While the nation is suffering from a financial crisis, the marijuana business is booming. With more than 2.5 million Californians using marijuana monthly, it is the state's number one cash crop, worth $14 billion per year.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's bill to regulate marijuana like alcohol would generate more than $1 billion per year in tax revenue to the state of California. It would also save the $1 billion that is currently spent enforcing marijuana prohibition.
How will this affect our children? Currently, minors find it easier to buy marijuana than alcohol or cigarettes because drug dealers don't ask for ID. We've seen youth tobacco use drop as a result of age restrictions and eduction, and the same will be true with marijuana.
Don't pass up $2 billion per year in order to keep waging a failed war on marijuana. Please support A.B. 390.
Sincerely,
