The entire idea that marijuana is somehow going to save California-or any other state- fiscally is actually pretty absurd when you think about it.

The crop costs next to nothing to grow, the major expense is keeping it from the prying eyes of law enforcement or other criminals seeking to steal it.

If there is a big tax on it, a tax big enough to make a dent in a state budget, it will still be a tempting racket to grow untaxed pot.

If you think lots more stoners will be a point of positivity, by all means support legalization. But don’t fool yourself into thinking that it will do anything for state budgets or reduce the costs of law enforcement.

You’re forgetting drug tourism. A lot of people from all over the world are going to come to Cali to buy the worlds best marijuana legally. Those tourists will spend a lot of money on a lot of things beyond marijuana. That all benefits California.
