I would be incredibly surprised if this comes anywhere near passing, but it's certainly a great stepping stone. If nothing else, it shows the idiots in Washington DC that public support is changing away from prohibition and that legalization isn't a political death wish.
But on the off chance it does pass in Cali, I could see the rest of the Pacific coast following right in their footsteps: there's already talk of further decriminalization in Washington state.
*EDIT* I'm also surprised at just how much publicity this is getting. Every year for the last couple years, Rep. Frank of Massachusetts introduces basically the same bill on Congress and nothing ever comes of it, not to mention the media not even mentioning it. However, with this Cali bill, it actually made the local Bend Oregon news this morning. I don't know if it was just a slow day in the news or if it signifies something greater, but here's hoping. |

| 50$ an ounce is pretty much the standard price for good weed in CA already. |

| So a 50$ tax on an ounce of weed, thats pretty reasonable. I'd buy state sponsored over the black market, the weed made for the medical dispensaries is almost always excellent quality if you buy from a good spot. ( my brother has a medicinal card). |

Medical marijuana advocates were celebrating Thursday night.
The U.S. Attorney General has announced plans to end raids on medical marijuana dispensaries that are legal under state law.
Newly installed U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder declared he would stop the practice established by the Bush administration of raiding legally licensed medical marijuana dispensaries.
The Drug Enforcement Agency will now cease the raids that have continued, according to reports, even after Bush left office.
Holder said Obama's campaign promise to stop the raids is "now American policy."

Funny you posted this--hopefully the fact that it was published 30 minutes ago means it is more serious. I watched Marijuana Inc. last week (A CNBC documentary on the U.S. pot industry). They made a point of showing that, despite current administration claims that they were going to end these raids, that they were, in fact, still occurring with some regularity. Hopefully there is some progress being made here. My glaucoma is killing me. |
