1. *Puff * *Puff* Pass...

3. Much bigger than just wanting to get high. A lot of us don't indulge frequently or even ever

but still recognize that it is a long-overdue development.

And it stands to bring CA significant tax revenue, on the order of ten figures.

7. My primary reason for supporting it is our overcrowded jails.

Enough already. At least decriminalize it--everywhere. It's the dumbest reason to lock someone up, and only serves to make private prisons money.

9. Agreed. I'd like to see an end to the drug war.

13. My primary reason

Is the end of
Prohibition is long overdue. I grew up in Humboldt county. I have a deceased friend found in a pot "farm". Farm is a joke. They are not farmers. They are guerilla growers. Growers that need to be licensed, taxed and regulated. I'm tired of paying for them

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Agreed, although I can tell you from watching it in action, legalization works.

Works just fine. Sky doesn't fall, tax revenues go up, really very little changes except that.

2. As am I and I stopped smoking it over 30 years ago

I use to sell pot in Los Angeles. Friends of ours grew it on a farm where they were care takers.

They brought us garbage bags full every couple of months.

I saw nothing wrong with it then and I still don't. For me an alcoholic and drug abuser I have stopped using but I never felt my problems are the experience of the majority.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. certainly, and different paths are for different people.

I haven't drank for decades, myself, but I recognize that prohibition of alcohol doesn't work.

5. Like Cypress Hill said....."Legalize it"........

6. Peter Tosh

I guess I'm old.
