Pot legalization will most likely appear on the next ballot for the next California election. I predict it will pass. Oakland is already being called the "Amsterdam" of California. A new medical marijuana facility just opened by the Oakland airport.

It is eying taxes on marijuana as a possible revenue. In order to do that either federal pot laws also have to be overturned or California might have to secede. Hmm, the latter might not be a bad idea as it is said if Californians paid what they now pay to the fed in taxes to the state it would be out of debt in no time. Put that in your chillum and smoke it.
