THE WEED EFFECT: 4 States That Are Pending Legislation To Legalize Marijuana


So I'm just Googling around and I come across Medical Marijuana Pros & Cons website which has a lil chart that has which states have pending legislation for legalization, which states passed legislation & which states failed legislation. 

There is a TON of information on the Pros & Cons site the part that caught my attention is the pending states which are Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania & North Carolina. YES! my home state NC but (...& theres always a but) its only for medical use. 

Ill post the summary thats on the Pros & Cons site to break it down a lil bit. They have a bigger PDF file that holds more technicalities.

If passed, the bill would put on the Nov. 4, 2014 statewide election ballot a "constitutional amendment to allow, through a regulated system, the medical use of cannabis to alleviate and treat debilitating medical conditions and their symptoms and to further allow, through a regulated system, the acquisition, possession, cultivation, manufacture, delivery, transfer, or transportation of cannabis exclusively for such medical use."

One step closer to recreational use which makes me happy.
Maryland Passed Legislation and the summary goes a little something like this...
____________________________________________________

"For the purpose of altering the purpose of the Natalie M. LaPrade Medical Marijuana Commission [created by HB1101, signed into law May 2, 2013] to include the registration and regulation of certain physicians... encouraging the Commission to license medical marijuana growers that grow certain strains of marijuana; authorizing an entity licensed to grow marijuana under certain provisions of law to provide marijuana to certain patients or certain caregivers..."

Minnesota Passed Legislation and the summary of theyre bill is
____________________________________________________

 "A bill for an act relating to health; providing for medical cannabis registry program; authorizing rulemaking; establishing duties of patients, heal care practitioners, and manufacturer of medical cannabis; establishing patient protections;... requiring impact assessment of medical cannabis therapeutic research..."

 New York (surprisingly) Passed Legislation
___________________________________________________

"Legalizes the possession, manufacture, sale, administration, delivery, dispensing and distribution of [up to 8 oz of] marijuana in connection with medical use thereof for certified patients... permits registered organizations to sell, administer, deliver, etc. marijuana to certified patients or the caregiver of a certified patient for certified medical use..."

"Legalizes the possession, acquisition, use, delivery, transfer, transport or administration of marihuana by a certified patient or designated caregiver for a certified medical use..."

Long story short its coming people, the day marijuana is legal everywhere is coming.
