Will this turn the dopeheads into card carrying anti tax conservatives? Will California have its own "special" kind of tea party?

Well, I never thought medicinal marijuana was a good idea. I think alternatives should be found; doubtless there are plenty out there.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

Wasn't there a Simpsons episode where all the dopeheads got the day wrong and didn't vote to keep medical marijuana legal?

Considering the flak supporters of medical marijuana have had to take, I wouldn't think there are plenty of alternatives that are just as good and don't involve legal conflicts.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

If Oakland's weed taxing is anything like the Raider's normal season then what could go wrong?
Oakland's City Council was also behind the move.
Who's on the City Council? Billy Bong Thorton, Wesly Pipes?

Out of interest, are medicines normally taxed stateside ?

Being from canada (my flag is wrong:() Its really interesting to see the difference in opinions on marijuana between our countries. Medicinal marijiuana should be legal everywhere. You cannot seriously say that smoking marijiuana doesn't have its advantages.
I think people should just get over this whole phobia of weed. Legalize it and tax it. Jesus. It doesn't kill you or anything.

Well you havent meet my friend david.
His fist drug he tried was weed. that led him to worse stuff. He know resorts to anything to get high.
When he was in the hospital from passing out drunk while on antidepressents, he kept saying he was in pain so he could get morphine and high. then not a week later he passed out again from a combination robo and anti depressents. Weed itself isnt bad but it can and will lead to worse stuff.

Legalize all drugs, tax the crud outta them, then watch as society fails to crumble into a Mad Max scenario.
Don't legalize gay marriage though... God will cry, and that'll lead to another Noah's Ark fairy tale... Oops, I mean scenario.

Weed wasn't the gateway drug there.
David himself was the issue. He'd have started with whiffits (nitrous bulbs for whipped cream siphons) if nothing else was available.
Yes, one of my mates went dope psycho. Complete with major personality change and everything.
Mind you, he was bipolar, and an undiagnosed schizophrenic. He's also no longer my mate (mainly because he topped himself).

People who do heroin also used to drink milk.
Doesn't mean milk is a gateway drug.
