A proposed ballot initiative in California to legalize marijuana for people 21 and older, and to let local governments tax the sales, has "a good chance of passing," according to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
"People are no longer outraged by the idea of legalization, and truth be told, there is just too much money to be made both by the people who grow marijuana and the cities and counties that would be able to tax it," he writes in a column for the San Francisco Chronicle.
Constituency pommeled like spam on your Twitter, there are four lights! The reality of the situation is local governments would eventually fail under socialism and outsource control of food and water supplies to well funded drug cartels. If purity is down and prices are up, it's no wonder Sacramento wants a piece of the action.
