don't believe what they say,prop 19 will restrict the rights we currently have in ca

http://www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov/pdf/english/text-proposed-laws.pdf
As am MM user, I originally thought that this so called legalization would be a step forward even if there was competition from corporate growers. I have since changed my mind. Note the name of this bill:
The Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010
Cannabis is currently legal in ca and it is not hard to get it ( here in LA county) for stress related medical use.
However, after reading the actual bill in my election guide and realizing it will tax & restrict my rights as a medical user, I am no longer fooled by the misinformation. Here is link that explains it by an attorney.

Prop 19 would restrict and tax the rights of current medical users contrary to what proponents are saying. Read the law yourself, but don’t get the intent section mixed up with the actual law. My alarm went off when I realized the language referring to current law “except as permitted under Sections 11362.5 and 11362.7 through 11362.9 of the Health and Safety Code”, is only in the preliminary section and suspiciously missing from the actual law. Decide for yourself if your willing to give up your rights. I'm not.

i have constantly tried to get this point across to many people and have been banned from some forums because i was simply explaining a point of view and they considered it trolling. anyway people dont listen and they dont care they just are happy to enjoy life ignorant and oblivious to the obvious things that the government will do to this plant if they legally gain control of it.

That was a very good read.
Thanks for that!

i think marijuana should be legal for everyone. Granted some MM users are lagit but ive seen it on tv many of times how easy it is to get a card. the small MM group has it absolutly made and they dont want it to end. the way i look at it is that you all are pawns in a much larger picture.
