I stand corrected. I remember reading a few years ago about a guy who dug a massive hole on his property to collect rainwater. I don’t remember the details, but California was very unhappy and he was in a lot of trouble.
It’s because California owns the rainwater.

the article i linked to said it was because they didn’t want anyone to collect large amounts of water that would normally fill the groundwater supply. that would take away from the common good. the new one passed in 2012, one of the stipulations was not to take it from somewhere where it would run into groundwater. taking it from your roof is ok. the actual law was linked right above mine.

How about we say fuck sch.3 as it does not even make sense.
Cannabis is not as dangerous as xanax ect.
That is just a lie and everyone worth their salt knows this.
Maybe we should ask for Sch. 6 that makes a lot more sense, at least to me anyhow.
There are 38 states and 4 U.S. territories with medical or hybrid adult use cannabis programs.
Schedule VI is a proposed new schedule designed to preserve their rights to control & regulate marijuana a.k.a. cannabis.
-
Regulating cannabis exclusively at the State or Territorial level would ensure safety standards while protecting existing small business ecosystems
-
Removing Cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act only for legal cannabis states & territories would resolve the erroneous application of the 280E tax code
-
Access to traditional banking & merchant services as well as American stock exchanges would be normalized with a new rescheduling
-
Designating Cannabis as Schedule VI allows universities & research institutes that receive federal funding to legally conduct studies around the medical uses of cannabinoids & terpenes using the existing State & Territorial supply chain
-
There is nothing more equitable for over three million patients and an industry that employs over half a million Americans than equal treatment by federal agencies including the Internal Revenue Service, Small Business Administration, and the Securities Exchange Commission
-
Schedule VI solves a litany of problems for over three million American medical cannabis patients who cannot utilize Health Savings & Flexible Spending Accounts for their medicine
-
Rescheduling to state control allows veterans access to a diverse set of cannabis products to mitigate the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
-
Registered patients who use medical cannabis shall not be subjected to additional federal taxes while maintaining their Second Amendment rights
The Cannabis industry & advocacy groups are often denied First Amendment rights on social media. In light of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, we have created an official account.
We are accepting membership applications for licensed U.S. cannabis operators, cannabis state associations, educational & research institutions, related ancillary businesses, and cannabis investors.

How about the president uses an executive order to end marijuana prohibition just like Nixon user to start it?
Because the powers that be (lobbiests) want to research and engineer weed for profit that the common man can’t reap. They want to regulate the industry down to the seed and keep home growers in the dark.
What they don’t realize is 50 years of prohibition has made the community resilient.

The ‘Enormous Hypocrisy’ in the USA is very evident and needs to end.
The USA and its’s drug war are in the way of international reform.
Colombia’s minister of justice, Néstor Osuna, said earlier this year that he hoped “we will move to a world without illegal drug economies, with responsible, reasonable regulation of cocaine, heroin, opioids, cannabis,” but he acknowledged those steps would be difficult under international law.
At a public hearing of a Senate panel last year, Osuna similarly said that Colombia has been the victim of “a failed war that was designed 50 years ago and, due to absurd prohibitionism, has brought us a lot of blood, armed conflict, mafias and crime.”
A United Nations agency report last month highlighted human rights concerns raised by the war on drugs, urging member states to shift from punitive drug-control policies to an approach rooted in public health. Dealing with drugs as a criminal problem, it said, is causing further harm.
UN experts and global leaders echoed those points in June as part of World Drug Day.
In 2019, the UN Chief Executives Board, which represents 31 UN agencies including the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), adopted a position stipulating that member states should pursue science-based, health-oriented drug policies “including the decriminalization of drug possession for personal use.”
Nevertheless, a recent report by the organization Harm Reduction International found that wealthy countries gave nearly $1 billion to further the global drug war.

Not that the US generally cares about the U.N. but, we’d likely need to roll back the UN Treaty of ‘The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs’ from 1961 that states all member countries will prohibit cannabis save for medical research and scientific purposes.
The U.N. is already complaining about the ‘legal’ states allowing it.

Things can become so conspiratorial that everything is a conspiracy. This takes away from the individuals actually committing these crimes/campaigns. It equates to passing the buck. Nothing to do about it. This is how it is and always will be etc. Obfuscation and unreasonable doubt.
Many countries have already legalized, atleast partially.
You are right but let the facts speak here…
Washington, D.C., is the biggest arms exporter in the world, comprising 40 per cent of all global sales.
Unless the council itself is supplying the other 60% you are probably spreading misinformation. 
Care to link a source for your reasoning?
