After decades of treating to eradicate grass it is beginning to come to mind that if it is controlled and made somewhat legal it can accomplish two things: a source of taxable income and take the huge profits away from the drug lords.
Certainly a step in the right direction.
Good stuff. But it won't stop the feds from busting down the door, tho maybe with Obama that's not such a priority anymore.
Actually, the legalization of pot in California is on the ballot for November. If it passes, the Feds won't be able to trump the law from what I heard.

Isn't drug enforcement a federal jurisdiction?
I remember when I would say it with confidence that Canada would be the first to Tax and Sell marijuana legally...
If you support less regulation for gun owners I'll support legalizing weed.

Normally yes. I mentioned that on another site some months ago and was promptly informed by more than one person that something recent was in place that prevented the Feds from interfering in CA'a marijuana decriminalization/legalization.
I can't find the thread there anymore but I'm still trying to confirm that from another source. So far, what I've found is that there really aren't enough Federal officials in California to really do much to enforce the Federal Drug laws, and CA's new legislation if it passes, will forbid local and state police from assisting in the enforcement of "inconsistent federal drug laws."

No deal. I support lots of regualtion for drugs - I'm not advocating some free for all where everybody just deals what they want. A relatively harmless drug like pot should be sold like liquor is. I guess in the states that means on grocery stores, tho not here. Heavier drugs require more strict controls, but should still be legalaized - especially heroin, which can be safely used under the right conditions. Drugs like crystal meth give me a problem, but then if speed is good enough for fighter pilots, maybe it's good enough for other users too.
Guns, sane ones, are already legal, just regulated. I think we have the mix about right in Canada, tho I don't know why people need semi-automatic assault rifles - surely not the best thing for hunting. What exactly is a problem for you regarding the regulation of guns - can't you get one if you want one? Are you a mental case of been convicted of a crime, and are pouting because you can't legally get a gun?
I didn't realize a municipal government had the ability to create laws on something that's federal jurisdiction.
Yeah, God knows that the people should have NO say in what laws they want.
There will be some interesting constitutional challenges if California votes YES in November.
