What is your plan for legalization that keeps users off the federal database, inspectors out of our houses and gardens and - who pays users’ medical bills, food, rent and child care?

What is your plan for stopping the feds from getting richer and bigger collecting pot taxes, etc?

I’m still waiting for a legalization plan that doesn’t make it worse.

Well it doesn’t have to be heavily taxed if the people don’t want it to be, does it?

But now that’s a problem with everything in general, isn’t it? And the Government taxes it anyway.

How about just reducing the Government to much less power than it has over your lives now...in as many ways as possible. Do you agree with me there?

So why can this not be one of them? The government freqently uses this War on Some Drugs as an excuse to deprive you of rights and seize your assets unjustly.

That is a transgression on the very basis of our ideals.

Prime example - look at what happened to this guy in FL in the name of the WoSD.

That is merely the local authorities who have been given the power to brazenly destroy someone’s life.

Would you not argue at the very least that we should strip the FedGov of such authority immediately?

I doubt if any plan will work for you, since your mind is probably already made up (???). But as for me, I think the states can come up w/ their own plans, all 50 of them. If conservative states like Oklahoma or Utah chooses to give the death penalty for possession of a pot seed, then more power to them; & if a liberal state like the People's Republic of California chooses to legalize completely, then so be it. The people know how to govern themselves better than do the bureaucrats & czars in Washington, D.C.
