I just read an article on NPR where moms and cops want it legalized and stoners don't. It would get Cali out of debt and hopefully create some jobs.
Cali's pot is a $14 billion dollar industry whereas the second highest earning commodity is milk at $7 billion. It would save 1 billion just in prisons and Oakland anticipates it would net $12 million per year.
The stoners obviously don't want the tax but it will also put the local growers who are off the grid to lose their job essentially.
