OK DEMS: Marijuana reforms enjoyed far more success than you. Please try to learn from this, if you actually do wish to WIN.
State, Local Marijuana Legalization Measures Win Big On Election Day
Voters in two states decided in favor of a pair of statewide measures to regulate the commercial production, retail sale, and personal use of marijuana by adults. Alaska and Oregon are the third and fourth states to impose regulations on the licensed production and sale of cannabis, joining Colorado and Washington. All four states have enacted their marijuana legalization laws via voter initiative.
Pretty simple story here.
Americans have DEMANDED marijuana law reform for 40 goddamned years. Now we are relegalizing it state by state because AMERICANS DEMAND MARIJUANA LAW REFORM.
Dems haven't done jack shit to take advantage of this, which is ridiculous and inexcusable, particularly since politicians and politics is defined by taking advantage of people.
What massive fail.
Under the new Oregon proposal (Measure 91), adults who engage in the non-commercial cultivation of limited amounts of cannabis for personal use (up to four marijuana plants and eight ounces of usable marijuana at a given time) will not be subject to taxation or commercial regulations. Imposition of the new law will not “amend or affect in any way the function, duties, and powers of the Oregon Health Authority under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.”
Under the Alaska measure (Ballot Measure 2), the adult possession of up to one ounce of cannabis as well as the cultivation of up to six-plants for personal consumption will be legal and untaxed. Commercial production and retail sales of cannabis would be subject to licensing and taxation. Since 1975, Alaskans have enjoyed personal privacy protections allowing for the possession and cultivation of small quantities of cannabis. However, state law has never before permitted a legal market for marijuana production and sales.
California passed legislation that will 'defelonize' drug possess and allow people with your basic needless pot violations to have their records expunged. People in prison would be allowed to ask for resentencing. Unsure why they should have to ask, but its far better than having republicans win everything.
And Guam -GUAM - legalized the Herb too.
What is so fucking difficult about this, Democrats? Don't you see this pattern emerging as you LOSE and marijuana reforms WIN?
Why in the hell are you not sucking up this cause and running with it?
What is wrong with you?
