Schwarzenegger open to debate legalizing pot
Reply
Posted 2009-05-06, 09:29 AM


Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he is open to debate the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in California, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

His remarks come as a San Francisco lawmaker has introduced a bill to regulate marijuana like alcohol, with people over 21 years old allowed to grow, buy, sell and possess cannabis, the newspaper says.

An analysis by the State Board of Equalization says the proposal to impose a $50-an-ounce levy on sales of marijuana would boost state revenues by about $1.3 billion a year.

Schwarzenegger, in responding to a reporter's question, says it is not time to allow the state to regulate and tax pot, but adds, "I think it's time for debate. I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues -- I'm always for an open debate on it."

In 1996, California voters legalized marijuana for medical use with permission from a physician, although this still violates federal law

First thing I do when I am out of the Army is getting my pot card so I can smoke anywhere in Cali.

I love Arnie. He always gets a damn + in my book half the time he's on TV. Unless he's being persuaded to talk about GIRLY MEN. We'll see where this ends up going, I hope his office gets filled with ideas and the debate is kept at the front of the agenda.

The money they would get from taxes would boost the economy in Cali. Not to mention lower crime rates. Jail/Prison crowding would lessen from the pot dealers they wouldn't have to put away.

The effects of legalization would be so drastic that were it to seriously happen somewhere, it would soon happen everywhere when everyone realizes how great of an effect it would have on the economy.

That's all fine and dandy, except they can't tax it untill it's federally legal. Pretty much federal government gets a court order for the state's tax records, raids all the dealers that paid taxes. Of course if the state decriminalized, then one would assume that the senators and representatives from the state would push federal legalization.

Like K_A said, if one state does it more will follow shortly after. Denver is almost the same way, apparently. It just needs to happen soon, and quickly. They could EMPTY the jails of all the nonviolent offenders, which would also seriously be a huge drastic change.
