ppl think im negative when im not. I figure if it Can be Googled, their is no reason to tap into your 3rd shakra and meditate over such simple answers. you can only say NO to non-winners so many ways. so why not mix it up with some humor.

I'm glad the site is filled with lawyers handing out legal advice for free... I feel like a kid in a candy store....

Since when do jails determine sentences or releases? They don't. A judge does, making your claim about prisons making money rather weak. In fact, MANY states are reviewing current sentences and are clearing out non violent criminals because of the taxing cost to the states to operate them. Florida alone is closing 6 state prisons because of budget issues....

I'm sure someone in jail for an offense that was since legalized stands a fair shake at getting out much earlier. That is my unprofessional, common sense opinion.

DC did not legalize pot, they made MMJ legal, big difference. He may not be exactly right, but odds are they are not letting you out if you have already been convicted, jails are a business also. Unless you happen to be an extremely high profile case in your arrest and trail, the odds of getting anytime on amnesty is highly unlikey.

man i use google to research, but there are so many conflicting answers i find on there. i was hoping that because this site is all about marijauna, i might find someone who could actually point me in the right direction. hey dude i agree, humor is good for the soul! if youre not laughing, youre not living!

hey serapis,

when using your common sense that does make sense, i would agree. i hear about people getting of prison just because there are too many people in it!
i know people will say stuff acting like they are legal lawyers and they have a great knowledge of the law, but im looking for the person who might actually be able to back
up what they say with actually factual information. i wont just follow blindly, thats why im not religious hahaha
no offense to those of you who are!!

Ex Post Facto is exactly the legal concept illustrated here homey. Ex Post Facto = after the fact. In Texas Law anyways...

if there are so many dispensaries opening up around you, why dont you stroll down to a few of them and talk to the owners , hear about their "hopes and fears" lol.

sounds like an awful lot of competition too.

sorry for not correctly wording that, you are very much right. dc did not legalize pot, they did in fact only legalize mmj
you knew what i meant though haha

The change in law made by this Act applies only
to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act.
An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is
covered by the law in effect when the offense was committed, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of
this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of
this Act if any element of the offense was committed before that
date.

Texas Legislature, tough guy. ;)

straight from the Med MJ Act passed in '09. IN TEXAS!
you don't have to be a lawyer to know the law. Reading comprehension will suffice.

Are there dispensaries in DC yet? I cannot imagine the DEA allowing that, regardless of the DC law. lol I would love to see a MMJ dispensary right in front of the congressional building. I'll bet it would always be sold out of the better strains.. ;)
It would actually make the area look better I think. D.C. is one of the biggest slums I have ever seen. You can literally walk two blocks from the white house and cop some crack off the guy working the corner.

Ask any lawyer smart guy about ex Post Facto.... it can work both ways, as I'm sure you know, but refuse to acknowledge here in an attempt to stave off embarrassment. Ex Post Facto is sometimes referred to as Amnesty law as well.... Do you know what amnesty is? I'll give you a few minutes to Google it and get back to me....

MMJ or Growing it is not Taboo to me, nor to anyone I personally know. Everyone here grows, and smokes. I, Like a big boy went to my city hall with an apt, and spoke with a lady for an hour regarding the LAWs of what I can do, and Cannot. Where I can, and where I cannot. How much, and how much I cannot.
