July 1st is here, so all you heads think you can rest easy, keep an ounce or so around the house, and start growing your four plants. However, here are some things to think about moving forward with marijuana.
If you want weed, you have to either grow it yourself at your house, or get it as a “gift” from someone who grows it. If you have a medical marijuana card, you can get it through a prescription from dispensaries.
But I can grow it, right? Adults 21 and over “may cultivate up to four marijuana plants for personal use at their place of residence,” the new law says. The four-plant limit is “per household” so you and your five roomies can’t start a farm in your house. You can also get hammered if someone younger than 21 gets into your stash.
Also, the plant must be “tagged” with the grower’s name, driver’s license number and a notation that it’s being grown for personal use. And keep them away from windows…plants cannot be visible to the public.
Misdemeanor charges begin after you have 10 plants, and felony charges begin if you have more than 50 in your pot garden.
You cannot sell it either. You can “share” your weed with someone 21 and over as “a gift.” If you get caught selling it, the first offense is a Class 2 misdemeanor, and a Class 1 on the second offense, which can lead to 1 year in the joint.
Anyone who gives pot to a minor is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Where do I get seeds to grow my weed? Good question and the law doesn’t go into a lot of detail. Whether it is okay to purchase the seeds, is kind of a nudge, nudge, wink, wink, a nudge is as good as a wink to a blind man kind of thing.
If you have more than an ounce of marijahoochie, it could be a civil violation, with a $25 fine…but if you are loaded up with a pound or so, that is a felony, carrying 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine…ouch!
Catch-22: You can grow up to four plants, and if you do it right, you will harvest, well, let’s say way more than an ounce. A couple of pounds on the stalk is fine and dandy, but once you harvest it, it seems like that would put you in felony territory, so…be careful.
In most cases, folks will probably continue to use their previous, preferred dealer, I mean “vendor”.
You cannot legally smoke pot in public, which is weird. Worse, you can’t pass a joint to your bro at a concert, you know like you did at Norfolk Scope at the Aerosmith concert back in 1976. This goes for wine festivals, or any public gathering. Sucks. How law enforcement will handle this will be on a case-by-case, locality by locality basis.
And dude, you can’t toke up and drive your car, even if you get really buzzed and drive super slow like Cheech and Chong. You cannot legally use marijuana as a passenger either. This is considered driving while intoxicated, which we know is a serious crime.
Note: Do not have an open container of weed in the car. This could be used say that you were driving while high. Stash your weed in a closed container and keep it in the trunk.
The Five-O can no longer search vehicles just because they smell pot — but judges will have to determine whether an “odor of marijuana” can be used to establish probable cause for police searches after accidents or wild, out of control driving, or driving while naked.
The kicker, possession of ganja is still illegal under federal law, with the third pot possession offense an automatic federal felony. That’s a federal felony bro, which comes with a prize of five years of jail time. Not just possession, but growing also.
Federal law also bars anyone who uses pot from owning a gun, with the federal background check asking applicants if they “are an unlawful user” of marijuana or other narcotics.
If you are trying to buy a gun, this is on the ATF form, “Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized … in the state where you reside.”
Lying on the form is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Ouch!
Remember, Federal law still trumps state law.
Opinion: If sleepy Joe does anything useful, maybe legalizing marijuana at the federal level would be a good start.
Our state also has a new agency, the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority — similar to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority. These guys are in charge of the state’s weed marketplace beginning in 2024.
The agency is made up of a five-member board that is appointed by the governor. They will make regulations to “prevent any corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, or unprincipled practices.” There is also a 21-member advisory council.
Regulations should be ready by July of 2023, which will allow folks to apply for “licenses” to sell marijuana in Virginia. The target date to get the marketplace up and running is January of 2024.

If the conservatives didn’t fight legalization at every corner, you would not have to go through these hoops. How come you are not supporting legalization? Where in the constitution does it say we gotta make weed illegal?
By the way, I don’t have a bone in this, I don’t smoke weed or do any drugs, but it always amazes me to see how backwards the GOP and conservatives are on a lot of things.
Ray Otton says
“How come you are not supporting legalization?’
Once again for the umpteenth time you put word in my mouth.

