The story SF Weekly broke on Friday is true: Assemblyman Tom Ammiano will announce legislation on Monday to legalize marijuana and earn perhaps $1 billion annually by taxing it.

Quintin Mecke, Ammiano's press secretary, confirmed to SF Weekly that the assemblyman's 10 a.m. Monday press conference regarding "new legislation related to the state's fiscal crisis" will broach the subject of reaping untold -- and much-needed -- wealth from the state's No. 1 cash crop.

Mecke said Ammiano's proposed bill "would remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21."

The bill would additionally prohibit state and local law officials from enforcing federal marijuana laws. As for Step Two -- profit -- Ammiano's bill calls for "establishing a fee on the sale of marijuana at a rate of $50 per ounce." Mecke said that would bring in roughly $1 billion for the state, according to estimates made by marijuana advocacy organizations.

DAMN cali really needs to pass this... not just because i wanna smoke legally but because we really do need this economically

this will be a legitamite bail out for us

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Not gonna happen.

 

[TLALOC]

As much as I would love for it to happen I have to agree, that it probably won't happen.

that would put alot of dealers out of money.


money that they put into the economy.

 

[0R0]

I hope not,I don't want to pay taxes for weed,having my drug money going to pay for new squad cars and shit,fuck that I'd probably start growing my own IF the bill is passed.

 

[montroller510]

why you guys gunna hate on me and my dreams

i fucked you mom is just jealous because cali is ballin an yall suckas


even tho our weed comes from there that will soon change when we pass this

and i really dont think we have a choice this is pretty much last resort for us

its either this or cali is gunna go bankrupt

... no... it would just give them a legitamite proffession and if they couldnt adapt then they deserve to fail

the drugs will still be bought by some people and we would make even more from tourists and people who dont smoke due to job and legal retribution

people are talkin about making the base price very low so we can tax it ridiculously

like a 100 dollar ounce then a 100 dollar tax on it


and it would be legal to grow your own but no one will because they can get it at smoke shops and liguor stores

 

[TLALOC]

That wouldn't be bad...... As long as the quality is real real good!!!!

 

[montroller510]

thats my fear is they will regulate the quality

 

[montroller510]

this topic is hot right now so i can actually see it passing

people are panicked and that leads to change

if it's cheaply sold in stores , with the outragous prices the club got , they can go fuck themselfs

 

[BOOBOO619]

I don't even smoke, but I say fuck it, pass it. I HIGHLY doubt it happens. 1 billion a year still ain't enough.

if it does pass (highly unlikely) its still going to be regulated. you wont be able to go for a smoke break and smoke weed. no one is going to want to work with someone super high or have them interact with customers. you can't smoke it in buildings, etc. itll have more restictions then cigs do.

$100 an ounce? So they're just legalizing bammer?

exactly it will be more like alcohol thats why the age is 21

no smoking and driving probably and im sure there will be other regulations as well

$100 an ounce? So they're just legalizing bammer?

if it is legal then they can start HUGE scale operations and it will cut costs dramatically

 

[|GOD|||ZILLA|]

hope this passes before april so i dont' have to re-new my card.. lol.. and then i'll just grow weed.. fucken no one can complain 'cause it's fucken legal now.. i'll never pay taxes.. and free weed.. sounds good.. for me.. bad for cali.. unless.. they just made weed so cheap that it would be stupid to grow our own.. like beer.. i mean.. 5 dollar grams.. 100 oz of top shelf.. the more i think about it.. the more fucked it seems... imagine the lines at the clubs. if anyone can go in.. we seriously would need one like every 10 miles like a liquor store... i dunno.. i guess we'll have to to see wtf they're thinkin'.

i would think that liquor stores would capitalize off it

 

[Bro$eff]

this has a good chance of passing in cali

 

[skilz151]
