yes, and repeating my reasons for doing so..

>> Less burglaries and robberies committed by addicts who can not afford the high street prices of illegal pot

>> Fewer cops needed to arrest pot smokers

>> Fewer jails needed to house arrested pot smokers

>> Fewer judges needed to preside over court trials

>> Fewer bailiffs needed in court trials

>> Fewer defense lawyers needed and subsidized by tax payers

>> Fewer court buildings to try pot smokers

>> Fewer criminal gangs making profits on selling pot

>> Bring in additional tax revenues on legal sale of pot

>> Pot is illegal now, and it does not stop any one from obtaining it

All fantasy. The downside will be worse. CA’s already a mess, if this passes, forget it. We’re on a steady slide to the left anyway, it’s a shame to have this issue lost to them as well, but I guess it’s inevitable.
