Jerry Brown and California Democrats have handed the GOP a unique opportunity, if they have the guts to take it.
California has drawn a lot of attention in the past because of its initiative and referendum system, which gets controversial issues on the ballot so that the voters of the state can make decisions their elected representatives are often afraid to take a position on. We're going to see more fireworks this fall when Californians get to vote on Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010.…

I agree with Shelby. Richard Lee stands to get some type of benefit through this law. And there's far too many restrictions. But I will vote for it because it's somewhat of a step forward in ending the war on drugs. What I REALLY hope for is Assemblyman Ammiano's A.B. 2254 to start picking up momentum. It passed the last committee it went to, and I believe they may bring this one to debate in the fall. AB 2254 is a slam dunk. Prop 19 is just a babystep forward.

This Prop. is garbage. Give the cities the control to "Tax and Regulate". Ha, look what Rancho Cordova is trying to do. They showed thier hand too soon. They want to impose a "Personal Consumption Tax" on your grow space. $600.00 per sq. ft. Does anyone think that their city won't do the same ? People are BLIND not to see what is really going on here. Not FREEDOM...MONEY !!!
