California toques the lead on legal pot!
Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 12:07AM 
Economist story on how California always leads with new rules, and always leads on pot, so inevitable the two strains shall meet in this age of stressed state public finances.
Not that America leads the way on decriminalizing pot--far from it. We're bringing up the rear in the Core.
A bill now working its way in Sacramento: treat pot just like alcohol.
I think this is the path we're on.
Much shturm und drang to follow, but I see this happening eventually.

I'm not necessarily against the legalization of it myself, but I've got to wonder how employers will handle this, especially those in business where safety is paramount. Truck drivers, machine operators, pilots, etc. There will also be a good amount of bureaucratic regulation and taxation surround it all. I doubt it will be a big smoke up like the proponents naively believe it will be.
