Consolidated Marijuana Regulation Act [Law'd]

[Junkie]

Christ, it was my fault.  I wanted to include transportation and was cutting and pasting.  Marokai is not to blame.  That being said, I also did not think much about it because I did not think an 18 year old rule was so bad.

If it will move us forward, change my vote, move onto the next amendment.  Fights like this are really killing any enjoyment I have for this game.

I'm surprised someone around here actually has any left.



The amendment is currently failing. Senators have 24 hours, etc etc.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Junkie's amendment has failed.

We're now voting on amendment #3:

Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.


Nay.

Please guys. If we're going to legalize something like this, we should tax it just the same. It could raise an incredible amount of revenue, and it's only fair that we include some sort of minimum federal tax that keeps it in line with taxes on alcohol and tobacco.

[TJ in Oregon]

Nay, though I'd prefer more like 10,000%

[bgwah]

[Lambsbread]

Aye.

[Napoleon]

This amendment is now failing. 24 hours' notice.

I believe there is already a 25% tax on marijuana, per this act.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I believe there is already a 25% tax on marijuana, per this act.

Indeed, which this Act replaces with a more consolidated level of marijuana legalization and tax law. The reduction of the overall tax on marijuana products is compensated by bringing marijuana cigarettes in line with tobacco cigarette taxes.


And the amendment as failed. We are not voting on amendment #4:

Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Nay
Sorry, but I think that an integral part of any drug law liberalization scheme should be to assist those who become dependent.

[Lambsbread]

Nay.

[Napoleon]

Aye

[TJ in Oregon]

Nay.

Since marijuana is already legal everywhere I'll support money for treatment, but I have some mixed feelings about this type of legislation in general because it seems sort of stupid to legalize something and then go and spend a bunch of money trying to convince people not to do it.

But here, it's already legal.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Nay.

This amendment is now failing.

I am offering this as a friendly amendment:

Section 3: Miscellaneous

1. The RG shall receive a $50,000 bonus for the year 2012, as a reward for a great job handling an excessive workload.
2. A documentary about the life and times of Governor, Senator, and President Bgwah shall be produced and distributed for viewing in 8th grade classrooms, for educational and inspirational purposes.

Why can't you just introduce this as separate legislation? I'd support the first one, but I don't know about the second one...

It doesn't need to be separate I.e. it would take up an entire slot...

But it's completely unrelated to the legislation...I know you put it in 'Miscellaneous' but still...

[Napoleon]

If we do it this way we can move Senate business along faster.

[Marokai Backbeat]

As PPT, I strike that amendment as frivolous. Take it up elsewhere, please, Napoleon. We've already had too many amendments take up time in this bill. Senate business would move faster if we didn't have to constantly vote on separate things here, none of which have passed.
