Legislation introduced to legalize marijuana

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano will announce legislation to legalize marijuana and earn perhaps $1 billion annually by taxing it. It's highly ambitious, though I see very little chance of this passing.

Mecke said Ammiano's proposed bill "would remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21."
