I don't smoke pot really so I don't have much of an opinion on whether or not it's legal, but California does have a huge debt problem and could use the revenue, if you look at it from that perspective.

Nice job searching. I mean, it was all the way on the second page. |

If you want to alleviate the overcrowding problem in prisons, release inmates who are doing time for marijuana crimes, mainly possession. It's ridiculous. Pot doesn't hurt anyone. That's a good 30% of the prison population out, and in CA, that's a significant relief to the burden.
If you want to increase revenue to the state, decriminalize and regulate pot. Make dealers licensed and tax them. Use a lot of the barren farm land in the middle of the state where the old farms have dried up and start planting hemp. We want to "go green," yet we won't cultivate this incredible resource? No wonder we as a nation are broke and stupid. |

(wiki: California Proposition 19 (2010) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) I support the bill, and if I lived in CA, I'd vote in favor of it. |

States being stripped of jurisdiction over issues is a double edged sword. The Federal Government was given the power to tell you that you can't smoke pot so that they can turn around and tell other people that they can't have slaves.
Everybody cries for state's rights when the Federal Government stops something they want and everybody cries for federal control when the states allow something they don't like. Hard to care about weed when America's relationship with drugs is really warped. Even our relationship with alcohol has always been weird. That's far past any reality here anyway; conservatism has a strong grip on VA. I'm over here trying to get this stupid city to stop inflicting Eric Cantor on the nation, but probably to no avail. |
