"Furthermore, consider that all controlled substances in our county (alcohol, tobacco, firearms, etc.) have grown to develop powerful legal, lobbying and political divisions that seek to reduce corporate liability, weaken regulations and influence public elections to increase profits and market share. Grievous harm and criminal acts inflicted under the influence of controlled substances occur without corporate accountability. Are Golden State citizens to expect anything less from a legitimized marijuana industry?"

WTF? Sounds like he's talking about Walmart...

I bet I could find a pro big industry story he's written in less than 5 min on google. What a hypocrite

I hate the way this guy states his facts, many w/out any source, to sway the reader:

"Surrendering to drug dealers and the billion-dollar international drug trade is not the fiscally conservative, tough-on-crime solution"

-lol spending billions is now 'fiscally conservative'

"more related crimes are committed in firearm and alcohol friendly nations than those that are not"

-it's called freedom

"According to a report released by the Marin Institute last summer, the total economic cost of alcohol use is $38 billion annually, with $8.3 billion shouldered by government agencies for health care treatment of alcohol-caused illnesses and injuries, crime costs, traffic incidents, and reduced worker productivity."

-so is this article about cannabis or alcohol, because he makes a great case for illegalizing alcohol.

"45 percent of state residents have tried marijuana, and of those who have abused drugs in the past year, nearly half (42 percent) stated they were not ready to stop using."

-And what percent abused drugs? No numbers there, but half of them aren't ready to quit (what a shock!)

"KeepComingBack.com poll found that of those state residents that have tried marijuana, 51% first experimented before they turned eighteen years of age."

-Which has nothing to do w/ the fact that it's easier to get than regulated tobacco or alcohol.

"San Diego families are safer under a nation that is committed to fighting the social ills that exist today, rather than endorsing new ones that we can live without."

Our familes are safer when the govt gets out of our business and lets us live our lives in peace.
