Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

[webheart]

It’s about time.

[CindyDawg]

Well that's thinking out of the box lol

[rhombus]

Hahaha like the Federal Gov’t is going to allow a State’s Right such as this? Of course the only smarter thing California could do to raise revenue is to allow some drilling off the coast but, hey... one step at a time.

[demshateGod]

All the freepers sympathetic to the Pot Party (Libertarian) will applaud this. This could be the handbook on how to destroy a civilization though.

[Lord_Baltar]

It’s about time.

How much money do we waste every year (since 1937) trying to keep Marijuana illegal?

[pnh102]

Finally.

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

I think this is a good move, and LONG overdue. Tax it, and control it, as you can only do if it's legal! Crippling gangs’ raison d’etre is a bonus!

[al baby]

No it will also help the snack food industry big time

[Political Junkie Too]

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, said the cash-starved state could generate more than a billion dollars by taxing pot growers and sellers.

But still no drilling for oil.

Uh oh, here come the pro nanny-state Freepers to lecture us all on why the government should be allowed to decide what is “good” and “bad” for us.

[Mojave]

Now the Obamessiah is the hope of the dopers too.

[Nachum]

Well, at least tax the heck out of it then!

[rhombus]

John Galt smokes weed out of a bong made from Reardon metal.

[tubebender]

This will devastate the economies of Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt counties and it will cost a Billion dollars to bail them out. They could get five billion instantly by allowing drilling off shore...

[byteback]

Combine this with a snack tax and we’ll be back on track.

[notaliberal]

YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!

[FreedomFerret]

About time. I’d love to know just hom much money has been wasted since 1937 attempting to keep it illegal. Pretty obvious how ineffective it’s been.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Not a user but, hey why not? It’s not going away.
People are touted as criminals in some cases.

And above all..... tax the hell out of them.

Of course the DEA might not want to give up their cut.

[Wiseghy]

I, for one, would prefer not to drive on roads with lots of potheads as well as drunks.

[I Hate Obama]

Are people seriously going to be buying government taxed pot? People would grow their own rather than pay taxes. Now the feds are going to arrest the people not for possessing the drug, but for not paying yet another tax.
