And by the way, someone really needs to tell these lawmakers that weighing the entire plants without drying them out is outrageously unfair. Anyway with anything more than a seedling is going to be labeled a trafficker..ridiculous.manfoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-71279850356527474522011-03-27T16:02:07.650-05:002011-03-27T16:02:07.650-05:00In re-reading this just now I came across somethin...In re-reading this just now I came across something that struck me as hysterically funny. Is it just me or does the section below say that PCP and LSD are made from the opium poppy?<br /><br /><b>"(e) Any person who knowingly sells, manufactures, delivers, or brings into this state, or who is knowingly in actual or constructive possession of any morphine, opium, or any salt, isomer, or salt of an isomer thereof, including heroin, phencyclidine, or lysergic acid, as described in Section 20-2-23(2) or Section 20-2-25(1)a., or of any mixture containing these substances, is guilty of a felony, which felony shall be known as "unlawful distribution of controlled substance." If the quantity involved is:<br /></b><br /><br />If this is passed will that mean that any LSD and PCP not made from the opium plant is legal?<br /><br />These clowns really really need to stop playing God with chemical compounds they do not understand and people's lives which the don't give a damn about.<br /><br />This bill is coming up in judiciary committee this coming Wednesday.It needs to die.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-7782084152962318342011-03-27T15:30:53.852-05:002011-03-27T15:30:53.852-05:00They won't remove the "criminal" asp...They won't remove the "criminal" aspects of weed because the states and the government have too much money changing hands to actually decriminalize it.<br />How much Fed money is poured into states to "combat drugs"?<br /><br />How many "drug enforcement" people would be out of jobs?<br /><br />How much in fines and confiscated property would states lose? I know a guy who was popped and they took EVERYTHING he owned because according to the state, "everything he owned" was due to profits from marijuana sales! Even stuff he inherited that was verifiable...gone.<br /><br />With the economy in the crapper in most states, not too many will be willing to see their cash cow decriminalized.-Sepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187463448901564093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-43396287043887066442011-03-26T14:18:19.982-05:002011-03-26T14:18:19.982-05:00This is bad!

Now up to 1 kilo for personal use is a misdemeanor. For growing, it keeps existing law for "traffickng in cannabis" at 1 kilo. And any part of the plant can be weighed, roots and all. Even 1 small plant would be over a kilo,wet with roots. This does not distignuish between low-level marijuana users and career criminals. How does this do anything to help with the prison vercrowding?sixstringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878454964527305341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-56966136897960043042011-03-26T12:29:07.403-05:002011-03-26T12:29:07.403-05:00Loretta, there is no possible way I could support ...Loretta, there is no possible way I could support something like this. The ONLY time a person should be placed in prison with no chance of release is if that person has a history of habitual violence and has PROVEN he or she cannot or simply will not function in society. Just like all other House Bills that have (somewhat) positive steps toward reform, there are ALWAYS Draconian provisions attached that actually further the agenda of a Police State.<br /><br />This is one of the reasons I plan to leave Alabama. It has gotten exponentially worse over the years and it looks as though we have just seen the tip of the iceberg -which is darn scary!<br /><br />I wish you'd have won the Governorship. <br /><br />C.A.
