Weed is technically already illegal under federal law. However, in recent years the Justice Department has declined to prosecute people for selling weed in states that legalize it and create protections against marketing it to children. A Trump presidency brings that status into question.

Hillary promised to allow states to continue to experiment with legalization. I wonder what Trump promised.

 

[fredrancour]

well fewer people going to jail for a terrible reason is a small victory

 

[legbone]

Congrats californians! Looks like us Arkansans are going to get it for medicinal purposes. My chronic insomnia may finally be able to be treated legally (nothing works for me but herb).

 

[Izayoi]

A light in the dark.

The west coast glows, alone is a vast sea of despair.

 

[Fisty]

It definitely wasn't hard to get it previously, but I wonder what all those weed doctors are going to do now. There were tons of little pop up docs that just gave recommendations

What about prop 60? Can porn stars still bareback

I'm sorry, man... I really am.

At least we can retract into our insular liberal mecca... I'm feeling for the rest of the country right now, though.

Feel free to export them to WA if not.

So far yes.

So how's it going in Nevada right now? I can't find out if there is any new info.
With Trump as president I might need to smoke a lot of pot.

The last update I saw was it was leading to pass.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Yay us.

 

[Merc_]

Well, at least something went right.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Something had to go right for the moment.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Florida just passed it too, I think.

Florida passed the use of Medical Marijuana.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Thanks fellow Mass bretherin

 

[ChouGoku]

Trump can shut that shit down

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Thanks fellow Mass bretherin

Yes sir. Did my part!

 

[Fulminator]

Thanks fellow Mass bretherin

you got it dude

 

[Monster Zero]

Florida passed Amendment 2, we in boys

 

[RiccochetJ]

Welcome fellow states! At the beginning, there will be lineups outside stores, but eventually the novelty will wear off and it'll just be business as usual.

Also the sky hasn't fallen and overall crime is down here in Colorado

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Florida passed Amendment 2, we in boys

Congrats! Baby steps.

 

[FStop7]

New state anthem passed, too

[Barajas_201]

Welp, at least some good things happened today, now I only hope the US ends the war on drugs...

 

[Maxinas]

And hopefully Prop 56 goes through. I'd rather have to deal with pot smokers as neighbors than cigarette smokers who occasionally have temper tantrums here and there.

Spoiler

I really need to move to a better apartment complex.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Definitely celebrating the passage of this law to say the least. Good job Cali.

 

[Megalosaro]

Remember dudes. Just because it's legal doesn't mean companies can't fire you for testing positive.

It looks like 56 is going to pass.

 

[Fletcher]

Jobs need to not be able to fire you for using, though.

 

[Nafai1123]

Well at least I can blaze legally for the next 4 years. Not that it would've stopped me...

 

[Ponn]

Florida we got medical version approved so yay something good came out of today. Hopefully on my next visit to my neurologist we can get the ball rolling and I don't have to wake up most of the week and spend the morning in the bathroom puking and in awful numbing pain with the only recourse of forcing enough muscle relaxers down my throat to knock me out for the whole day. .

 

[Ashhong]

Yea...what's going to happen when people start smoking and jobs still test for it?

 

[CharminUltra]

Dumb question: when can we, uh, start, er, you know, without getting in trouble?

 

[Sky Chief]

Remember dudes. Just because it's legal doesn't mean companies can't fire you for testing positive.

What if you work for a cannabis company? ;-)

 

[EloquentM]

They don't get the job lol if the company follows federal legislature.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Federal level gonna go full stormtrooper.

I'm gonna move to California
I feel like it is the closest thing to a safe haven within the US now

The PNW is pretty damn safe.

Just the larger cities.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Weed is legalized. The Lakers are a .500 team.... but Trump is president.

I don't know what to feel.

 

[Matty77]

Need to buy a lock box. Here in MA it's now legal to have under 10 ounces at home but it must be locked up, and you can carry up to an ounce. I guess it takes effect in December but for now the medical dispensieres will convert to straight selling Recreational because new licenses will not go out until 2018.

Funniest language in the law is you are allowed to gift up to an ounce to a legal individual. Wonder how many people will "borrow money" from a friend while "gifting" a bag before new locations open up?

 

[Ashhong]

Kind of sucks to not know if it's OK or not untik it's too late

Move to Massachusetts. It's better than california. And far more liberal. California is actually has pretty deep pockets of conservatives

 

[Dreams-Visions]

FL legalized medical marijuana.

I agree with this about 90%. Winter kind of drags down the averages even though most everything else is great. And we have our embarrassing places also, especially in western MA.

 

[Always-honest]

Congrats! That's great.

 

[Deadstar]

What happens to all the kids that are in jail for small possession? I really hope this move hurts the prison economy.

 

[Budi]

Congrats, I hope this gives Californians some relief and hope in these dark times.
