California Assembly Bill 390 (Marijuana legalization act) delayed again?

Silverbackman · 04-03-2009, 01:08 AM

There was supposed to be a vote on March 31st I think for California Assembly Bill 390 (Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act). Has there been any news on this bill....did they push the date to another day yet again? Or did they vote already?

: ( worst news for the movement
best news for mass. if they become 1st state
even if not, more people are realizing and speaking about the pros.

Mass. probably wont pass, California probably wouldn't have either. These bills are mostly ice-breakers to get politicians thinking. Even so, this extra year will give it plenty of time to gather momentum. Hopefully.

I wonder if they look at it as a race and if they see an advantage to being the first state to legalize it. Certainly, many jobs would be created, therefore bringing in more people to live, work and pay taxes within the state. Plus that state would make a killing in tourism. They're probably punching out a list of economic benefits as we speak.

Except this race is all tortoises and no hares. I wonder when it will finally happen.

haha, good point. I guess "race" is an overstatement. In any case, I'm gonna make a friendly wager that Cali gets there first. The support appears greater over there at the moment.

I'll side with you on that one. Although now they'll need to find a way to keep a public and political debate going for another year.

...It'll all be good.

Can someone give a link to where it says that it'll be pushed to early 2010? Can't find many articles on this.

I suppose this will give some time for momentum to build up. BTW, now that this has been pushed to next year can the bill be modified? For example lowering the age they have planned from 21 to 18, which is far saner IMO.

18 as the legal age may look better in most peoples eyes but you got to think about how much easier it will be to pass 21 as the legal age than 18. There are some states that are even considering raising smoking cigarettes from 18 to 21 so if legislators went in with a solid 18 it would most likely get denied. Plus if it gets pushed in at 21, it can always be amended which is always better than it not being passed at all.
