My feelings on this are that anybody with half a brain living in California can already get their medical card no problem. So if you live in California and are going to jail for weed you are probably a fucking idiot.
So what is the point of this again? Have you actually read the bill? There is actually a clause that says you cannot smoke in the presence of a minor. Or in your car. Or on public property. The fed government has also sworn to prosecute aggressively even if the law passes. So, my guess is most of the mom and pop dispensaries get shut down by the feds, meanwhile Philip morris and other corporate goons with the bank roll to get the feds to look the other way take over completely and the market is theirs.
But who knows? There are a million scenarios that could play out if it passes. However my feelings on the subject is that there is little to gain and a hell of a lot to lose, so why chance it? Tell your doctor you get headaches, get your medical card and hope that someday a REAL legalization bill comes down the pipe in the next few years.
