CALIFORNIA | LEGALIZATION | TAXES | RATIONAL THINKING LEGISLATION | AUGUST 2011 | Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act | Please sign the petition! The Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act of 2012 would legalize cannabis for recreational use, leaving those who grow for their own use untaxed, but taxation would be levied against those who sell marijuana. Unlike last year’s Proposition 19, this measure would require statewide regulation of cannabis under the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The measure is backed by former CA gubernatorial candidate Steve Kubby – who was one of the people behind CA Prop 215 – and former Orange County Superior Court Judge James Gray. The Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act would also direct the state and federal governments to avoid assisting the federal government in prosecuting marijuana crimes.

California could grow industrial hemp instead of importing it from other nations if a bill approved by the state Assembly becomes law. The bill won bipartisan support Wednesday from lawmakers who say it would create jobs and help farmers without violating federal marijuana laws. Assemblyman Chris Norby, a Republican from Fullerton, says "this bill is about rope, not dope."
