I know that many steps would have to be taken but it really could work

http://www.hulu.com/watch/54312/cnbc-originals-marijuana-inc Very lengthy but very interesting It could make money, can't remember the projected figure off the top of my head (didn't read the story but I'm sure it is in there). Does that mean it will be legalized? No, but states are moving that way (still will be illegal federally, probably no getting around that). I've studied marijuana quite a lot, interviewed college professors that did studies on it (large and small scale), I've read about the studies they did in the U.K. and Amsterdam (this was by far the best done in our history). Problem is...a lot of the population is still ingrained with the 60's and 70's scare tactics that illegalized it in the first place.

One guy on this video has a small garden and says he pays the state of California $900,000 in taxes for the sale of his pot

I thought I heard something about Schwarzenegger putting a team together to review it. If so, I would be interested as to what they find.

This show tells the story of the legalization, the money they spend to fight it, medicinal use, the Hemp stores in Cali...it is very, very interesting
