    I’m all for cannabis legalization in California, as well as all other US states. This silly prohibition must end soon. Everyone who wants to smoke it does anyway, so why waste time and resources on something that was politically inspired to protect competing corporations and corporations who benefit from arresting people for carrying minor amounts.

    Good for them. I hope other states will follow and prohibition ends. Perhaps it will help curb the opiate addiction crisis one day, and cut the big pharma’s.
