Assemblyman Tom Ammiano will announce legislation on Monday to legalize marijuana and earn perhaps $1 billion annually by taxing it.
Quintin Mecke, Ammiano’s press secretary, confirmed to SF Weekly that the assemblyman’s 10 a.m. Monday press conference regarding “new legislation related to the state’s fiscal crisis” will broach the subject of reaping untold — and much-needed — wealth from the state’s No. 1 cash crop.
Mecke said Ammiano’s proposed bill “would remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21.”
The bill would additionally prohibit state and local law officials from enforcing federal marijuana laws. As for Step Two — profit — Ammiano’s bill calls for “establishing a fee on the sale of marijuana at a rate of $50 per ounce.” Mecke said that would bring in roughly $1 billion for the state, according to estimates made by marijuana advocacy organizations.

How to, reduce/minimize/avoid, abortion:
The majority of abortions
are because of “unintended” pregnancy.
“Unintended” pregnancies are
avoided with birth control and education.
The “Church” must embrace
birth control and education.
Overpopulation is a
serious threat to world peace.
Statistics on “abstinence-only sex education” show
girls are eight times more likely to allow “oral”
and six times more likely to allow “anal”.
The “Church”, in forbidding birth control,
is promoting overpopulation and ignorance.
The “Church”
must change position.

I saw naked children
running on the beach
joyously soaking in the sun
oblivious to the seemingly important.
Left with only the now
we become aware of the moment.
Clearly seeing the present
life reveals its miracle
neatly arranged dominos
all ready to fall.
