California to Legalize Weed for Everyone
    #8584281 - 07/01/08 02:42 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

"There is an initiative in the works that could end up on the November ballot that allows for marijuana to be sold to anyone, and anywhere that already sells alcohol. Its being called The Inalienable Rights Enforcement Initiative. From the full text of the measure:

This initiative will amend the Constitution of California to defend and safeguard the inalienable rights of the People against infringement by governments and corporations, providing for the lawful growth, sale, and possession of marijuana. Marijuana will be taxed through a system of stamps and licenses--a $5 stamp will be required for the sale of an eighth ounce of marijuana and a $50 annual license will be required for the growth of one marijuana plant. To protect participants and encourage participation in the system, such licenses and stamps will be available anonymously in stores where marijuana is sold.

They need 694,354 signatures by September, 5, 2008. I think it's totally do-able. Its been over a decade since Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, was passed with over 5 million votes in favor."

(I also posted this in the news section but I figure it will probably get better discussion here)

I wonder if that counts internet signatures.. Its doable but its a pretty good amount signatures to have hand signed in under 3 months time. Sounds good to me though. Nobody would ever follow the rules and just grow their own. It doesn't make sense to tax it if you are growing it yourself. You don't have to tax yourself when you grow tobacco or brew beer.

I'm from California, where do I sign up :shrug:

Usually these sorts of initiatives have people at the supermarket, and I haven't seen anyone there for any initiative.

Another nice step in the right direction. What we really need though is the fucking federal law changed.

It's a $5 an eighth luxury/excise tax, like they have on cigarettes (which is on top of the regular sales tax of ~7.5%).

riiight. Then I'd just pay to grow prolly.

Like anyone is going to pay.

The punishment for untaxed marijuana prolly won't even be as bad as the status of illegal marijuana right now. :tongue:
