The Tax and Regulate Initiative has far more than the nearly 434,000 signatures needed to make the statewide ballot, said Richard Lee, well-known Oakland medical marijuana entrepreneur and the initiative's main backer. Campaign organizers say they will submit more than 650,000 signatures of registered voters next month.
The proposal would legalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for adults 21 and older. Residents could cultivate marijuana gardens up to 25 square feet. City and county governments would determine whether to permit and tax marijuana sales within their boundaries.
Tax the hell out of it. :thumb:

The libs out here are pulling all stops to make all tobacco products illegal...under the guise of health concerns...

...and doing everything they can to legalize smoking marijuana.

Sucking smoke into your lungs is not healthy no matter what form it is in. But you can't convince me that marijuana is as bad for you as cigarette smoke. Apples and Oranges.

Fantasy...
my delusional friend pure fantasy - tobacco isn't going anywhere and you know it, you just throw posts like this out there...

Because two dozen ding-bats form a group - get a thousand signatures - make a cardboard sign - and write a letter does not mean that the 25 Million liberals presently living in California give a sh!t about tobacco - as long as people aren't smoking inside... that battle is over...

:nod:

You're starting to come across as a senile old nut... :rofl:

I've never smoked even 1 cigarette, but smoke has never really bothered me, even in the days it was allowed in the office. :twocents:

I think this issue will pretty much be unanimous on this board.

Only in theory, pwns. I will probably support de-criminalization for practical reasons as the least evil, but everyone forgets about the negative side effects.

I absolutely hate the attraction and affect of the dope subculture on my kids and on society in general. I do not favor the Chinese policy of executing drug users, but this is one of the reasons they will continue to absolutely kick our asses economically.

Don't the anti-smoking rules and regulations apply to pot smoking as much as they do to tobacco smoking?

Not if it's for medicinal use.

A few weeks back, a local reporter walked into pot "dispensary" asked where to get a medical "prescription" and was referred to a local clinic. He walked in, paid $95, told the attending NP he had a back ache, and 30 min. later had a prescription.

There's nothing legit about the folks who want to legalize it...they'll lie, steal, break any law, or fabricate any excuse to get stoned...

...which is why I'm against it.

Stoners have no integrity.

You don't think people would do the same kinds of things to get alcohol if it were illegal?
