Effort to legalize marijuana makes California ballot | The Compost Bin | Forums

I don't touch the stuff but don't understand why this isn't legal everywhere, the use of medical cards is a joke, here in Maine all you have to do is say the right words to your doctor and he will give you one.

It’s official: Come Nov. 8, Californians will be voting on whether to legalize recreational marijuana.

An initiative that would allow adults to consume cannabis became eligible for the ballot Tuesday, after election officials verified it had received more than the required 365,880 valid signatures.

If it’s approved by voters, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act will allow Californians 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, up to 8 grams of concentrated cannabis and up to six plants.

The citizen-driven initiative builds on the state’s new medical marijuana regulations, with provisions for licensing, testing, labeling and advertising.

The campaign has raised more than $3.5 million so far. That includes funds from Silicon Valley billionaire Sean Parker and Irvine-based Weedmaps, plus other legalization supporters.
