Get ready Californians…we’ll all soon be able to vote on the legalization of marijuana. Plans are in the works, says Oaksterdam University’s Richard Lee, to submit an initiative to the secretary of state to legalize the recreational use and taxation of pot statewide. “We’ve already hired a professional petition firm to take start collecting the signatures,” Lee says.
The new initiative would allow adults to possess up to a full ounce of weed throughout California. And, it looks to place the control of growing, selling, and taxing cannabis in the hands of individual cities and counties.
“It’s patterned after Texas liquor laws, which leave it up to cities and counties to decide if they want to be ‘dry’ or ‘wet,’ “ Lee said.
The overwhelming popularity of Measure F to increase the tax on marijuana has given rise to this initiative which could eventually legalize marijuana for all adults in California.
Right on! Wake up the stoned giant!
DATS WATS UP!!! YALL NEED TO TRY TO DO THE SAME SHIT FOR TEXAS
There are not enough motivated people here in Texas to get something like this to happen. We had two bills inteoduced this last legislative session that didn’t even stand a chance. The first 1 was to allow doctors to prescribe medical marijuana and the second was to lessen the penalty of small amounts of marijuana to a maximum $500 fine with no jail time. We couldn’t even get the Texasrepresentatives we voted in to office to take it seriously or inform themselves about cannibus. You want this to happen in Texas? Get involved and get your friends involved too.
YAY TEAM…Dat’z only PART a’ da REASON why We Hella LOVE OAKLAND!{( 8K
