Pot to be on Cali ballot in 2010…now don’t go getting baked and forget to vote, ok?
Huge Signature Gathering Success Sends Pot Legalization to Ballot
The Tax & Regulate Cannabis 2010 campaign has just achieved a major victory in its efforts to legalize marijuana for all adults in California — they have gathered the signatures necessary for inclusion on the state’s November ballot.
“This is the next step to sane cannabis policies and the end to the hypocrisy and unjust prohibition of cannabis,” pot entrepreneur Richard Lee told me Monday morning. He is the co-proponent and a major sponsor of the Tax Cannabis initiative and the force — and money — behind Oaksterdam, the successful marijuana-friendly section of Oakland.
This win means that Californians will be the first in the nation to decide whether they believe marijuana ought be taxed and regulated for all adults over 21, much the same way alcohol is.

let’s hope the legislatures do the same thing with weed that they do with beer and wine, allow a little brew/grow your own.
is making pot legal any thing like the pope and Galileo? the pope (congress/legislatures) is supposed to be infallible. legalizing pot would make them fallible. expect resistance, no matter how much sense it makes.
any one with a brain knows that dope is illegal for all the wrong reasons. that propaganda and scare mongering were used on a fear filled public.
should charges exist for driving under the influence? certainly. but making a weed in a ditch illegal was nuts on the face of the thing. then spending 80 years worth of budgets trying to eradicate it and charge with crimes people who use or sell, even crazier.
