Cerberus Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Thumbs up for putting the Aus part first.

lifestylez Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 This is awesome! I have been watching closely and excited to see how this pans out. Will the feds interfere and launch a legal challenge? Probably, but I hope not. However, these laws don't represent full freedom. You can grow up to 6 plants with a license, so will cops still be raiding houses in the hopes of finding 7+ plants? The second wave has begun people...

Ferrethead Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Interesting how the US takes these opportunities to float these ideas. It seems in Aus we're told it costs x squillion each extra question we want to ask that isn't the primary "which party" during a referendum. Medical marijuana ends up in the hands of recreational users in any case in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
