I am a graduating senior at Chapman University, an aspiring law student, and an advocate for the reform of marijuana laws. My goal with this blog is to change the attitudes of people still on the fence of this issue, as well as address those who are completely against it.
I would also like to specifically address Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has experienced decreased popularity – rating under 40% – after struggling to fix California’s budget woes. Now as he reaches the crossroad of his political career, I believe it is time that he embraces his inner stoner, and the sentiments of the majority of his young constituents.
Instead of giving ambiguous answers when asked his opinion on the legal reform of marijuana, the former marijuana user should say what we all know is on his mind….
A bill has been introduced into the California State Legislature by Democrat Tom Ammiano to legally buy, sell, grow, and tax marijuana. Bill 390 would be a major boost to the state’s economy; I believe Schwarzenegger should publicly support this measure. What better way for him to rebuild his reputation than by encouraging bi-partisan support for a measure to fix our state’s budget?
