    First of all I believe marijuana should be Federally legal to every state that votes for its use. California barely has control of pot crops without the Feds trying bust in and steal the herb. Pot is harmless, its just the people who can't handle their smoke and cause problems (like drunks) for every one else, people who really make a mess of things are the gangs that are involved with pot and old hypocrites who don't want pot to legal even though they you'st to smoke. But if people could be fair to the stoners pot could be used recreationally like alchohol, but safer.

    I'm torn. If California wanted to legalize it, they should have done it a long time ago. But as far as taxing it. There are huge issues with that. Like, why wouldn't you just grow pot instead of paying for it. How would the cops know the difference between "store bought" weed and "home grown" weed. It's a pointless piece of legislation because quite frankly, I don't care. I don't smoke pot so it doesn't matter if it gets passed or not passed.

    Making it illegal doesn't seem to stop anyone. And it keeps the price high, which makes it attractive to criminals. If it were made legal, the price would come down, criminals would lose interest, the government could tax it for revenue, and we wouldn't watse money locking millions of people up for smoking. Sounds good to me.

    They should. It would be one heck of a tax source for a tanked California economy.

    IT SHOULD STAY LEGAL AND IF CALIFORNIA TOOK MORE CONTROL OF IT OR THE THE GOVERNMENT, THEY WOULDNT BE IN SUCH A HOLE. ITS A MULTI MILLION TO BILLION $ INDUSTRY.
