It seems obvious that greedy corporations, rich growers, etc., would try to take advantage of a legalized market. What can you do?

Who's taking advantage of the current illegal market? Drug cartels? Gray-area medical growers? Plain old folks just trying to make a buck?

The prop won't be perfect, and will have to be considered by local communities, but a fair process will result in at least a few cities that recognize the benefits of legalization, and work to make it profitable.

Another aspect is tourism. $80-something billion last year in Cali. It was 90-something billion a year before. How many college students would rather go to spring break where they don't have to worry about getting busted for weed any more than getting busted for alcohol? People vacation in Amsterdam just so they can toke up without worrying. How many more will come here?

Think about N. Cal wine-and-weed tours! The skiers, surfers, and visitors to Disneyland who can chill at the end of the day with a few tokes and not worry about getting busted and all those hassles.

Yes, there will no doubt be giant, greedy corporations trying all kinds of tricks to control the new market. We can regulate that. There will be more laws coming down the road. This is just the first step.
