Added revenue from citations should go directly to law enforcement to fund continued efforts against illegal traffickers

There are many well-heeled professionals who smoke pot and probably won’t mind paying a little bit more money if it means losing the criminal status.

Just because something is legal does not mean the government advocates it, as with alcohol and cigarettes.

But then I look at my state government (Michigan) and I realize it is not any better. :(

In all my life I never thought that would happen.

A third alternative would be to for California to secede in the name of the right to smoke pot. I kind of like the latter idea best.
