Thanks for the comments Alex.
Here is a link to the RAD 2018 initiative to legalize marijuana. It's 100% complete total legalization of marijuana.
Sadly the RAD initiative was demonized by the Safer Arizona gang.
And of course I was kicked off of the Safer Arizona board of directors for complaining that Tom Dean was turning the Safer Arizona initiative into one of these evil things Alex is talking about here.
And of course Safer Arizona has demonized me too.
If you want REAL legalization of marijuana you ain't going to get it from Safer Arizona or Tom Dean. Both seem to support giving the current Arizona legal medical marijuana cartel a second monopoly on growing and selling recreational marijuana. And of course turning the Arizona legal medical marijuana cartel into the Arizona legal recreational marijuana cartel.

How you can tell the people writing pot laws are just out for money and control. Not in any particular order.
1. High taxation that is touted as a benefit.
2. Expensive licenses that are prohibitive to the majority of society.
3. Limited outlets/bottlenecks.
4. Against home grow being sold.
5. Limits on homegrown/plant counts.
6. Limits on possession for quick turnaround.
7. All these things combined to artificially inflate the price.
8. Felony laws still in place/lack of total decrim.
9. Demand for certain amounts of assets to be held by the interested party.
What other ways do the greedy fucks clog up Freedom with their schemes and tricks?
