Proposition 420: Proposal Outline


Proposition 420

The U.S. Homeland Economic Management Proposal


Section 1: Medicinal Cannabis


Purpose:      To allow for Patient prescribed use, cultivation
and possession of Cannabis products for
Personal Medicinal reasons;

The patient is to determine whether or not Cannabis is needed or should be used as a Medicine of choice for pain management, appetite stimulation or any other ailment or benefit which Cannabis has been suspected or proven to assist with.

Purpose:      To establish the method of and the dosage of
Medicinal Cannabis use;

Being that dosage amounts work differently for each individual, even for the same individual at different times, for different reasons or through different consumption methods, and that potency is both non-lethal as well as uncontrollably variable depending upon the product acquired or cultivated, it is impossible to prescribe specific 'doses'. Therefore, the Patient must be in charge of their own dosing and the method of consumption.

Purpose:      To establish the amount of Cannabis to be
either cultivated or possessed by a Private
Citizen for Personal Medicinal use;

Recommended amounts would be sufficient, either in the form of product weight and/or live plants, to allow for lack of ambulation and/or inability to acquire Cannabis for Medicinal use.
 

Section 2: Legalization


Purpose:      To allow for adult individuals to possess, cultivate
and use Cannabis without fear of prosecution;

The Private Citizen should be the one to decide whether or not they need or would like to use Cannabis as a Recreation or Medicine of choice without fear of Federal, State or Local prosecution.

Purpose:      To establish the amount of Cannabis to be either
Cultivated or Possessed by a Private Citizen
for personal consumption;

Recommended amounts would be sufficient either in form of product weight and/or live plants to allow for lack of ambulation and/or inability to acquire Cannabis for Medicinal or Recreational use.

Purpose:      To establish an immediate Amnesty for all individuals
currently incarcerated on non-violent Cannabis
related charges;

It is cost prohibitive as well as morally suspect to incarcerate a single Citizen at the tax-payer expense, both in costs associated with incarceration, loss of tax revenue and destruction to the core concept of the American Family.  Issue immediate release and complete pardons for all Citizens currently incarcerated in the United States on Cannabis related charges.


Section 3 : Economic


Purpose:      To allow and encourage Hemp/Cannabis Production
and Cultivation for use in all available spheres in
which Hemp/Cannabis may be established as an
economically viable product;

Encourage the exploitation of Hemp/Cannabis in all Industrial or Marketable capacities and encourage both Individual as well as Corporate participation.



Purpose:      To establish Hemp/Cannabis as a National Security
Resource;

Recognizing that Hemp/Cannabis cultivation is to be essential to National Economic Security, establish 'protectionist' measures to ensure Domestic cultivation as well as manufacture of all processing and cultivation machinery to be done within the borders of the United States.  Non-U.S. Hemp/Cannabis products as well as equipment for the cultivation and/or processing of Hemp/Cannabis should receive restrictive and prohibitive tariffs.  Goal is to ensure U.S. dominance in the Hemp/Cannabis industry as well as ensure required equipment production is not outsourced to potential strategic or economic competitors.

Purpose:      To establish and allow for taxation of Hemp/Cannabis
related products;

Developing a method of taxation specific to Hemp/Cannabis consumption separate from all other taxes or duties and to establish permanently flexible rates of taxation to allow for economic stimulus.  Taxation rates should be established on a flexible scale for both State and Federal Governments.

Purpose:      To identify, establish and declare where monies
received from the taxation of Hemp/Cannabis related
products are proportioned;

Establish a permanent and unchangeable description of where monies received from Hemp/Cannabis taxation are to be disbursed.

School  Teachers to achieve a 20:1 maximum
Student/Teacher ratio nationwide;

A percentage of the total revenues acquired from the taxation of Hemp/Cannabis would be set aside with the intended goal of Recruiting, Training and Hiring of Public School Teachers so as to achieve a maximum Public Classroom Student (K-12) to Teacher ratio of no greater than 20:1 nationwide.

Purpose:      To allow funds for continuous purchase and upgrade
of educational materials for Public School

25% to establish Universal Health Care

Purpose:      To establish a general fund from which all United
States Citizens receive 100% Universal Health Care;

A percentage of the total revenues acquired from the taxation of Hemp/Cannabis would be set aside with the intended goal of establishing Private Health Care Accounts for every U.S. Citizen. Citizens would have available to them $X amount per year to spend as they choose on medical procedures.  As an example, each citizen would receive a $100,000 credit account annually.  This amount would not accumulate but each year would reset at the base amount.  These funds would not be accessible to the Citizen either directly or as collateral, but only as credit for medical procedures. The assumption is that balanced between the majority who would not need their entire annual account amount, there will be enough funds available to allow for those who need more expensive treatment to receive such treatment in excess of their annual allotment without penalty to their Personal Medical Account or to the availability of funds for any other Personal Medical Account.

Purpose:      To allow each U.S. Citizen to access their Personal
Medical Accounts for medical procedures of their
choice at medical facilities of their choosing;

U.S. Citizens would have Choice in what Medical Procedures they need or desire. U.S. Citizens would have Choice in the Medical Facilities they visit.  U.S. Citizens would have Choice in what Medical Professionals they would see.  The goal of such Universal Choice would be to stimulate and encourage fair market competition in Medical Procedure pricing schedules.

Purpose:      To assure continued opportunities for the Insurance
Industry within the health care community;

Being that no Industry has the right to exist beyond the market need for that Industry, the established Personal Medical Accounts will eliminate the need for Private Health Insurance.  The Insurance Industry, if it so chooses, may continue to offer that service regardless of consumer need.  The Insurance Industry will be encouraged to establish and offer as a service for sale the Management of Personal Medical Accounts at the Consumer's request.


Section 3, Part E

25% to National Infrastructure Upgrades

Purpose:      To fund development of an alternative bio-fuel and
delivery systems nationwide;

A percentage of the total revenues acquired from the taxation of Hemp/Cannabis would be set aside with the intended goal of creating an "Apollo Program" focused on the development of a viable Hemp-based uniform bio-fuel similar to the Nation of Brazil's use of cane-based bio-fuel.  A portion of the funds would be used to subsidize local fuel delivery systems nationwide until the market becomes self-sustaining.  The goal is to eliminate national dependence on fossil-based and overseas acquired energy sources.

Purpose:      To establish needed infrastructure upgrades
nationwide through Locally awarded contracts;

A percentage of the total revenues acquired from the taxation of Hemp/Cannabis would be set aside with the intended goal of promoting, through Locally awarded contracts, nationwide upgrades and repairs to the nation's infrastructure.  Along with upgrades and reinforcement of the existing national infrastructure (such as electrical grids, bridges, dams, highways, levees, etc.), an opportunity will be created wherein new technologies can be integrated into or replace existing ones.  Locally bid contracts for any work as well as labor forces will be considered first in all applications to ensure and promote as wide a disbursement of financial benefits as possible throughout the Nation.

9% to Military Veterans and Active Service Families

Purpose:      To ensure that families of Active Service Military are
provided livable and sustainable funds;

A percentage of the total revenues acquired from the taxation of Hemp/Cannabis would be set aside with the intended goal of providing a base of funds to financially assist the families of Active Services Military Personnel to ensure that such families never have to resort to conventional welfare programs or 'pay day' loans to pay their basic support expenses.

homeless;
