regulation needed. Treat it like other harmless plants. Norml was established to repeal the laws. Now we have these goons coming in wanting to establish complex legal schemes. They make more laws not less.That's the gubmint picking winners and losers. If the current laws are dumb just repeal them.
