California has paved the road for medical marijuana users like myself (not in a MJ-friendly state, however), and now they will pave the road to a better economy for a nation on the brink of collapse.

Legalize Marijuana, Balance Budgets

I think pot which is a herb, a natural medicine. alone penicilin which is made with mold , and pills of the unknown. what would be the harm of a plant that grows from a seed we all are wanting to go more natural then what has become a big mess with other medicine that has killed more then enough people than we could imagine. my honest opinion is pot is not harmful in any way. alcohol, and ciggarettes are one of the most deadly of all. I HAVE EXperienced all. The way the econemy is right now, This would be the right time to lealize marajunna. As i recall back in 1937 or around that time pot became illegal because of one guy desided it was harmful. which never before experience the effects of the natural plant..THE out come should be based on facts. thank you.....

Not only Cali, but the whole nation could become whole adn in the blac for once witrh pot legla. It is stupid to let this black market economy exist. If only Cali did it, then 90% of the nation will move to Cali to live adn be free. All other states will follow ASAP to keep their populations and to make cheap easy money off the taxes.

You would see inner city kids drop out rate go away becasue they would never be able to make easy money without a high school degree. Inner city crime will go away.

To make pot legla is the best thing the USA could ever do.
