All I can say is that I think its very sad that chance to legalize marijuana could be defeated not by conservative but by potsmokers. That is just sad. I can hear Jack Herer rolling in his grave now.
Greed seems to be the main issue for those who oppose it. What the hell ever happen to "marijuana is evil"? At least that came from others that didn't understand the substance.
So passing the medical marijuana law was good, that put a nickel in your pocket, but legalizing it is bad because that might take a penny out of yours? So marijuana isn't evil anymore, it's "I got it and dont want anyone else to have it because that might cost me a penny"? This is classic case of a "house niggar". He thinks he's better than the rest of the nigga's because the man lets him sleep inside the mansion, and now he thinks he too owns the house. Lets get this straight: you dont own the house, you shine man shoes and take out his garbage.
Taxes: you dont want to pay taxes but you want to drive on the road. House niggar says "I dont pay taxes, the master pays the taxes". Guess what, if you own a car (first you have to have the right to own one) then you have to pay taxes to build and maintain the road. Its that simple. Or just keep being a house niggar driving the mans car. Let me clear: this doesn't you make better than the man, this makes you his niggar. He pays taxes on you, like his car, his house, and his pig in the barn.
Competition: sure there going to be the "Bud Light" beers of marijauna. I mean the end of prohibition sure did fuck up the wine industry in California. I mean, with all the cheap beer being available who the hell would shell out more money for a bottle of wine. Nobody give a shit about tast, varity in flavors, or the alchole content of wine. Shit man, they got cheap beer. Besides, everyone knows that California has the worst growing climate in the US and even if you can sell across state lines, who the hell would buy that bottle of piss. Let me be clear: you will have a market to sell your bud. That same way the organic farmer sells his vegies to Whole Foods
Tourism: um anyone one ever take a trip to Amsterdam to smoke weed? Hmm . . . can anyone say multi billion dollar boost to the California economy. But who needs jobs, or more money in this economy, certainly not the house niggar, he got a job and bed to sleep in, even if he doesn't own the mattress.
I can go on but I wont. Look this will improve your position not hurt it. And as important, it will help the rest of the US in leagalizing it as well (this is part of your market as well).
