Still yet, I would prefer to be able to grow some green (if I choose to do so) and be left alone. Kyle, would you rather be free to grow a few plants for your personal consumption or have the gov't manage the process for your "enjoyment"?
I don't get your logic against legalizing then. The only way you will ever get to grow it is if it it completely legal, not thru decriminalizing, which you stated you preferred before. I understand the point you are trying to make about the government controlling something, but there other instances of govt control I have a WAY BIGGER problem with. Legalization is step in the right direction. This is just an assumption, but I would bet people in Colorado and Washington find it easier to grow their own since legalizing. There may be more federal oversight but there will be way less LOCAL enforcement. That is where most of us get in trouble, local po po pinching you for a quarter, not the feds kicking in your door for a couple plants out back.
I think we are having two convos. 1. Current environment. Lower or Remove the po po's ability to "pinch" me for holding or growing for personal consumption. 2.gov't control/legalization. If it's legal, then no govt control. Let me enjoy it without the "controls" of the institution.
Name one "legal" thing in America the government doesn't have some type of control over.... What you are discussing isn't a weed issue, it is a size of government issue. Like I said, I would prefer no control from the government when it comes to weed; however, I can name 1,000 other LEGAL things I would like government to butt the hell out of before pot. My point is the trade off is a win in my eyes. Trading more federal oversight for less local actually works out better for John Q. Public.
https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-11...egal-to-grow-food-in-your-own-front-yard.html Jay, you are 100% right about the government oversight is out of control on the individual citizens of this country; but I still can't agree with your thinking decriminalization is a better route for us over legalization. It isn't a perfect solution but it's is better than the laws in place. Just seems like using the too much govt oversight argument on weed is like pissing in the ocean of government overreach.
You used the term federal oversight. Does that include a public registry? Your 'pissing in the ocean' analogy is perfect...gov't overreach! I get what you are saying...I just disagree with that route. I have absolutely no problems growing a garden to put food on my table and I like it that way. To each it's own... All G Kyle...
agreed. I was grabbing some food on the last few post and I was thinking that my view is somewhat euphoric...can you imagine how shitty the weed would be if everybody had to grow their own lol? Also, I just read that article you posted on the front yard garden...that sux big time. Scary actually.
Or think how good you would get at it being able to experiment freely and refine your process over time. Then there’s also the quality control factor where you know exactly what you are getting. Clean and green!
The HOA governing bodies and local govt's are out of control down here. I know I am beating a dead drum, but the s*** they put me thru to put solar panels on my house really opened my eyes to the absurd over reach local governments now have.
^I was trying to figure out in article if a HOA was involved. That makes more sense...the property owners association bylaws. Courts sided on the bylaws I guess. I can't imagine that happening from a municipality (i.e. city of or county of). Glad I live in a somewhat rural area!
Rural area?? No wonder you sound like a hick...... Hick!! Hick!! Hick!! Yeeeehaaaahhhhhh!!! And that is before you smoke el dopo!!!! lol
You have no experience...you have never heard me speak and there is no way to know if I have smoked "el dopo" or not. bye bye barry...gotta make the drive out to the sticks!!!
Touchy, touchy. And you are exactly right. As per usual, I was just yanking your chain!! lol Gotcha. Have a nice drive. Say "hi" to mom!!
