BREAKING NEWS!!!

State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) has introduced a bill in the state legislature to legalize recreational use of marijuana in California.

Under the law, mary jane would be regulated and TAXED just like alcohol and cigarettes. People over 21 would be allowed to grow, purchase, and possess marijuana for personal use.

California already has a medical marijuana law. I've never lived in a state with so many sick people. Everyone I know has a medical marijuana card. California has also decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. And San Francisco City Supervisors passed a resolution years ago ordering SFPD to not enforce marijuana possession laws.

Let's hope this bill makes it through, and let's hope Arnold doesn't veto it. It's about time government recognizes marijuana for what it is....a recreational drug that is less harmful than alcohol and certainly less harmful than cigarettes.
