In the last year California has been hit hard by the current economic crisis. It has gotten so bad that the state has turned to unorthodox ways to raise/save money. In August the state threw a "garage sale," partly in response to an announcement earlier this year by the state Controller that tax revenue fell short of expectations by $2.1 billion and expects next year's tax revenue would fall short by $8 billion. California is hurting for cash and it's doing anything to try to stay above water. Even issuing state vendors $1 billion in IOU's. So what's the answer???
In my opinion the answer is to LEGALIZE MARIJUANA.
According to Fortune Magazine the percentage of people who responded 'yes' when asked if marijuana should be legal has almost reached 40%. Even our 3 latest presidents have more or less admitted to having smoked pot. When asked by a reporter asked if he had inhaled, President Barack Obama "I thought that was the point." So obviously there is growing acceptance for the once taboo substance.
