A self-described Conservative Orange County Judge predicts 5 beneficial effects that would immediately occur if a bill such as California Assembly Bill AB 390 were to pass. AB 390 would regulate and control cannabis in the same manner we do alcohol. He also describes what he finds to the greatest obstacle in the path of marijuana decriminalization. On the above link, there's another video just over 10 minutes where he speaks about his courtroom experiences.

If weed becomes decriminalized, then the weed that comes from Mexico (a lot of which finances the cartels down there) won't be worth as much to the US market, as domestically grown weed will essentially flood the markets. Yet another excuse to buy local. The cartels would have a hard time making solid profits.

I signed a petition for a ballot initiative for legal weed yesterday. Fingers are crossed that it makes it on the ballot.
Let's hope that's what you actually signed on to. A few years ago, a false petition was being circulated by hard-line right-wingers. Those who signed the fake petition had their voter registrations changed without their consent. (And the right bitches about ACORN...) Of course, I don't think someone would be stupid enough to try that again (not that there were any repercussions for those who committed that act of voter registration fraud).
