Legalization of pot makes the ballot

Don't worry about the police...kick back, relax, and enjoy your marijuana -- that's the message that proponents of the California measure to legalize the drug are trying to say. Other messages? Soften drug laws, make it legal, don't be so uptight about it, it's just a fix.

The initiative to legalize marijuana will make the ballot in the November California election, officials stated last week. The measure, known as the "Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010," will allow individuals 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and to grow up to 25 square feet of the drug per residence.

The bill will also give cities or counties in California the authority to institute laws that will allow the sale, distribution, and cultivation of marijuana in order to increase revenues -- a key that proponents are saying will boost the economy.

Opponents of the initiative are concerned that legalizing marijuana will increase addiction to the drug and also cause additional violence along the Mexican border. Like alcohol, which was once banned in the United States and then legalized, they argue that marijuana usage will be widespread, increasing criminal activity and creating social problems in the long run. ........(more)
