They have been trying really hard to pass it this time... I seriously doubt it will get passed. It would be a very profitable move on thier part though.

I know one thing, it would save Cali's park system & national forests from being stolen by illegal immigrants who squat on the land and grow pot and shoot at anyone who discovers them. The Forest Service doesn't have enough manpower to kick these people out.

If you want weed, move to British Columbia.

That is weed!

Well I really hope they won't, it is their obligation as a state to protect Americans from themselves. It has been a well known fact since the 30's that Marijuana is an extremely dangerous mind-altering drug that turns hard-working honest men into murdering rapist lunatics and causes innocent women to become rampant cock-sucking sluts.

As if that weren't bad enough EVERYONE knows Marijuana is a gateway drug. Ask any crackhead, heroin addict or speed freak what the #1 reason they've completely thrown their life away in favor of hardcore narcotics and they will tell you, its that goddamn marijuana! Victimless crime? MY ASS!

Sweet Jesus, have the people behind these legalization initiatives even bothered to THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?!?!?!?!

It should be illegal to even have a thread like this.

I feel it should be legal but I seriously doubt that legalizing marijuana is going to be California's savior.

They'd do more good by not punishing every business that comes into the state with ridiculous regulations and taxes. Also, I'm not sure if California has an income tax or not but if they do, they could do wonders dropping that and going to a consumption tax. Think of all the illegal aliens not paying taxes now who would be then. Also get rid of those over the top emmision bs.

Besides how much of a "carbon footprint" are the stoners going to leave as they burn weed and put greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. I thought California cared about the enviroment.

I strongly doubt it would be worse than people who smoke cigerettes or crack for that matter... The "green"house gasses made me laugh though...
And apparently you have never been to LA...
