Quote:California: Oakland City Council Endorses Statewide Pot Depenalization Initiative

Oakland, CA: Oakland city council members voted this week in favor of a resolution endorsing the Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 – a statewide November ballot measure.

The measure seeks to allow adults 21 years or older to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal use. It would also permit local governments the option to authorize the retail sale and commercial cultivation of cannabis to adults. Personal marijuana cultivation or not-for-profit sales of marijuana would not be taxed under the measure.

City officials voted eight to zero in favor of the resolution. Oakland is the first city to formally endorse the proposal.

Now this is what I'm talking about...
Is this a big hole in the dam of prohibition?

Oakland's very pot-friendly... It's great to live next door!
They also won't stop you for it at the airport, or alert the airport on the other end of your pillow-sized bag of medicinal pot.

That being said, I don't see this as a surprise. It's great news, though.

There is a piece of NorCal here in SoCal, it's called Venice beach. They're all crazy looking potheads haha. I love NorCal though.
