News! Medical Marijuana Bills To Hit Senate Floor Next Week!

[Indigro]

Thank you hayduke... appreciate the updates, and your efforts.

[Wild Bill]

The limitations on quantity for an individual patient could very easily make it so that no patient could make any legally at home. If you are using cannabis to treat your condition(s) in multiple ways there's no room to make oil and stay within the MM Act. It is fathomable legally, but it would be an amazing juggling act with crop rotations, multiple forms of cannabis on hand, and extraction methods. 

 

If it goes through allowing 72 ounces of liquid it shouldn't be a problem. A couple grams of alcohol or oil added to your hash oil and presto! 72 fluid ounces of marihuana-infused product. What was once 18 ounces is now legally considered to be 1 ounce.

 

If you make oil you can put 30 grams in 1 pound of brownies and it will be legally considered the equivalent of 1 ounce.

 

Of course if you turn it into a gas you can only have 7 grams. :lolu:

WTF is gas mj,, a vapour bag to go?  I'm old help me out  you youngins

[t-pain]

they should have just upped the limit of marijuana, instead of making police and prosecutors do math.

 

gas marijuana for all intents and purposes, i dont think it exists yet.

i'm guessing it would be some kind of aeresol spray can, like a breath spray. but that stuff is liquid, and just has gas propellent. they just wanted to be covered i guess?

I don't understand why language that has no explanation be left in this (or any) bill.

Seems it just leaves room for more of that grey area people refer to so often.

Why muddy the water with unexplainable words?  Makes no sense at all to me.

How difficult can it be to strike 1 single word and clear it all up?

 

 

I too thank you Hayduke

[Hayduke]

well imiubu, I agree with you fully.  but in that world of tit for tat and negotiations and all, one best save their protests and best staunch demands, for the things that are most important in the big picture.  Since it is not in that category, and does not appear likely to cause an arrest, we are letting it go.  Believe me there are still more things on our wish list...

[imiubu]

Well, I am certainly glad for you and others that have the patience for this!

I do understand however... why throw the baby out with the bathwater,

keeping your eyes on the prize etc...

[imiubu]

Good find t   

[bobandtorey]

I sure am not the one to A. any of these Q. 

 

But here goes they are  easy ones 

 

It will be up to a Judge and a Great Lawyer to find the real Answers then we all will know how the Bills work

[Restorium2]

We should save that for the Lawyers they need to make some $$$ also

Misery loves company.

Is today the last day the bills can be voted on to meet the 5 day between the Senate and House vote???

[t-pain]

good time to call your reps and senators and tell them not to throw patients to the wolves/police.

[+Malamute]

They can vote to suspend the rules for passage if needed.  Common practice anymore.

[keylan]

Any idea if the bill is on the agenda at all. Has the debate on the language ended ?

[Hayduke]

We had a very long meeting this afternoon. I literally just walked in the door.

 

It went very well indeed.  I do believe we will be seeing final language on both bills by Monday.  We are told they go before the full Senate on Thursday next week.

[keylan]

Thank you Hayduke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GregS]

When can we see the final language before it goes to the floor?

[t-pain]

When can we see the final language before it goes to the floor?

when we stop living in michissippi and start living in a state run by adults.

[bobandtorey]

When can we see the final language before it goes to the floor?

 

Thanks for asking

 

 

Never got to see the other Bills before the Vote happen

[Hayduke]

Well no one has seen final language as yet, and our adversaries are trying to make a Christmas tree out of the bills by adding horrid amendments.... so everyone is in waiting mode....

Ever come up how ridiculously stupid and unethical this cramming at the last minute really is? Or does that just go unmentioned?

[Hayduke]

it is a long tradition that let's elected officials off the hook for poor amendments and bills that they could not push through during session. 

[GregS]

Schit! The House Judiciary Committee had hearings yesterday on SB 783.
