According to NORML, "The Ballot Measure Would Legalize... For Personal Use: - possession for all adults, 21 and older - personal cultivation (not for resale) in a space up to 10X10 ft (can be larger for patients) - cultivation for resale with license from the state (includes tax of $100/pound) - cannabis retail stores with license from the state For Medical Use: - doctors and patients shall have full legal rights regarding cannabis as with any other therapy - grants medical use rights to patients from other states For Commercial Hemp: - farmers would be allowed to grow hemp just like any other crop in Missouri [link to kcnorml.org] Sounds like a win-win ballot initiative! Go MO For nothing is secret that will not be revealed… |

You have to think politically. You will never get any such initiative passed without a tax. The proposed tax is for the fence-sitters. The initiavie proponents can use the proposed tax as a club to hit the undecided over the head. ...bring much needed income into the state... ...to pay for anti-drug efforts for the hard drugs... ...helps pay for the license and enforcement... I know many of you think that "politics" is a dirty word, not fit for the tender ears of GLP, but politics is simply the art of swaying large groups of people to open their minds and at least think of your proposed changes. |

I agree totally - tax is not necessarily a bad thing and would be a big boost for MO. Plus, I do believe one would be able to grow a bit for one's own use, much like we can make elderberry wine from the trees growing on our property without paying any tax. The signatures are needed by April 6th (I believe the deadline for submission of the petitions to the state is May 6th). If you live in MO, be sure to sign the petition!

I remember thinking, as a teen, that it was only a matter of time. Later, I wondered what the heck was going on. Then, doing a little research and uncovering the phony "war on drugs" explained a lot. I'm curious to see what will happen. As far as I can tell, MO politicians are pretty much on the take. I was amazed to see the SOS agree to put this on the ballot.

Smoked some of my cousin's while I was visiting last year.. Totally bunk weed. lol Their regular weed was ten times better than the crap they call kind bud. And people around there treat it like it's crack or something. Uber fiends up there. They should legalize it just to chill that place out. |

The ‘Show Me’ state is slated to have a ballot initiative in 2012 providing for the full legalization of marijuana. Quoting: Girl Genius Specifically, the ballot language will ask: Shall Missouri law be amended to: • legalize cannabis (commonly known as marijuana) for individuals 21 years or older; • make medical cannabis available to individuals with a physician's recommendation including those under 21 with parental or legal guardian consent and physician supervision; • create licensing processes for operation of cannabis establishments; • release individuals incarcerated or on probation or parole for non-violent, cannabis-only offenses which would no longer be illegal and expunge all records related to such offenses; and • allow the legislature to enact a tax on the retail sale of dried cannabis up to $100 per pound? This may not work simply for that reason.. They don't want to give up taking money from people on parole or in prison. Hope it does work though1 |

For the first time in history, polls show that the majority of Americans favor the legalization of marijuana. Those pro will be more motivated to get out and vote than those against so I'd say the odds are better than 50-50. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed… |

The obvious problem here is that with an outrageous tax burden on pot, the underground market will continue to operate for tax avoidance. Hello????? EXACTLY! That's why California is still going bankrupt. |
