Incredibly, early reports of the Gov. Schwarzenegger's forthcoming proposal to trim the prison budget suggest he would rather reduce penalties for crimes like auto theft, receiving stolen property, or writing bad checks than for offenders charged with growing even a single marijuana plant or selling a joint. The governor's plan would change some property crimes that are currently charged as felonies to misdemeanors, but, bizarrely, leave felony penalties for victimless marijuana offenses intact.
Ironically, Gov. Schwarzenegger recently dismissed the idea of taxing and regulating marijuana as not being worth the $1.4 billion in new revenue it would bring to the state, but now he's trying to tell us that reducing penalties for car thieves is a perfectly fine way to save a few bucks. No wonder confidence in state government is at a record low in California.
This I can not believe, what the fuck is he thinking. If people would just open up their eyes and realize that yes criminalizing marijuana was a wrong move on our nations behalf. its time to man up and do what we can to fix what is wrong with this country and it starts with lifting prohibition of marijuana. NOT loosening laws on actual crimes