Ray Otton says
“it always amazes me to see how backwards the GOP and conservatives are on a lot of things.”
You paint with a very broad brush.
I have to ask:
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for segregation in college graduation ceremonies?
Does it amaze you when Democrats lie their collective asses off when they accused Trump of telling people to drink bleach?
Does it amaze you when Democrats called for Trump’s impeachment BEFORE he took the oath of office?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call AR-15’s weapons of war when not a single military organization in the world uses this semi-auto hunting rifle?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say Republicans are taking away civil rights when the Republicans are the ones who passed the Civil Rights Act?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say it’s perfectly normal for a political figure to have 53 friends and associates commit suicide?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say a mother should have the right to kill her baby right up until birth?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call the riot of 1/6 an insurrection when there was only one shot fired which killed one of the rioters?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say border crossings are on pace with prior years though we now have an extra 400K illegal immigrants in the country since they took over?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say Trump called Nazis fine people even though this has been debunked over and over again?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say Ivermectin doesn’t halt COVID because Trump said it did…..and doctors around the world are using it just so.
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be deplatformed from social media?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be hounded out of their jobs?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be confronted in grocery stores and gas stations?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say Antifa is just an idea………while they burn down city after city?
Does it amaze you when Democrats say BLM is merely another civil rights organization………..which calls for violence against white people
If you are amazed at how “backwards” Conservatives, you can imagine what we’re thinking.about YOU.
Sorin Varzaru says
“Does it amaze you when Democrats call for segregation in college graduation ceremonies?”
Which Democrats call for that?
“Does it amaze you when Democrats lie their collective asses off when they accused Trump of telling people to drink bleach?”
Trump’s statements about disinfectants, light & UV and covid were such an incoherent jumbled crap that he deserved to be made fun of.

“Does it amaze you when Democrats call AR-15’s weapons of war when not a single military organization in the world uses this semi-auto hunting rifle?”
Yes, democrats and liberals do seem fixated with this weapon. I would agree that banning it would solve nothing.
“Does it amaze you when Democrats say Republicans are taking away civil rights when the Republicans are the ones who passed the Civil Rights Act?”
That was a long time ago. I would’ve voted republican back then. GOP lost it’s way.

“Does it amaze you when Democrats call the riot of 1/6 an insurrection when there was only one shot fired which killed one of the rioters?”
It was an insurrection. Just because they were incompetents doesn’t make it less so.
“Does it amaze you when Democrats say border crossings are on pace with prior years though we now have an extra 400K illegal immigrants in the country since they took over?”
Who said that?
“Does it amaze you when Democrats say Trump called Nazis fine people even though this has been debunked over and over again?”
You are right he didn’t say that.
“Does it amaze you when Democrats say Ivermectin doesn’t halt COVID because Trump said it did…..and doctors around the world are using it just so”
The manufacturer of that drug says there is no sufficient scientific evidence for it’s use for COVID. https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/#:~:text=Merck%20Statement%20on%20Ivermectin%20use,%2D19%20Pandemic%20%2D%20Merck.com

The cities seem pretty unburned. On an earlier post I gave a link to people killed by right wing nuts. You never came back with data about deaths caused by left wing nuts.
Does it amaze you when Democrats say BLM is merely another civil rights organization………..which calls for violence against white people
So they have a few bad apples.
If you are amazed at how “backwards” Conservatives, you can imagine what we’re thinking.about YOU.
You made that pretty clear.
Ray Otton says
1 – Columbia, Harvard, Chapman U and others all have segregated ceremonies. Since coggege campuses are hotbeds of Leftists these decisions are owned by YOUR side.
2 – (D)’s and the media weren’t making fun of Mr. Trumps statements about drinking bleach. They were drumming up more outrage for the useful idiots.
3 – (D)’s made no secret that they were going to impeach Mr. Trump. In December 2016, (D) senators introduced a bill that would require the president to divest any assets that could raise a conflict of interest, including a statement that failure to divest such assets would constitute high crimes and misdemeanors “under the impeachment clause of the U.S. Constitution”. This was a feeble effort aimed at Mr. Trump before he took office. They sure didn’t take that action when Clinton and Obama took office. In addition, Maxine Waters (D) went on the Sunday TV shows and declared she backed impeachment before he took office.
4 – The argument that (R)s of old aren’t the same as today’s (R)’s doesn’t not hold water. You can repeat it until you’re blue in the face but by every measure the (D)’s have moved left while the (R)’s have remained essentially the same. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/pew-research-center-study-shows-that-democrats-have-shifted-to-the-extreme-left/
and https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-the-democrats-have-shifted-left-over-the-last-30-years/
5 – According to Pew Research, from 1975 to 1988, (D)’s and (R)’s had virtually identical views on abortion. 18% of voters in both parties agreed that abortions should be allowed under any circumstances. Since 1988, the parties have diverged so that by 2018, 46% of (D)’s but only 11% (R)’s said abortion should be available under any circumstances. So, again (D)’s moved further to the radical side than (R)’s moved to the conservative side.
6 – Insurrection by definition is “an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.”….Mr Trump, still the leader of the country at that point, at his rally on the morning of 1/6 said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Sell Leftist BS elsewhere. What occurred didn’t even come close to an insurrection. Most of the folks who entered the Capitol building did so peacefully, walking around taking pictures. Many of them were allowed in a side door by Capitol police standing by (it’s on the video), and the protesters killed no one.

Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be hounded out of their jobs?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be confronted in grocery stores and gas stations?
Who said that?
They ALL say that. For God’s sake, the Social Media complex banned the president of the US from their platforms. Conservative speakers have been hounded off college campuses. There have been hundreds of documented attacked on Trump supporters, as young as 9 years old.
These days conservatives are the ones who argue that the decisions by private companies to “deplatform” speakers threatens right to freedom of speech.
Until very recently, this was an argument made almost exclusively by those on the left.
What changed?
Mr. Trump’s uncanny ability to shed light on ALL THE LEFTIST LIES and generally speaking, you guys don’t like the light.
9 – “The cities seem pretty unburned”, Yeah OK. FWIW, you need a new search engine.
10 – “So they have a few bad apples.” You mean the way a few bad apples caused the 1/6 riot? You….can’t…..have….it……both….ways.
11- “You made that pretty clear”. Indeed. When a political party spews nothing but lies 24/7/365 how else should a thinking human feel?
Sorin Varzaru says
“1 – Columbia, Harvard, Chapman U and others all have segregated ceremonies. Since coggege campuses are hotbeds of Leftists these decisions are owned by YOUR side.”
You keep saying democrats this and that. I never even heard about this before you mention it and I vote Democrat. I looked into it and it does seem innocent though somewhat misguided. No wonder it’s been reported on Fox. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/posts-misrepresent-columbias-multicultural-graduation-ceremonies/
“2 – (D)’s and the media weren’t making fun of Mr. Trumps statements about drinking bleach. They were drumming up more outrage for the useful idiots.”
Sure, maybe but Trump can’t form a coherent sentence to save his life. He’s an easy target.
“3 – (D)’s made no secret that they were going to impeach Mr. Trump. In December 2016, (D) senators introduced a bill that would require the president to divest any assets that could raise a conflict of interest, including a statement that failure to divest such assets would constitute high crimes and misdemeanors “under the impeachment clause of the U.S. Constitution”. This was a feeble effort aimed at Mr. Trump before he took office. They sure didn’t take that action when Clinton and Obama took office. In addition, Maxine Waters (D) went on the Sunday TV shows and declared she backed impeachment before he took office.”
So? Trump STILL charges secret agents for accommodations. It should be illegal for presidents to own or control assets that put them in a conflict of interest situation. Draining the SWAMP. Trump is the swamp.
“4 – The argument that (R)s of old aren’t the same as today’s (R)’s doesn’t not hold water.

So, again (D)’s moved further to the radical side than (R)’s moved to the conservative side.”
Ha. “moved to the conservative side”? Moved to the other radical side. From washing post : “That some Democrats support abortion rights doesn’t mean they support “extreme late-term abortions.”
“That’s like saying everyone who ‘supports’ the Second Amendment ‘supports’ school shootings,” Katie L. Watson, a professor at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, wrote in an email.
“‘Abortion until the moment of birth’ does not exist — it’s a boogeyman abortion opponents have created to frighten voters and derail rational conversation about constitutional rights,” Watson wrote. “Nobody ‘supports’ it, and nobody does it. No patient ever asks a physician to end her pregnancy ‘the moment before birth,’ and no physician would agree to do it.””
“6 – Insurrection by definition is “an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.”….Mr Trump, still the leader of the country at that point, at his rally on the morning of 1/6 said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Poteto potato. ““an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.” There you go. We had an insurrection. A moronic one, but an insurrection. Did trump call for it? Well, he suggested it in my opinion, but he was smart enough to not make it sufficiently clear in case of a trial. Not that you would want me on that jury.
“6 – The bottom has dropped out of Immigration enforcement since Biden* took office – https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57422618. I would think as an American citizen you would be concerned over this. No border, no country.”
I am. I don’t support unchecked illegal immigration. I do support strengthening the border. I do believe that Trumps wall was idiotic. It did rile up the “useful idiots” though, so I gotta give him that.

