No. I hate alcohol.

I didn't see much of a difference at this one. They were all just sitting on the couch completely out of it, kind of hollow in a way. I just walked around with nothing to do. I hate parties.

I have found the people who get drunk or hi and just sit around are the same ones who sit around and do nothing normally.

A couple more years and it will be fully legalized in CA, which the benefits of will be displayed and then more states should follow.
So that's why the proposition failed.

When I moved to a different area of San Diego, I told my friend that it wasn't as good as where I used to live because there are less dealers. But I only said this because in San Marcos--where I live--there is only one dealer per street corner, as opposed to the three per corner rule in Escondido.

Yeah, I'm from NorCal and it was a big debate up here. People that don't normally vote going out to cast votes for or against, people that don't usually debate debating the issue. It was weird, but it was very important to a lot of people. I totally see what the growers in the Emerald Triangle were on about, but all it needed was a re-write. The problem was that it was written by the guy that started Oaksterdam University, where they teach people how to grow, how to start dispensaries, and the law. The guy wanted to have huge grow warehouses in Oakland, and the city was all for it. And it almost happened. But folks were worried (not just Emerald growers) that the result of mass produced bud would be a decrease in quality, and a lower price possibly. Some of us are for the lower price part, but not the reduced quality. But on the other hand, you can always continue to grow your own bud. But the Emerald growers didn't like the idea of prices dropping.

I always thought that that legalized marijuana that you buy at the 7/11 would be of either the same or higher quality with a higher (and taxed) price, with many other Southern Californian peers/elders feeling the same way. Herm, quite teh opposition in opinion, maybe we should split into two states.

I've always felt like that was a good idea, because I've always harbored immense hatred for Southern California. I'm not even sure exactly where it stems from. I used to think NorCal, CentralCal, and SoCal would work. 3 states. But, yeah... not likely.

But yeah, if it was legalized in California the way the bill was written, there would be warehouses of grows, churning out fairly decent buds at such a high rate that the market would be flooded and instead of being able to get 140-400 /.oz., it'd probably fetch no more than 80 /oz. And mass-produced, it's hard to keep your eyes on all the plants and put extra care into them. May increase the likelihood of getting moldy buds or a multitude of other problems solved by having a small crop and paying attention to a small amount. Then again, you could hire more bud-tenders and have them only care for a certain amount of the plants to ensure quality.

But the point is, legalization will cause the price of bud to fall drastically. Slap a meager tax on there, or even not so meager, and it would still be generally cheaper than buying bud today. I just cross my fingers about quality, although I'll have you know I'm going to continue taking care of my own plants anyway, which means buying bud is all the rarer for me.

Couldn't agree more, especially when dispensaries are notorious for mislabeling their products. Still, MR is a great reference for those exotic strains that dont come around as often
