Gergwheel1647545492 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 So adults can smoke it legally, but you still can't legally buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Not-for-profit exchange. If I sell it to you at cost, that isn't for profit, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 They're trying to legalize it for everyone again in California, too. Even make it available for sale wherever alchohol is. Probably won't pass, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 The bill would remove federal penalties at the federal level only you could still face charges against the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 There are 11 states with minimum laws. so if you are caught with less than x, you are good to go. Some states, Nevada, defer to federal statutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that leaves it pretty wide open for dispute, I mean how are they to know what I paid for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 you could still face charges against the state. Ohio has pretty lax rules http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ohio has pretty lax rules http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4557 Wow, I didn't realize that. I never heard of anyone getting anyone only getting a MM and only $100 fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I hope this bill passes and the DEA gets off their high horse regarding legal state pot laws (see California medical marijuana farm raids). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 you also lose your license for six months for ANY drug offense in ohio. regardless of if you are in a car or not. if you are sitting in the park smoking a J and the cops write you a ticket for it, you lose your license. and the 100 bucks is only for possession. the thing they get you on is paraphernalia. max penalty there is 1000 dollars and 6 months in jail.

cptn janks Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 lol here are some quotes from Anslinger on why pot should be illegal (circa 1930) "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others." "...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." "Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death." "Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men." "Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing" "You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother." "Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't lose your license over that. Jail time for paraphernalia is stupid as well. A fine of $100 should be sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 You are a little late on this but still a rather good post. Ohio has some of the least strict laws on marijuana, for the amounts you are allowed to have anyway. No other state would let you have 100g in your house in one bag and all you get is 100 dollar fine and its just a minor misdemeanor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 putting people in jail for pot is a joke and a waste of tax dollars QFT. I am all far putting Crimnal of serious crimes away. But whens the last time you herd about a "Brawl" over pot? Bar fights are common. I've been in a few. (I was in the middle of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I am late on it, the Press Conference happened yesterday. I realize the HR was released in April. I work in California all the time, plenty of medical pot places. The local laws are lenient but the feds aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I don't smoke pot, but there isn't anything wrong with it being used for recreation by adults. Safer than alcohol, that's for sure. I'll drink to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ohio has no medical pot laws. Though THC has been linked to several anti-cancer drugs as a very effective aid in delivery. Plus nausea and appetite are usually problems with chemo patients and pot helps with that as well. plus it gives you something to do. laugh at simple things.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well these laws have been ohio laws for years now. People just did not know about it I geuss. They may have just been changed the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
