The tax revenue is sorely needed
Jeez, that blog posting (or was it?) shows up in google on 25,000 different web sites.
Whoever is doing no-on-19 internet marketing has done a good job.
“Yet this prop will not let you smoke around people under 21.”
I don’t hang around with people under twenty-one all that often…
I don’t see a problem here.
Ho sure people who smoke today are breaking the law but they well not when it becomes legal
Beacuse the government telling me what i can or cant do in the privacy of my own home is f**ing ridiculous.
Because legalization defunds narco terrorism on the border by 60%.
That is one of about a thousand reasons.
Pot is an entry drug and will do nothing but bring in a little revenue and screw up a lot of lives
California will be voting on Tuesday, Nov 2 on whether to legalize the use of marijuana by all people over the age of 21. If it passes, it will be a stunning achievement for individual liberties and states’ rights in defiance of overbearing and ineffective Federal drug laws.
But beyond the ideological and political reasons, here are some more practical reasons to vote for the proposition-
-The Federal “war on drugs” has already failed, especially in regards to marijuana. People are going to get weed anyway, so why not let them get it from legitimate growers and sellers rather than from shady drug dealers? This also has the added benefit of taking marijuana profits away from dangerous gangs and Mexican drug cartels that control the market today, much in the way that 1920’s era gangsters were put out of business when alcohol was re-legalized.
-Legalization means new legitimate jobs for the California economy. It also means profits will be taxed resulting in increased revenue for the state. Taxation from marijuana sales is predicted to be in the hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars.
– Marijuana users, growers, and sellers will no longer be arrested or jailed, which will reduce police , court, and prison operations costs.
-Marijuana is scientifically deemed to be safer than alcohol and tobacco.[1] Unlike other drugs ,it’s virtually impossible to overdose on pot, and it’s not physically addictive.
-There are industrial benefits to cannabis production as well. Hemp (marijuana fiber) can be used to produce textiles, plastics, and other products. Some products are of superior quality when produced with hemp than with the standard materials used today.
Whether you’re a marijuana user or not, it’s clear that in these harsh economic times legalization can only be good for the state of California, and for the country as a whole.
wow i stop doing weed over 5 years a go
