I don't understand why this is so hard. Legalize marijuana with certain stipulations.

1. If a company drug tests for marijuana, they can continue and reserve the right to fire an employee who fails that test or shows up "stoned".

2. All government employees are still test for marijuana and can lose their job for failing that test.

3. Anyone receiving any form of government aid cannot consume marijuana and will be subjected to random drug screens.*** (Assuming they start doing random drug screens on welfare recipients)

4. Anyone arrested for possession or distribution of marijuana before it's legalized has to serve the remainder of their sentence.

Have it regulated by the ATF and taxed at a fair %. So the states can also profit on the tax, but not so high that Johnny drug dealer off McKinley St. becomes the best option to buy from. Set a possession amount and anything over that will be deemed "product for sale". So people will have to file and obtain a grower's license to posses over the set amount (plants included). If no license and over the amount, then there will be a $$ penalty for not paying the tax on that amount and for not having a license.

Boom. Problem solved. Let's go blaze.

There are two kinds of people who oppose legalizing marijuana: (1) those who are opposed to it on moral/religious grounds and (2) those who profit from keeping it illegal.

As a non-user of marijuana, I say frick both groups. There is no legitimate reason to keep it illegal, and there are plenty of reasons to legalize it.

One obvious solution staring the state in the face with undeniable stats from other states that have done so. It wouldn't completely resolve the matter, but it would sure as shite make up a huge chunk of the deficit.

But LA won't do that of course.

Support.

But it would only make a nice dent in the budget hole and not enough to cover it.

Because they're the only state in a thousand miles in almost every direction that has legal weed. The more states that legalize, the more that number will go down.
