Without reading the whole article yet........... I wonder if they legalize it if people will just grow it at home in their organic gardens, thereby bypassing the whole taxation scheme !!!  LOL  That would be seriously funny....

“All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George Orwell

"California Legislator Sees Benefit in Legalizing Pot

SAN FRANCISCO -- A state legislator proposed legalizing the sale of marijuana
in California, saying the plan would generate more than $1 billion annually for
the cash-strapped state.

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano introduced a bill Monday that would legalize possession
and sales of the drug for people aged 21 and older. The legislation would impose
regulations and taxation similar to those for alcohol sales. Federal law makes
it a crime to possess or sell marijuana, so the measure, if passed, would likely
face an immediate legal challenge.............
