Over the years, CA has already decriminalized MJ. You can be found with less than an ounce now and not even get cited. This is all about the taxes.
Yes it is about taxes, our little quite county in the foothills has become a screaming mess. Every piece of land that is available is turning green. Just wait tell the harvest and get a smell in your face, cannot even describe the odor. All because our poor little county was poor and did not want to be any longer. Over the years they have fought every legitimate business that wanted to come in because of anti growth, which I am for to a extent. They found out that every office of the county could make money. Every empty warehouse of any size being bought up for inside growth. It is sickening to see what is happening. With absolutely no regard to the outcome to our way of life and out Children and Grandchildren. Even our Sheriffs dept asked them to please not to do it that crime was going to go rampant. But all the fat cats could see was dollar signs.
