Good afternoon from FL!

[supajes]

I have been a user for almost 20 years. Hoping MJ will be legalized in my generation. The problem in FL as I see it, is the monetary benefits the State makes by keeping it illegal. FL #1 income revenue is tourism. Followed by corrections. If someone happens to catch an MJ charge, driver's license is suspended for 2 years. The more they put you in jail, the more money for the State. FL is also a big Republican State. Not Reaganomics Republicans. But, racist, "keep rich rich and keep poor poor republicans". So, "they" will do what they can to keep it illegal. I have put some thought into this. Maybe my thoughts will help you determine if my ideas are palatable:

1. For use/sale in a private setting or venue(i.e. hash bar, huka lounge).

2. Keep out of reach of children. Let them make their own decision once they are old enough.

3. Minimum age of 18. Cancer sticks can be purchased at this age.

4. Have some device(like breathalizer) to assist you in knowing whether you are too high to drive.

5. Just like alcohol, don't do it before you go to work. I don't know of any case ever where someone was addicted to MJ.

Please let me know your thoughts, suggestions, and/or changes.

High there supajes!
Some great thoughts and Ideas, But like cocoJoe Stated FL Is moving at a snails Pace.
Keep a eye on California, I believe that in 2010 Cannabis may become legal.
The other states will seat tight to watch and learn.
Hoping it works out and gets the ball rolling.
1. For use/sale in a private setting or venue(i.e. hash bar, huka lounge).
They have these type on places and legal states I think.

2. Keep out of reach of children. Let them make their own decision once they are old enough.
This Is a Must.

3. Minimum age of 18. Cancer sticks can be purchased at this age.
Same as above, goes without saying.

4. Have some device(like breathalizer) to assist you in knowing whether you are too high to drive.
The affects on driving is far less then Booze true. Also a seasoned smoker is able to handle it better than the first timers. I think that would be a dangerous tool in law inforcement hands you think?

5. Just like alcohol, don't do it before you go to work. I don't know of any case ever where someone was addicted to MJ.
Again there is a fine line on this statement, Between MMJ users and regular users over recreation smokers.

That is just my two cents Friend. ::

Continue to voice your thoughts here on 420.
We will all be waiting to hear more.
See you in the forums.

You'll be proud to be a part of something BIG that works toward Awareness and Legalization.

I have seen where California is trying to get a bill passed to put marijuana ont he same level as alcohol there. It seems to me that whater happens in California happens int he deep south ten years later, so all we have to so is WAIT !!! LOL.
