Subject: 90 gallon set up it all has to go
Posted: October 14 2018 at 7:55pm

$500 OBOI'm selling my entire set up. 
Tank, stand, refugium, reef octopus skimmer, 60 lbs rock, sand, mars aqua LEDs, BRS 6-stage RO/DI (needs new media), two little fishies phosban reactor, filter socks, nets, and other little goodies.
A friend should be taking the livestock this week but if you are interested soon, let me know and I'll keep it up to keep the rock alive for a while. Otherwise, once the coral and fish are gone I'm going to tear it all down and store it. There is green hair and aiptasia here and there. I just haven't been keeping up with the maintenance. I'd rather just sell it all together but I'll part it out if I have to.

Thank you for your vote Kevin!
Shawn - That is a well thought out response. I understand your concerns about the affirmative defense, but I'm glad that is there because it will take time for the framework of dispensaries etc. to begin getting medicine to patients. In the meantime, if Prop 2 passes, patients can use marijuana without fear of being labeled a criminal. I'm sure it will not be easy to get a case dismissed unless you have a true condition you can prove to the court. 
The growth of plants is a valid concern for many, but you can only grow if you are many (I forget how many but I want to say its about 100) miles away from a licensed dispensary. This portion of the law was meant to address the adequacy of distribution in the rural areas of Utah. Considering how big our state is, some kind of rural exception would need to be made no matter how a medical marijuana law is written. Also, growing yourself may create some excess that will spillover into the black market, but anyone can tell you how alive and well the black market is right now. Marijuana is so easy to get, a few extra plants in Milford (or any other rural area), will not cause marijuana to suddenly become easily accessible. 
And you are 100% right, this law in no way changes the penalties for illegally possessing marijuana. It will still be illegal to smoke in public (unless you are experiencing a medical emergency), and definitely still illegal to consume recreationally anywhere. 
Please continue researching and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Is this law perfect? None are. But, is this by far the best we have seen in this state (and there have been many failed attempts over the past 5 years by our illustrious legislature)? Without a doubt. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons, and it is time we think of people's pain and suffering before holding out for some perfect bill.

I thin most of the opposition is coming from the "Affirmative Defense" statements in prop-2.

I have read most of prop-2 and don't claim to understand it all. I think these are intentionally written to make them hard to understand. But, according to my understanding (not from news media):


1. It does maintain penalties will continue to exist for illegally owning, using, or distributing cannabis or cannabis devices.


2. It does claim the state may NOT invest resources to prosecute cannabis users, based on it being illegal at a national level, if you in accord with state laws...Basically, Cannabis is still illegal (federal laws). But, the state won't enforce the federal laws.

3. Insurance companies and the medical field may NOT withhold treatments, services, or benefits, if you are using Cannabis legally

4. The "Affirmative Defense" statement is disconcerting. But, I "think" it only applies until 1/1/2020...Basically, if you get arrested for possession/use of Cannabis. The case will be thrown out of court if you "could be" allowed to use it after 2020. My understanding is this makes it hard for law enforcement as they have to assume you have it legally...But after 1/1/2020, you will be required to carry your "Cannabis Card" to provide proof of innocence.

5. The ability for individuals to grow their own Marijuana plants is also disconcerting. Obviously, there are requirements. But, it seems to be less controlled than a licensed "grower". Do they have the ability/expertise to process it into medically/legally approved forms? Are the regulations/reportings sufficient to prevent them from distributing their "excess"?

Overall, I am totally OK with medical Cannabis. I'm torn about prop 2, mostly because of individuals being able to grow their own marijuana plants.

I will be bringing my son out to see a couple of tanks.  I hope to see some tanks I haven't seen before.  
If you haven't seen Brad's tank, you gotta go!  Also, Allen Bishop, down south.  You will learn something if you go see these guys!

Thank you Trigger and Zack. I personally appreciate your vote on this issue.
Hogie - Your views are the exact exaggerations and lies that have me so fired up on this issue. There is NO law that will allow shaggydoo (my name is Aaron by the way) any relief in any form. The current Utah law you are referring to has such a narrow scope it will help very few, as it is set up to help only those with 6 months or less to live. Unfortunately, I plan on being alive for longer than 6 months, and to add insult to injury, my doctors have not given me a terminal diagnosis. If only I had a shorter time to live so I could get some help.
I do agree with you that people should read the laws. Go read the current law that Trigger linked above and decide for yourself if giving a band-aid to a dying person is enough help? Then go read Prop 2 and decide which bill actually gives real relief to real patients.
Finally, it is simply absurd to tell people to disregard personal stories in this debate. The personal stories are the driving force on this issue, and the only reason we have a Prop 2 in the first place. I don't want to live in a society where we ignore the plight of our fellow man.
Everyone - Here is the meat and potatoes of this issue. Prop 2 gives medical (not recreational) access to marijuana when prescribed by a doctor for the following qualifying illnesses (taken directly from the full text Prop 2): HIV, Alzheimers, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer, cachexia (or other physically wasting chronic disease), Crohn's disease, epilepsy, MS, PTSD, autism, a rare condition that affects less than 200,000 Americans, chronic or debilitating pain, and when a physician determines a person is allergic to opiates. There is also a process set up for individual consideration on a case-by-case basis by a Compassionate Use Board.
So in summary, if you believe in medical marijuana, and you would like to see people with the debilitating conditions listed above receive help: Please vote YES on Prop 2!

I'm personally know several people who's lives have been destroyed by opioids from addition to arrest to death overdose. I'm glad there is an alternative to help ease the pain that isn't as dangerous or addictive as opioids.

BUT, in response to it not being available or being illegal, did you know that the CURRENT Utah law requires that by January 1 2019, cannabis has to be grown in the state, processed into it's medical form and then be available to be distributed for sale to those who are medically need it?

So, in less then 2 months, shaggydoo will be able to legal get their medical marijuana with no change to the current law.

I would not tell anyone to vote for or against medical marijuana, but I would highly recommend READING prop 2 so you can form your own opinion and not just listen to stories from people on either side of the issue. Become informed on the issue from the source, then make your own judgement call.
Okay, excuse my ignorance, which may be due to me living in California for two years. No, I did not know that there is a current Utah law on the books for that.  I'm sure I can google it, but what bill is that?  If you are correct, which I'm sure you are, then yes I will take a deeper dive into Prop 2.
Knowledge is power.
