(Or at least remove the federal prohibition so that regions can legalize it without federal encroachment.) Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: Clark Kent on August 03, 2016, 05:42:51 PM This bill seems unconstitutional. However, I agree with a.scott that we could simply remove the federal ban on it.

(Or at least remove the federal prohibition so that regions can legalize it without federal encroachment.) That second part would be constitutional. The rest? Telling the regions what they can and cannot ban is legally uhh...lets just say it provides a good example of why governments hate federalism and always try to take away powers from states and local governments. Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: Classic Conservative on August 04, 2016, 01:50:27 PM I won't support this bill.
Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: Clark Kent on August 04, 2016, 07:28:52 PM Yeah, Rep. Dar, I would like to propose an amended version:
Quote Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 1. No federal court in the Republic of Atlasia may issue a sentence more severe than seventy-two hours of community service and seventy-two hours of drug abuse prevention or education classes against somebody accused of any charge related to the possession, use, administration, acquisition, sale, manufacturing, or transportation of marijuana or marijuana products when said actions do not involve a person under twenty-five years of age. 2. No federal court in the Republic of Atlasia may issue a sentence more severe than one month in prison, one year of probation, seventy-two hours of community service, and seventy-two hours of drug abuse prevention or education classes against somebody accused of any charge related to the possession, use, administration, acquisition, sale, manufacturing, or transportation of marijuana or marijuana products when said actions do involve a person under twenty-five years of age. 3. The federal prohibition on the production, sale, and consumption of marijuana shall be repealed. Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: MyRescueKittehRocks on August 04, 2016, 07:55:09 PM Could the regions still keep it illegal if they so choose in this legislation?

It looks like we are allowing imprisonment of people under 25 but not over 25.

Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: / on August 07, 2016, 04:29:05 PM Yeah, the bill is a bit unclear about that, so I'm amending it as follows:
Quote Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 1. No court in the Republic of Atlasia may issue a sentence more severe than seventy-two hours of community service and seventy-two hours of drug abuse prevention or education classes against somebody accused of any charge related to the possession, use, administration, acquisition, sale, manufacturing, or transportation of marijuana or marijuana products when said actions do not involve a person under twenty-five years of age. 2. No court in the Republic of Atlasia may issue a sentence more severe than one month in prison, one year of probation, seventy-two hours of community service, and seventy-two hours of drug abuse prevention or education classes against somebody accused of any charge related to the possession, use, administration, acquisition, sale, manufacturing, or transportation of marijuana or marijuana products when said actions do involve a person under twenty-five years of age. This section does not apply to people under twenty-five years of age. 3. No court in the Republic of Atlasia may issue a sentence more severe than seventy-two hours of community service and seventy-two hours of drug abuse prevention or education classes against somebody accused of any charge related to the possession, use, administration, acquisition, sale, manufacturing, or transportation of marijuana or marijuana products if the accused is under twenty-five years of age. 4. The provisions of this act shall go into effect upon becoming law. Now, the punishments set forth in Section 2 only apply to the people distributing marijuana to under-twenty-five year olds, not the under-twenty-five year olds themselves. People under 25 who use marijuana are subject to the same punishments listed in Section 1 and no more. Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: 🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸 on August 09, 2016, 03:43:53 PM Now it's even more confusing.
Can we just scrap this and legalize marijuana at the federal level?

Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: Clark Kent on August 18, 2016, 06:35:37 PM After looking around a little, it appears that the marijuana prohibition is a DEA rule, and can (and probably should) be repealed via executive order. I am looking for a motion to table this bill, as I don't believe that the Speaker can motion to table it.
Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: Classic Conservative on August 18, 2016, 07:32:05 PM I motion to table

Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: 🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸 on August 20, 2016, 01:36:12 PM Can we substitute a flat legalization through amendment, or would that require a separate bill?

Title: Re: 1019 - Maximum Sentences for Marijuana Act of 2016 Post by: Clark Kent on August 25, 2016, 11:56:29 AM Alright, since this bill clearly refuses to be tabled, we will now move to a final vote. Representatives have 72 hours to vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.
