I have mixed feelings about this. I agree with California as a “State’s Rights” issue. I’m not sure I agree with legalizing pot, though. It’s one of those things; if it fails there’s no way to put the Jeanie back in the bottle. It will be like enforcing prohibition after booze was legal for two hundred years.
The genie is already out of the bottle.... people smoke pot as they please and the law is a joke..... it would be different if nobody was smoking pot now, and legalization would cause everyone to start smoking pot... they already smoke, this will just stop the act of wasting time and money hassling people over it....

Booze wasn’t just legal for 200 years; it has been integral to human social experience for millenia. Marijuana will never reach that level, in my opinion. But it does have its adherents, so how about we simply wait less than 200 years to re-outlaw it?
