I thought that the polls were interesting. Also... seemed they assembled the very best estimates of the ECONOMIC IMPACTS, and the size of the national market that I've ever seen. (Best guesses placed it at smaller then the alcohol market, and smaller then the tobacco market... perhaps about 1/2 the size of all tobacco sales.....)

Highlights of the November CA Referendum: California will vote on the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 in November. Among the referendum's provisions, it: • Allows people older than 21 to possess up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use. • Allows for the cultivation, in plots no larger than 25 square feet, and transportation of marijuana for personal use. • Enables local governments to tax the estimated $15 billion in marijuana transactions each year. • Allows local governments to maintain prohibitions on marijuana, much like a dry county would alcohol. • Permits the Legislature to develop a statewide regulatory system for commercial cannabis. • Bans public consumption, possession on school grounds, smoking in front of minors and providing marijuana to those younger than 21. • Maintains prohibitions against driving under the influence of drugs. cnn.com
