Taxing Marijuana By Chris Weigant

And make no mistake -- this is not medical marijuana we are talking about. From the wire service report: A proposed ballot measure filed with the California attorney general's office would allow adults 21 and over to possess up to an ounce of pot. Homeowners could grow marijuana for personal use on garden plots up to 25 square feet.
There are even two ballot measures to choose from. The second one is even less restrictive:
The Tax, Regulate and Control Cannabis Act of 2010 would set no specific limits on the amount of pot adults could possess or grow for personal use. The measure would repeal all local and state marijuana laws and clear the criminal record of anyone convicted of a pot-related offense...
A recent poll showed that 56% of California voters already approve of the concept of legalizing and taxing marijuana for personal, recreational use.
