Legalizing for the sake of taxation is an ominous bed advocates will have to think about before hopping in.
California city approves marijuana farming
Asking Mod to change..
libtard states will be the ruin of us all.....
Additionally, who is going to guard the ag. land? This is Oakland were talking about..
plus, keeping them stoned will take the pressure off the
seriously incompetent administration of Mr Dellums and his
flunkies.
I think these are indoor grows.
Gee, what a surprise.
Why not? The state of California is in deep shit. Grow the dope and tax it.
American Gothic needs update.
Why only four? And who decides who gets a permit? Wanna bet part of the criteria will be the amount of money "donated" to certain political campaigns?
Industrial farmers with no California water rights. It is a laughable matter. LOL
The same dude who is bankrolling the Yes on Prop 19 effort is getting those commerical grow licences. At least one of em.
Yup, there are a lot of economic benefits from Prop 19.
Drug tourism will be huge if Prop 19 passes.
I’m not sure that Oakland really needs 4 huge growers, instead of a whole bunch of small growners, but that’s up to Oakland.
I’m sure that some localities will have regs that encourage a wide variety of pot in the pot stores.
That’ll lead to drug tourism much more than the same generic pot in every single store in Oakland.
