Ammiano Introduces California Bill to Decriminalize, Tax, Regulate MarijuanaCalifornia Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) today introduced a bill to decriminalize, tax and regulate marijuana. Not medical marijuana -- all marijuana.
Everybody needs to support this. Everybody. Legal marijuana in California means money for the state economy at a time when the global economy is collapsing, and it means innocent people not having to go to jail.
It would also be a major blow against organized crime.
Official: Mexican Drug Turf War has Led to a Surge in ViolenceRobert Pastor, a Latin America national security adviser for President Carter in the late 1970s, calls the problem in Mexico "even worse than Chicago during the Prohibition era."
He said a solution similar to what ended that violence is needed now.
"What worked in the U.S. was not Eliot Ness," he said, referring to the federal agent famous for fighting gangsters in 1920s and '30s. "It was the repeal of Prohibition."

From the hilarious Joe Rogan BlogCigarettes kill over 400,000 people a year in this country alone.
Alcohol kills over 75,000.
150 people die all over the world each year because coconuts fall on their fucking heads.
