I'd like to see it legal also, but not so Cali can tax it to get themselves out of a problem they created. Why should I pay for that?

Actually its not really legal in Holland, its just not enforced, though I think you are on the right track, if we want free marijuana, we don't have to tweak the law, we have to do the same as in Holland, you have to convince the police not to arrest MJ users, LEAP is a good way to do so, if they had the money they could get to enough police, so my advice to you americans, stop begging congress to treat you right and start talking to the police.
The other day I was making a delivery, and I went to a baseball field to deliver, I got there and I see about 40 people just drinking alcohol and dancing reggaeton, I mean they were wasted, and they invite me to stay a while, so I did and started drinking a few beers, some hard drinks, anyways, when Im leaving they start telling me not tell anyone that I was drinking with the cops. And I started thinking like wow they were cops and I didn't figure it out myself, I always think I can spot a civilian cop, but there they were, 40 of them and I didn't notice, and I thought, cops are our neighbors, they are people like you and me, they do the same things and go through almost the same things as we do, they hate the government too, thats why they can't protest, they can't go on a strike or they get arrested, its illegal for cops to go on strike. So, what is easier to get:convince a politician who ignores you because his salary depends on it to legalize marijuana, or to convince our own people, our own neighbors, cousins and friends who became cops to ignore MJ users?
We have to reach to the cops, we should protest in front of cop stations and cop events, and radio shows, online and tv, we have to tell them to not be idiots and stop arresting their own non-violent non-criminal people. We have to educate the cops, not the politicians. Convince your own people, convince yourselves.
Thats the way I personally think we can reach the goal, but begging politicians to take their hearts out of the closet and put it on? Sit and wait boy...
