SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) _ No tie-dye was on display at a standing-room only hearing held by a California lawmaker on Wednesday in a bid to get his marijuana legalization bill taken seriously.
Instead, suits and sober discussion were the rule at the state Capitol as Assemblyman Tom Ammiano presided over what his office said was the first legislative consideration of the issue since California banned the drug in 1913.

All those criminals and gangbangers will get jobs and be respectable members of society if this passes. /sarcasm
They can't, or won't give their names, they can't write down necessary insurance information, on and on and on.
If you render them unconscious you can usually get their billfolds out and check up on stuff though.
Does California want to immunize the rest of us against criminal or civil charges regarding what we will have to do to with these guys?
Laugh if you must, but even the existing medpot program has put a large dent in the smuggling from Mexico.
not a bad idea at all. it´s legal in the netherlands for example and they have not faced big problems because of that (beside that visiting amsterdam has become very atractive for the european youth).
I’m opening up a few Chee-tos manufacturing plants if this passes...
And Soros!!!!
lol.
Pot is not smuggled, most of it is probably grown right here.
Ask the same silly questions about a roaring drunk... obviously the answer is CALL the COPS unless acting alone in defense of life and limb (if in Texas, defense of your car may also count).
I have also read that the existing policy on medical marijuana has caused a financial strain on the Mexican drug cartels.
You can’t smoke tobacco in public in Holland anymore.
Say what you will the Dutch are definitely eliminating dopers one toke at a time.
I think the ‘people’ down there will end up trafficking to Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas instead to make more money.
Still, I support American made, #1 cash crop of Kentucky over any mexican skunk weed anyday.

*shrugs*
It certainly helped when they ended Prohibition.
Say what you will the Dutch are definitely eliminating dopers one toke at a time.
Hope that clarifies what's going on.
I'd advise you to hang onto your wallet while blowing dope or visiting the whores.
No senor. Quite a lot of pot traffic involves Mexico.
Somebody is going to have to kick in the doors of the homeowners who grow marijuana and don't pay the tax.
You know that's how gun control really got rolling, right? $200 tax on the sale of $10 guns. Sure, you can buy the gun -- but BATF will kill your family if you don't pay the tax.
The state of California may legalize marijuana, but the result is not likely to be pleasing to anyone -- the state is not doing this because it wants to make people happy. It wants to make people pay.
The reason pot smuggling is down is because more of it is grown here. Not because of any MediPot scam.
Roaring drunks ~ I am inclined to let them run out into traffic. Aren’t you? Dopers are different ~ they wanna’ be your buddy.
I would be happy to furnish Soros with all the pot he could smoke for 200 years. Then he might leave us alone.
