It's much easier for politicians to sit back and let a creeping de facto legalization move forward slowly, so eventually a full legalization under a regulated system will not be a big deal.

Posted the article yesterday what said MJ was a $1.5B business here in '05. By way of comparison, the 2009 Ag report sez total ag production was $144M. Of that, wine grapes were $79M. The dying timber industry was next at $25M, the lowest figure since '65. Don't know if the even deader fishing industry is covered. Our ag commissioner used to put the estimated MJ crop in there, too. co.mendocino.ca.us found this on another thread. NPR...Stoners against The Legalization of Pot npr.org
