California bill seeks to legalize and tax marijuana

this is the biggest foray into marijuana legalization i've ever seen. Sure there's places just like california where you can smoke and its basically decriminalized... Denver, parts and parts of alaska come to mind... But there are many bills like this that haven't gotten nearly as much attention in the past few years, in weird places like North & South Dakota, and other farm states, that HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN that all you'd have to do to generate a shitload of revenue was to tax weed.
