As I understand the legislation, it will NOT be legal to sell, only to possess small amounts. Five grams is like what? One spliff or three skinny
joints? So where do they suppose it will come from? Same situation as in the Netherlands, Vandenberg? Not really "Legal", just tolerated as long as
discreet?
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

I love hypocrites. Light up a legal cigarette and the world howls about secondary smoke killing them. Light up a marijuana doobie and everybody fights
to be first in line to take a couple hits. Oh yeah, they need a new tax in CA as they've just about talked everybody out of buying regular cigarettes
and cigars.

Sounds like a plan, Pam. I've got the excellent Dutch strain, we use it here in Oregon for medicinal purposes!

That is actually the dirty and sad little secret about this. If Nixon hadn't wanted to send a message to the anti-war folk, we wouldn't be in this
hypocritical situation today.

Remember "Operation Intercept?" Google it if you don't. It was one of Nixons biggest blunders with drug interdiction and US/Mex relations. What a
nightmare.

Nixon? Blaming Nixon for the current drug law fiasco is a stretch. We've had several US administrations in the nearly 40 yrs. since his time. They
all had the opportunity to change the laws, yet didn't. Maybe the current administration will?

back in about '71 a buddy of mine and i tried getting across the border at tj..nixon had hired snitches and they were on patrol at the border catching
anyone with long hair past their collar and turning them back...my amigo had put on a wig to hide his hair but the snitch caught it and we were sent
back...we went to the variety store right there on the u.s. side of the border, bought a pair of scissors and cut his hair off in their
restroom...walked right back to the same booth with our bedrolls and strolled across..the "nixon" snitch could only watch
dyslexia is never having to say you\'re yrros.

Cypress- Here's why I blame Nixon. Recall that until 1937, marijuana and cocaine were not illegal. But it was Nixon's sponsorship of the Controlled
Substance Act of 1970 that put marijuana in schedule 1, which deems it to have absolutely no medicinal efficacy. In other words, it is in a class with
the worst substances, and thus qualifies for the harshest of penalties.
As for decriminalizing or legalizing, it has taken quite awhile to soften the stigma of its schedule one status. Most recent surveys show that almost
half of Americans now believe it should be decriminalized. That's quite a step up from just a few years ago. However, the fact is that until such
support becomes a majority, politicians see the idea as a third rail with respect to "values voters".

Bajahowold, You're welcome to blame anyone you want for the current marijuani laws.  Fact is, 40 yrs. is 40 yrs. There's been a multitude of politicians that have been in the position to change the laws. They haven't. So
we're supposed to blame Nixon?

Bajahowodd,
Sorry, but the war against maryjane started much earlier than the Nixon years. I still remember the movie "Reefer Madness" which was shown in an
auditorium at my Junior high school in the fifties.
