All those criminals and gangbangers will get jobs and be respectable members of society if this passes. /sarcasm

One question ~ if we have a fender bender and the offending party is high on pot do we get to beat down on them ~ there's just no reasoning with these pukes otherwise.

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?

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).

The state is going to have to hire a lot more workers --

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.

I live in Ohio where one can have up to 100 grams (a pretty large amount) and it's only a minor misdmeanor - like jaywalking.

As far as I'm concerned, at this point, they might as well legalize it & make some money off it.

If California would legalize pot and develop the Northern California pot industry into an export business, they could solve their budget shortfalls. Combine that with releasing all those incarcerated for marijuana and there might even be a budget surplus.

Of course I haven’t really worked the numbers on that and I am pretty stoned at the moment, but it sounds like a plan that would work ...

Be right back ... going to get some chips ...

I know there's a reason why marijuana should remain illegal, but I can't seem to remember what it is.


(there's a very good reason why they call it dope)

Legalize it. Tax it like any other farm crop. Some will grow their own, so be it. Others will sell it, so tax it and regulate it like tobacco. Apply the same rules to weed. DUI? Treat it the same as every thing else.

You drink Beer, Wine or Scotch? Don’t tell me I can’t smoke my ganja. It’s none of your dang bid’ness.

Just do it. Legalize marijuana in California and it will be a test state. If everything goes well, the rest of the U.S. should legalize marijuana. Doing right is doing right. And there is no wrong in a substance, only in the hearts and minds of man.

Frankly, marijuana can’t make a good man go bad.

Marijuana legalization just another rest stop on the freeway to hell.
