Would my medical marijuana recommendation be legal in other states that also honor recommendations?- Dee Starr
It depends on the state. Michigan and Montana and Maine (I think) welcome anyone with a card to visit their dispensaries. Arizona allows you to possess cannabis if you have an out-of-state-letter, but won’t let you buy. Nevada is supposed to honor your letter, but the cops that wrote me up in 2015 didn’t see my valid letter of recommendation as a legal defense.
Here’s the thing though: 2016 is gonna be awesome for cannabis reform. Massachusetts, Arizona, Nevada (fingers crossed) and North Dakota (where activists submitted petition signatures just last week) are all expected to pass legalization laws. Oregon, Washington Colorado, D.C. and Alaska already have adult-use cannabis laws in place. There are plenty of great vacation options in all of those states, plus it’s a good idea to spend your vacation money in places that support your right to be a responsible pot-using adult. Have fun planning your trip!
How can you say you’re on the AUMA bandwagon? Haven’t you read this: ellenbrown.com? (GMO, Monsanto, evil, George Soros, Bayer. THE CORPORATIONS ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER YOUR MARIJUANA!) I hope you come to your senses and vote against this evil corporatist bill. - Tru B. Lieber
Yadda, yadda. Listen: Corporations aren’t going to take over the weed game. They may try to create monopolies, but the Adult Use of Marijuana Act does a pretty good job of allowing smaller craft-style growers to have a share of the market. Just like how I hardly ever drink corporate beer, I am pretty sure I will support small-batch cannabis farms.
Plus, let’s not forget that cannabis has been genetically modified, er, selectively bred for generations. How do you think high-CBD strains like Harlequin and Ringo’s Gift were invented?
If you’re so worried about evil scientists creating zombie GMO cannabis strains, now would be a good time for you and your doomsday prepper friends to start an heirloom cannabis seed bank. You could start a business that specializes in non-GMO cannabis seeds. That way, you could make some money, and “pure” cannabis will still have a place at the weed table. Win-win. Vote yes on Prop. 64.
