Twenty years ago, California became the first state to legalize medicinal marijuana use — and it took a referendum to pass the law. Since then, California has fallen behind the curve a bit, as other Western states like Colorado, Oregon, and Washington have legalized recreational use as well. Given California’s somewhat lax requirements for medicinal referrals, taking that final step might be more formal than substantive — but voters will get the chance to take it in November nonetheless, and they will have a Facebook executive to thank for it:

If you are going to legalize “medical” marijuana, you may as well legalize it completely. In California every other kid has a doctor-issued pot card. Its a scam.
So now they are pushing “medical” marijuana in Florida. As I say, its a scam. Legalize it, or don’t. Just know that you can’t build a republic with potheads as your citizenry. But you can’t build one with your average Dem as your citizen either.
Legalize = quit the charade of medical mary jane.
For your Interest.
Nevada currently has plans for, I think, 43 “dispensaries” around the state. I believe 4 authorized in Reno, a couple in some of the more rural areas and the majority in vegas. I’m sure the revenue stream will cause more to be authorized before it’s all said and done. Remember when there were doctors on TV promoting a particular brand of cigarettes? Will we have the same now and then 50 years from now “studies” will find how detrimental this was? Not that there aren’t already studies out there indicating this. And have been for a long time. I know a couple of people that have the “medical” cards currently. It’s BS. They stay loaded all the time. But it relieves some pain or another.
It will be interesting to see if the quack lobby fights this, and how hard. They are making a lot of money writing MJ scripts for hurt feelings.
Colorado legalized MJ due to the migration of “hippies” from Kalfornica went there and polluted the mountain state, now the “leftovers” that can’t move to Colorado want the same rights.
Pot goes on the ballet to bring pot heads to the voting booth. Can’t imagine which party benefits most......
And who didn't see that coming? "Medical" Marijuana always was a vehicle for legalization.
Hallelujah, cuz there isn’t enough dopes voting as it is!
The _Raich_ incident & ruling still stands.
Medical pot is legal in CA, but the feds still executed a violent raid to seize six pot plants from a terminally ill old lady raising them for her use under a doctor’s prescription & supervision, and SCOTUS upheld the raid.
The whole state based “legalize pot” movement succeeds at the whim of the President.
Choom yeah!
TAXES. That is what it is about.
Considering that California is the land of nuts and fruits; I’m surprised they haven’t already.
I think the last attempt failed because of a super-majority requirement.
Nope. It was a straight up or down vote.
So that's how they won!
