It is perfectly legal to not have vaccinations. There is no law to say you must have them.

Even if made legal there will still be a flourishing black market and the argument that something made legal diminishes it's appeal is pure BS. Just look at grog and ciggies.

yeah ... there are dealers selling winnie blues and VB at every corner such is the appeal Cheesy

ohh, a year after legalising pot the dealers are still selling it ... Cheesy

In your case, the days run into months ........... only an idiot would think everything stops the day the law is passed.

Besides, there are other factors at play .... from your own link..... The struggles of the licensed pot market in California are distinct from the experience of other states
that have legalized cannabis in recent years. Sales in Colorado, Oregon and Washington grew well above 50 percent for each of the first three years of legalization, although Oregon now also has a large glut of pot.

looks like turdie stepped in it AGAIN Grin

Detectives on Tuesday investigated what prompted the Labor Day killings of seven people at an illegal marijuana growing operation in a small, rural Southern California community known for horse ranches and plant nurseries along dirt roads.

More than 42,000 illegal marijuana plants discovered recently on California public lands have been eradicated.

The Inyo County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday that the street value of the plants was estimated at between $84 million and $169 million.

Vast groves of marijuana were discovered in three locations in Inyo County, a sprawling Eastern Sierra wilderness with the town of Independence as its county seat.

Water and wildlife in the nation's public forests are slowly being poisoned by insecticides and other chemicals used in illegal marijuana operations, say forest police and researchers. They warn that the potential environmental damage could last generations.

Read that article Monk. Your idea of legalising drugs with Govt oversight is just a utopian dream.

Once again my plan would be:

Weed totally legal for people to grow enough for person use wink wink and supply a few best friends. Limit of 10 plants?

No person would ever get busted for simple possession of any drug.

They would have a health assessment and be directed to some kind of clinic if required.

Large scale manufacturer or importers of dangerous drugs can rot in jail for eternity.
