Legalize Marijuana – It’s Time for California to Grow Up



Marijuana prohibition sucks. Alcohol is legal, but weed aint?! Come on man, how stupid is that? How many people are killed due to alcohol each year? I’ll answer that. Hella people get killed each year due to alcohol use. On the other hand, Marijuana helps the economy. Smoke some good Purple and what do people do? Chill out, watch a movie or whatever and go BUY some food. See, helps the economy. California could be the first state to do things differently. Fuck the Feds. The good people of California voted to legalize Medicinal Marijuana, but the Feds still want to fuck with the operators of the establishments who provide the service. Makes absolutely no sense. California could not legalize marijuana unless the federal government alters its current prohibition, which appears unlikely.

Again, fuck the Feds. "It's time to acknowledge that marijuana prohibition has been a catastrophic failure and we need a new approach," said Aaron Smith of the Marijuana Policy Project's California branch. Peep game, more marijuana is grown in California than any other state. It's already the state's biggest cash crop--it's just not legal. Here’s the deal, California has a major industry operating under the radar…a black market so to speak.

California could legalize marijuana and reap the financial benefits. The majority of people already know marijuana is waaay less dangerous than alcohol which provides hella taxes for the state of California. There are so many people in jails and prisons for marijuana possession….it’s just ridiculous. Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco has introduced legislation for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. The only thing I don’t dig about his bill is the $50 per ounce tax. Damn, $50 dollars.

You can get a nice chunky eighth for $50!!! My folx can get a fat ounce of Bomb for about $350…maybe a lil less. The $50 tax is too much, but the idea of legalization and taxation is right on track. Let’s use some common sense and stop making the selling and smoking of Marijuana a criminal activity.

California should be a leader and show the rest of the country how to get down. The federal government never gets ANYTHING right. So again, fuck the Feds. THEY need to smoke some of this West Coast Bomb and chill out. Ya’ feel me?

California budget deal to free 27,000 inmates


By Michael Rothfeld and Patrick McGreevy
July 22, 2009
Reporting from Sacramento -- Less than 24 hours after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders announced a plan to close California's massive budget deficit, Los Angeles County officials moved to sue the state, a union for government workers said it might strike, and Republicans threatened to back out of the deal over a provision to cut the number of prison inmates by 27,000.

The governor largely stayed out of sight, except for posting a brief video on Twitter in which he played with a big knife and talked about autographing state property to be sold at auction to raise extra money. Legislative leaders, meanwhile, began to brief their members, and staff started compiling a formal proposal in anticipation of a vote that could occur Thursday.
