Aside that no one would force you to buy "marlboro weed," how could this picture have anything to do with prop 19?

I know what you are shooting for here, but have you dealt with a drug dealer? I want my weed now, not an hour and a half later when your cousin gets home to give you a ride. I think it would be nice to be able to walk into a store and walk out, with weed, on my own terms.

I live in the Bay Area, and am actually getting my card tomorrow in Oakland. I do enjoy the access to clubs, but they have regular business hours. Most Chevron/711's are open 24hr. Thats one of the only reasons I would favor them, that and I can get munchies and drinks all at the same time!

Mind if I ask you a few questions about the clubs in our area?

Where should I go? Im looking for edibles and something to smoke. Somewhere "first time" friendly.

I've seen this argument before. I've got to be honest, I don't know many people who would stand to have their buds chemically treated like cigarettes. I would guess that a majority of smokers wouldn't buy brands that did, forcing companies to keep it clean. I would say some big reasons for legalization would be a reduction in crime and ridding of a black market. Something like this would only force another black market due to smokers not tolerating additives in their buds, which would take money from the white marker. This alone could pursued pot companies to keep it clean.

Who exactly are these "Ma and Pop growers" and who do they sell to now? How are they legally able to do what they do and how will this be prohibited by prop 19?

The general idea that I believe everyone wants is for Cannabis to be just like beer is. Homebrewing/growing is allowed within a reasonable level for personal use, but no selling is allowed. Microbrewpubs/smoking cafes allowed to produce/sell/and provide space for consumption to the general public. And yeah there'll be Macrobrew/shwag for those who don't want the good stuff or can't afford the goodstuff and don't want to grow.

That's the best scenario and while that's not what's in the books now, nor was it when they legalized homebrewing in the early 70's, but once the genie is out of the bottle and the growers are allowed to do so in the open, let's see where things go.

Prop 19 will NOT affect medicinal growers. That being said, 6000w setups are not for personal medical use plus a bit extra, they are pure profit under the guise of medicine. Shit bro I'm a Humboldt native, you think I don't know how this all works?! I know the costs, I know the benefits, I know old schoolers who started outdoors in the 70's and moved indoors in the 80's and now their kids who started guerrilla growing in the 90's and now all the newschoolers and 215ers.

I'm all for people growing, and making a living off of growing a great product and being as cool as they want to be. But this is America. Big 100,000ft2 grows and mediocre chem'ed out herb is not my cup of tea, but neither is Budweiser. Both microbrews and macrobrews have a right to exist and the public has the right to choose. Same should go for herb, that's capitalism. I don't need a doctor's prescription to drink beer, nor should I need one to smoke herbs.

Wait, where in prop 19 are the clubs forced to buy from "big business". Can't you chose between organic local produce and factory farmed Monsanto frankenfoods? Plus legal herb means you can grow in a greenhouse with sunlight and fresh air and compost. Or in some pseudo-space-station in your closet. You can choose. I can choose. Patients with genuine medical needs can choose. Lazy shwag heads can choose. Your bottom line is not my problem. Greed is not good. Nor is it God. The best growers will continue to grow amazing product and sell to whoever wants it, legal or not. The rest will have to find something else to do. Sorry if you won't be able to sell mid-range herb for 15 a gram or trim buds for 20 an hour, but I'm not going to support keeping people in jail just to subsidize the cottage cannabis industry.

How do you vote down on this?

Because it's an opinion that oversimplifies the issue.

I can't stand the thought of smoking any pot manufactured by people who contributed to anti-marijuana campaigns in the past.

Then don't. Grow your own, buy from small businesses, buy medical or buy from small time growers who continue to sell it illegally.
