So how do we go about legalizing in California?

[TDale313]

I wonder if we got it on the ballot again if it would pass this time. Talking recreational use, not just medical. Seems like the time is right.

1. I think it would pass this time.

People are seeing that it's not a big deal. Nothing terrible happened.

2. It should pass this time

I still think some funny business was pulled the last time it was on the ballot in 2010.

4. The proposed law was more restrictive...

Than many county medical rules at the time. In terms of garden size, number of plants etc.

We need a better bill written this time. I understand there is one in the works for 2016.

6. If you want some takeaways from Oregon's and Washington's experience

Both successful ballot measures were presented in a very respectable, businesslike way. Measure 91 was "smarter approach Oregon".

California has had problems similar to the ones Oregon's previous measure suffered from- competing measures at cross purposes, uninvolved if not actively hostile stakeholders, like some groups of growers, etc.

I think if smart people get on it in CA and make sure everyone is working together, this time it is a fairly done deal.

seeing patients for anything else. Your MS Dr. never needs to know.
