Taking bets that it doesn't pass. Lots of ramifications if it did. States would need to deal with regulation legislation. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Throw a stipulation into the bill, where only the large drug companies like Pfizer could produce it for prescription purposes. Let their lobbyists at H or R...it'll be legal so fast it'll make your head spin.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

I went to a community meeting on the subject of legalization recently, and from what I saw one of the best ways to get the public on board would be to have all the hippy stoner types stay home. I was sure each and every one of these guys had a technicolor VW van outside with an 8-track of Freedom Rock in the dash. I don't think that most people who are pro-legalization are like that, but man do the stereotypes stick out like sore thumbs.
I think one thing that will keep it from being legalized anytime in the near future is the amount of people in jail because of the prohibition. The economic impact of releasing millions of people from prison would be huge. I would love to see an end to the absurd "war on drugs", but the end of any war means a lot of refugees. It's something we'll need to have practical solutions to before we end the prohibition.
Myself, I'm all for legalizing it, but with restrictions. I think that smoking it in public should be regulated in a way that people don't have to worry about getting high at lunch because there are a couple people two tables away toking heavy.
I also feel that because it's something that can be grown pretty much anywhere, growers and dispensaries should only be local businesses and none of this crap with huge multinational corporations. The best way to fuck up anything good is to let the corporate retards get their greedy and unethical mitts on it. Not to mention, keeping it local means that it's in the best interests of the grower/dispensaries to be a benefit to the community. Also, as it is already a perfectly effective medicine I don't see any reason why we should let big pharma get in and fuck it up.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
The prohibition of cannabis is regulated in the UN Convention of psychotropic substances.
Not that ignoring the UN has ever stopped you lot, this might become...interesting.
I'm waiting for someone to challenge this at the supreme court, and seeing the judges stuck between potentially allowing Californians to toke up and declaring a UN convention as being binding to the lawmakers...
And big pharma doesn't care what's what and who tries to stop them, they'll fuck up anything they damn well please.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

The penalties are starting to become less stringent in certain states. Some say that the jails and courts are busy processing people arrested for "simple" possession. If I'm not mistaken, in Alabama you can get 15 years to life if arrested for possession 3 times.
Now in Va, I believe you won't go to jail any more if caught with a certain amount. More or less a ticket you can pay via mail without going to court.
