^ You live there dude....What do you think will personally happen?
And also keep us posted, i only find stuff out from what i read
I'm not sure what will happen. As of recently we have had a lot of "information" go mainstream that was untrue that has been scaring people. A lot of users (not growers) believe that they cannot grow their own marijuana unless you get the license, which you can only at maximum grow in an area of 25 sq ft. The truth is, if these people where sober when they read the bill, would find that anyone can possess up to an ounce and grow up to 25 sq ft of marijuana without a license, and if they wish to grow more or sell it, they need to get a license which will set you back 3 large plus a renewal of $1,000 every year. Also another piece of incorrect information is that prop 19 does not regulate marijuana like it does alcohol even though they should be treated the same. They argue this because of my first point, they believe that you cannot grow ANY marijuana on your own without the license, but argue that you can make your own alcohol. Truth be told, you cannot distill alcohol without a license either for numerous reasons, including safety and to reduce the number of small operations sales for alcohol, because well, the state is trying to regulate alcohol (OMG thats a shocker!!!). The other big issue that has gotten tangled up is that some are claiming that prop 19 says nothing about medical marijuana users and that the bill completely fucks them over. While the bill doesn't speak much of ol' AB 420, prop 19 does say that all laws and regulations involving medical cannabis are left unaffected and all the laws for medical patients wills till apply. The only real thing that will change for them is how their dispensaries do business.
The only real huge issue with the proposition is the fact that it states nothing about revenue allocations to the state, and some will argue that the state can throw that money anywhere they want. Now while I highly agree with that being changed, there are a lot of people changing their minds because they want the majority of the revenue from legalizing marijuana to go to schools and communities and some other things that are left up to debate. The whole issue as to our state not spending its money wisely is a whole other issue in itself and should not be reflected on prop 19 by any means.
Its not that people don't support legalization, they just are loosing faith in the proposition. Mostly because the information they are getting from it is either outdated from when it was an assembly bill, which back then was completely full of flaws, the same flaws people are complaining about the proposition having which they fixed when it went to the voting ballots, or they are giving into the opposing sides propaganda, which is always a given, its just with the propaganda using outdated or false information, it really sends the wrong messages and just shows that the battle on the opposing side just have a very biased agenda that does not reflect society whatsoever.
I don't know about $8 per gram...its going to have a shitload of taxes if legalized plus you have the other costs the selling companies will pass on (marketing, etc). I am guessing a pack will cost more than cigs--just because they can charge more for it
Around here a dime goes for $10, with supply and demand and the abundance of marijuana that would be in circulation would drive the prices to an estimated 3-4 dollars before taxes which would be around 6-7 dollars per gram if you calculate the $50 per once tax plus standard tax.
