MENDOCINO COUNTY FIRST IN U.S. TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA

Winning Measure G Allows Up To 25 Pot Plants For Personal Use

By a 58-42 margin Tuesday, Mendocino County voters approved a measure to decriminalize personal use of marijuana, a first in the United States.

The Green Party-sponsored Measure G ran strong in every area of the county, and especially on the Mendocino Coast where the final vote count widened the winning margin significantly.

Supporters were jubilant early Wednesday morning.

Former Rep. Dan Hamburg, a former Democrat who joined the Green Party and helped campaign for Measure G, said the outcome underscores Mendocino County residents' weariness with state and federal campaigns against marijuana growers.

"The decisive outcome should send the message we were hoping: People who are intimately aware of the government's anti-marijuana crusade are demanding that the focus of lawmakers and law enforcement shift to hard, dangerous drugs and not an illicit weed that's been around for centuries," said Hamburg.

Measure G support cut across political boundaries and age groups.

"I'm old enough to remember Prohibition. That didn't work, and neither are the marijuana laws," said Anne Rogers of Boonville. Rogers said she voted for Measure G because she believes it's time to change criminal laws surrounding personal use of marijuana.

Patricia Kubran of Redwood Valley said she, too, voted for the measure. "I feel the courts are crowded enough. Let's focus on the real criminals."

Although there was no organized opposition, numerous county political and education leaders spoke out against Measure G, fearing passage would send the wrong message to young people. The marijuana measure, which has attracted national attention, would allow individuals to grow and harvest up to 25 plants. Sale and transportation of marijuana still would be illegal under the measure's provisions.

Local law enforcement leaders said the measure is mostly symbolic. Sheriff Tony Craver and District Attorney Norman Vroman said they will enforce state and federal marijuana laws, which take precedent over local laws.

The marijuana vote topped a local ballot that consisted mainly of city elections in Ukiah, Willits and Fort Bragg, and a $30 million hospital bond measure on the Mendocino Coast.

Leave your remark on this... I think its a good thing they did.

:scatter: :stoner: :istone: :bling: :nuts: too bad its not national

lets all move there

naa, I like it where I am, and they legalized pot for medicianal uses where I live

:rolleyes:

heh, it seems you really want it legalized

Naw, I dont smoke it... lol

i do smoke and to tell you the truth i dont know if i want it legalized
simply because if they legalize it there could be things that make smoking harder or more expensive:
1: TAXES look at cigarettes $4 a pack here from the company they are sold at like $1.50
2:IMPORTING ok so its legal now so the illegal importing will probly stop and move to legally import it if they make it illegal again its gonna be a long possibly hard process to begin importing it again
3:AGE it will be age 21 to possess weed im 20 even though i will be 21 in a few months but for the younger of the bunch
ever tried to get a bottle or some beer and couldnt but you could make a call and get any type of weed u want.... that could stop
i think thats about it somone post the good side of things or more bad things please

u gotta unroll the leaf roll the paper then roll the leaf back around it then its perfect if u know the technique

Well if it were legalized there would be a few major differences between weed, beer, and cigerettes.
First off... ciggerettes are majorly taxed and stuff, and beer you gotta be 21.. with weed however most everyone will be growing there own so forget taxes and since its a smokable i think you will only have to be 18.

Weed is bad. If you smoke weed I hope you die. If you smoke cigarettes you're even worse..

So if someone doesnt smoke weed, you hope they don't die?
We all gonna die then you will be disapointed when they do.
(not saying I smoke we, havnt for 3 years, but I dont disaprove of it)

FLAME KING_AMAZON!!!!!! YOU HERB I HOPE YOU DIE WEED MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND

ps: the age will be 21 its on the news here

Darn then I got 2 more years =/

its not gonna happen anyway because its only gonna be legal in one state but the federal laws will still prevent legal marijuana this is off the news here

Well its already legal in mendocine but yea state and fed laws overrule them... but theres less change of getting in trouble up there

weed is good right ebfore you go to sleep

no its not its good when ur about to go to school it opens up new doors:noid: :flash: :rofl: :nuts: then when u get home u cant belive that u just went through a hole day of school
