Possible 2010 Ballot Initiative to Legalize Pot
Proponents of legalizing pot have begun collecting signatures to place an initiative on the 2010 ballot that would decriminalize marijuana in Oregon. Sounds groovy, right? Well …
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission would manage the program, which would license approved individuals to cultivate the product for sale.
Oy vey! If you thought the OLCC’s alcohol regulations were asinine, just wait until they have control of weed. Even if passed, I wonder how effective the program would be when citizens are given the choice between trying to navigate all of the OLCC’s sure-to-be maddening regulations or just going to a black market dealer.
A similar initiative might end up on California’s ballot this November.
