    Enjoying some Super Jack, rare(ish) LA rain, and a good film.

    My sweetie and our cats are chill and sleeping, and for now, all is good and calm.

    Shit, I meant to reiterate my earlier "legalize it!" comments :)

    We have medical here, but the recreational prop just failed. I just want to see the wave keep building.

    ^^^ sounds like the type of thing the ESP would say. It's unkind to silence people. The ESP is very relevant to pot law.

    i'll be getting nice and stoned this evening. i think this thread can do without your trump hate. we all hate him. but keep it in the appropriate threads.
    Don't do it HFD!
    While people are stoned is when President-elect Trump gets down to business.
    huh? i thought you were pro trump?
    I kept telling you all that he's not really a Trump fan, but nobody ever listens to me. ;)

    I don't even know what the laws are in Maryland anymore. I think we have medicinal, but I've never seen a dispensary ANYWHERE in the state. And I'm pretty sure getting a script for it is harder than buying a gun in this state (which is reeeeeeally fucking difficult if you're not a cop or armored car driver). We have decriminalized personal possession so that anything under 10 grams is just a $25 fine. However, don't be a milligram over or its possession & distribution. And last I checked, paraphernalia was still completely illegal although I think they are working on decriminalization, or maybe they have already. I don't know.
  • www.norml.org is my go to website for different state laws and yup maryland is indeed a bit messed up for cannabis enforcement.
    10grams-less than 50lbs = Misdemeanor. incarceration 1 year and a fine of $1000
    here's yer answer on medical...it's pending...
    http://norml.org/legal/item/maryland-medical-marijuana
    i was in ny state a week ago and it's a $100 fine(1st offense) if you have 25grams personal. no penalty, other than a fine.
    BUT possession in public view in ny state is a Misdemeanor. incarceration 90days and a fine of $250
    the good thing when canada goes decriminalization/legalization it won't be a different law in every province.
    9 states so far have gone legal

    @weddingparade Thanks for that info! That site looks like a pretty good resource. I noticed frequent muscle spasms was a qualifying condition on the proposal. Thats good news for me.

    ine of our employees got arrested by the Arlington TX police dept on Saturday for less than a gram. Spent the day in jail and posted $2800 bail early Sunday morning. Assholes told her that they had already talked to her employer and that she would be terminated. Guess what, we just found out this morning. Lying sacks of shit.

    I will have the opportunity as a private citizen to describe where I think we need to go. But in light of these referenda passing, including in California, I've already said...that it is untenable over the long term for the Justice Department or the DEA to be enforcing a patchwork of laws, where something that's legal in one state could get you a 20-year prison sentence in another. So this is a debate that is now ripe, much in the same way that we ended up making progress on same-sex marriage. There's something to this whole states being laboratories of democracy and an evolutionary approach. You now have about a fifth of the country where this is legal.
    Good job, captain obvious. I'm glad Barak will do as a private citizen what he didn't do as President when he could have been more effective and actually wielded influence. He probably even knew someone in authority at the DEA. But at least he chose to ignore enforcement in states that legalized. That was a baby step in the right direction. He knows the feds are behind the times and acting counter to the will of the majority of the people on this issue, but for some reason has been afraid to actually do anything. I'm glad he's shedding his fear early next year. Too little, too late.

    "Shall we legalize marijuana?"

    YES. I can't believe this is even still a discussion in 2016.

    Fuck Jeff Sessions. I'm sure the failed "war on drugs" will be ramping up again early next year. And fuck Obama at this point. He could have and still can do something about it, but chooses to wait until he's a private citizen with no authority to weigh in. Makes sense.
