How many people are going to be shot for trespassing in the gardens?

3oz possession when outside of your home and 5 pounds at home . 5lbs of real dank is some serious weight for self consumption.

Curious how employers will treat this as far as drug testing. I’ve read the bill , there was reference to employment testing for marijuana was discriminatory . Some have said it will be illegal for employers to terminate for marijuana use off the clock , I didn’t see that specifically in the bill .

There was an employer who forbid tobacco use off the clock a while back. Not sure how they planned to enforce it.

1. NY probably hasnt thought through all the restrictions they will create to jamb people up and squeeze them for revenue.
2. I woudnt consider that venture a "hobby" unless you have some kind of infatuation with red tape.
3. Absent the red tape, a small scale breeding program would be kind of fun.
4. Pot seeds from well known strains are quite expensive. Propogation from cuttings is quite easy
5. I forget what we were talking about

1 ... yep and nope ... see #4 the feds get it .. lol
2 .. yep
3 ... yep
4 ... pot seeds selling and shipping is Fed banned in the US ..

Mr Emery, a resident of Vancouver, British Columbia, said he had made $3m (£2.4m) a year before his arrest in 2005.

His seeds were allegedly traced to illegal cannabis-growing operations in Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, Montana, Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey and North Dakota, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration.
Supporters of Mr Emery claim that Canada's Conservative government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, is instigating a "culture war" by not intervening in his extradition.
Mr Emery's wife, Jodie Emery, called on other marijuana activists to shut down Hastings Street, a busy corridor in Vancouver, in protest at his extradition.
"My husband committed a crime punishable by only a $200 fine in Canada, yet this Conservative government is sending him to serve up to 25 years in US jail," Mrs Emery said in a press release on Thursday morning. "

I’ve heard of companies paying less towards health insurance premiums for employees who smoke .
Forbidden tobacco use off company property is rather aggressive.