Ray, I don’t have the education to read and correctly interpret medical studies. The company that makes the drugs says they don’t see enough evidence that it’s useful for treating covid. The FDA says the same. All my scientist friends who are qualified to read this stuff say the same. That’s good enough for me. Is it possible someone will design a study and it will convince all of these people that it should be used? I guess. Until then, if I get covid I will pass.
“8 – Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be deplatformed from social media?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be hounded out of their jobs?
Does it amaze you when Democrats call for Conservatives to be confronted in grocery stores and gas stations?”
Democrats this and that. I know a lot of democrats. None called for “conservatives” to be de platformed. If anything they called for some people who were calling for violence to be deplatformed. Some of those people were conservatives.
“They ALL say that. For God’s sake, the Social Media complex banned the president of the US from their platforms. ”
I support the right of private companies to ban people from their platforms. I am surprised you don’t. Being all about liberty? If I comes in your yard and start screaming what you think are lies, should you be able to tell me to STFU?
“Conservative speakers have been hounded off college campuses.”
Yes, how is that surprising? College kids don’t want to hear the kind of crap the conservative speakers have to say.
“There have been hundreds of documented attacked on Trump supporters, as young as 9 years old.”
I hope the attackers are prosecuted.
“These days conservatives are the ones who argue that the decisions by private companies to “deplatform” speakers threatens right to freedom of speech.”
The arguments that the companies are agents of the state is ridiculous. Trump was the president and the GOP controlled the senate. The SCOTUS is conservative. Twitter and Facebook were not agents of the state in any believable fashion. So the whole “freedom of speech” argument is bullshit.
9 – “The cities seem pretty unburned”, Yeah OK. FWIW, you need a new search engine.
Listen Ray. I don’t condone riots. I fully support prosecution of anyone that destroys stuff he doesn’t own. And I am a democrat.
10 – “So they have a few bad apples.” You mean the way a few bad apples caused the 1/6 riot? You….can’t…..have….it……both….ways.
11- “You made that pretty clear”. Indeed. When a political party spews nothing but lies 24/7/365 how else should a thinking human feel?
Ironically, I agree with the above. As I think it applies to the GOP.

One more thing about this. There are probably many ways to reduce illegal immigration. One way is the “Trump” way. He introduced the “zero tolerance” policy which made it then “necessary” to separate the children from the families as the parents were “criminals” and they had to be jailed.
Even nastier ways can be found, I am sure. You could put landmines on the border for instance. That would probably greatly reduce the illegal crossings. But we don’t do that because we’re civilized and the crime of crossing the border doesn’t justify this kind of punishment’s. I am sure there are other good reasons as well.
So yes, once biden was sworn in, the number jumped up, because , well, unlike trump, he has some compassion. By the way, based on the article you linked to it seems that the level went to the 2019 numbers.

That’s a somewhere between misleading and untrue. See link below. So Biden supported a questionable law 26 years ago. What is important to me is that he supports reforms now. To me, it’s important what you do after you make a mistake. For instance, after y’all voted for Trump, you doubled down on it despite clear evidence that he is a self centered bigot who care about nothing aside himself.

So yes, I do call out the hypocrite on his hypocritical stances and lies. Yes I do. Regardless of whom else may support said law.”
So you are accusing biden of being a leftist/communist/socialist puppet and at the same time tool of corporations? You can’t really have it both ways.
Biden was and still is a capitalist. He is politically a centrist. As such he votes for some laws that are on both side of the political spectrum. I will take that over any left or right wing extremist.

So biden stopped returning unaccompanied kids back to mexico. As a result, the number of kids in custody increased as I suspect, those kids (or their parents) prefer being in custody in US rather then be in Mexico or where they came from. Note that unlike the situation created by Trump by separating kids from their “criminal” parents, these are kids that crossed the border alone.
The question here is what is the best for those kids? Toss them back to Mexico? Or keep them in custody in US? What do you do when the facilities you have are overloaded?
Publius Americanus says
Did it ever occur to you that the best things for these kids is to be with their PARENTS?
Nahhhhhh……
And you know that there were no parents present when President Trump was in office, yes?
Sorin Varzaru says
Presumably, the parents thought the kids were better off in US custody, otherwise I expect they’d still be in mexico or in their country of origin.
Trump created his problem by instituting the zero tolerance policy which made the parents “criminals” so “he had to” separate the children from them. It appears the children in custody now crossed the border without their parents.
Devil is always in the details.
