There are mechanisms for verifying the accuracy of the vote, that could someday also be one.
However it shouldn't have been legalized it should have been decriminalized.
It already was. In some ways that was better, back then they could not search your car based on the smell because possession was not a crime. Since they legalized it having an open container of cannabis is now a crime so they can once again search when they claim to smell it. On the plus side now they can't take your kids away for using cannabis.
No one is a citizen of North America, it's not a country.
That's a great example of legalized vs decriminalized. And that's one of the points I was driving at.
Isn't it interesting that by legalizing something it can now be used against you! Used to invade your privacy, take away your rights and freedoms (in this case not your kids).
(Completely off topic. How do you insert quotes from previous posts? I want to add one from earlier)
(Quote from previous) "You say "we made pot legal". <----Think about that for a minute."
If I understand you correctly you say "it already was" decriminalized. So by voting to make pot legal you essentially took away my right of decriminalized pot use and mad it a privilege.
So by passing this Law, do you now have more or less freedom? I'm not there, this not rhetorical, I do not know the answer to that question so I'm asking.
Legalizing something gives more control to THEM. It makes a Permission not a Right. My goal is smaller less intrusive Government not more.
So when I tell you that I'm a "North American Sovereign" your going to say I don't exist because I'm not
aCitizenowned by someCountryGang with a flag?Not really, the voters created a new crime of open container of cannabis in a misguided effort to regulate it as if it was alcohol, but of course it is not alcohol. You can have your pot in the trunk or in a sealed container.
There is more freedom and protection for cannabis users and distributors in the new law, less protection and freedom for stoned bad drivers. The misconception is that stoned drivers are actually a threat like drunk drivers.
No, I will just be bemused like the judge was when I saw someone make that claim in traffic court and then storm out, his fine will be mailed to him.
When did you renounce your citizenship? how much did it cost?
Prohibition is the abdication of regulation, decriminalization keeps all the criminal elements intact, it is a half measure. When the government fails to regulate something it ought to regulate then all sorts or market failures happen, one of those market failures is obtrusive policing because of the violent gangs that arise in unregulated markets created by prohibition.
