Schwarzenegger asks: What if pot was legal and taxed?


By Kevin Yamamura | The Sacramento Bee

As California struggles to find cash, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday it's time to study whether to legalize and tax marijuana for recreational use.

The Republican governor did not support legalization – and the federal government still bans marijuana use – but advocates hailed the fact that Schwarzenegger endorsed studying a once-taboo political subject.

"Well, I think it's not time for (legalization), but I think it's time for a debate," Schwarzenegger said. "I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues, I'm always for an open debate on it. And I think we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs, what effect did it have on those countries?"

Schwarzenegger was at a fire safety event in Davis when he answered a question about a recent Field Poll showing 56 percent of registered voters support legalizing and taxing marijuana to raise revenue for cash-strapped California. Voters in 1996 authorized marijuana for medical purposes.

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, has written legislation to allow the legal sale of marijuana to adults 21 years and older for recreational use. His Assembly Bill 390 would charge cannabis wholesalers initial and annual flat fees, while retailers would pay $50 per ounce to the state.

The proposal would ban cannabis near schools and prohibit smoking marijuana in public places.

Marijuana legalization would raise an estimated $1.34 billion annually in tax revenue, according to a February estimate by the Board of Equalization. That amount could be offset by a reduction in cigarette or alcohol sales if consumers use marijuana as a substitute.

Schwarzenegger welcomes debate on marijuana tax
AFP


LOS ANGELES (AFP) – California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would welcome a debate on taxing marijuana sales but said he remained opposed to legalizing the drug in the state.

Schwarzenegger was speaking just a few days after a recent Field Poll indicated a majority of Californians supported legalizing the drug, a move that would help raise valuable tax revenues for the cash-strapped state.

Asked if it was time to legalize marijuana, Schwarzenegger told reporters on the sidelines of a wildfire awareness briefing: "No. I think that it's not time for that, but I think it's time for a debate.

"I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues, I'm always for an open debate on it.

"I think that we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs, what effect it had on those countries, and are they happy with that decision?"

Under California law, marijuana can be prescribed for medicinal or therapeutic use, a policy which puts the state at odds with federal law that prohibits all use of the drug.

Former Hollywood star and bodybuilder Schwarzenegger said that any decision to legalize marijuana should not be taken solely to raise revenue.

"... just because of raising revenues, we have to be very careful not to make mistakes at the same time," he said.

Schwarzenegger welcomes debate over legalizing pot


By Steve Gorman Steve Gorman – Wed May 6, 5:48 pm ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Tuesday he welcomes a public debate on proposals to legalize and tax marijuana, which some suggest could provide a lucrative new revenue source for the cash-strapped state.

The Republican governor, whose term in office expires at the end of next year, was asked about the idea of treating pot like alcohol at an appearance in northern California to promote wildfire preparedness.

"No, I don't think it's time for that, but I think it's time for a debate," he said. "And I think we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs, what affect it had on those countries, and are they happy with that decision."

The former Hollywood actor, who has admitted smoking marijuana in the past, cited his native Austria as a country where "they want to roll back some of the decisions that were made in European countries."

He said a decision to legalize marijuana, which has been outlawed in the United States since 1937, should not be made on the basis of raising revenues alone.

Schwarzenegger's comments come days after a statewide Field Poll found that 56 percent of California voters support the idea of legalizing cannabis for recreational use and taxing its proceeds.

A bill introduced in the state Legislature by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a Democrat from San Francisco, would do just that -- permitting taxed sales of marijuana to adults while barring sales to or possession by anyone under age 21. A similar regulatory structure already exists for alcoholic beverages.

Ammiano said his proposal would generate up to $1.3 billion in revenue for the state, which faces another multibillion-dollar budget shortfall just weeks after a landmark deal closing a $42 billion deficit.

He and others who support legalizing pot say such a move also would improve public safety by redirecting law enforcement efforts to more serious crimes and would end environmental damage to public lands used for illicit cannabis cultivation.

But in 2004, Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would have eased rules on how much medical marijuana patients can possess in California.

Voters in California, the nation's most populous state, became the first to approve the use of marijuana for medical purposes in 1996, putting the state at odds with federal law.

Under the Bush administration federal agents stepped up raids against medical marijuana dispensaries in California and other states that have passed similar laws.

But U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in March that the Justice Department under President Barack Obama has no plans to prosecute such dispensaries in those states in the future. However, Obama, who also has acknowledged smoking pot in his younger days, recently dismissed the idea of legalizing marijuana on a national level.

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants debate of legalising marijuana

Article from: The Daily Telegraph


May 07, 2009 12:00am

ARNOLD Schwarzenegger has declared that it's time to study whether to legalise and tax marijuana for recreational use, though he's not yet advocating for such a change.

The California Governor, who is a Republican, was asked about a recent Field Poll showing that 56 percent of registered voters support legalizing and taxing marijuana to raise revenues for cash-strapped California.

A Democrat from San Francisco Tom Ammiano has proposed legislation that would legalise the drug for recreational use, rather than just medical purposes.

"Well, I think it's not time for that, but I think it's time for a debate," Mr Schwarzenegger said.

"I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues, I'm always for an open debate on it.

"And I think we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs, what effect did it have on those countries?"

He said his native Austria is revisiting some of its marijuana laws, for instance.

The Austrian Parliament last year authorised cultivation of medical marijuana.

"It could very well be that everyone is happy with that decision and then we could move to that," Mr Schwarzenegger said of other nations' legalisation policies.

"If not, we shouldn't do it. But just because of raising revenues ... we have to be careful not to make mistakes at the same time.

Mr Schwarzenegger previously has shown a casual attitude toward marijuana.

He was filmed smoking a joint in the 1977 film, Pumping Iron.

And he told the British version of GQ in 2007, "That is not a drug. It's a leaf."

Spokesman Aaron McLear downplayed the governor's comment as a joke at the time.

California alone could not easily legalise pot, given that it remains a federally regulated substance.

Mr Ammiano said in March he is hoping President Barack Obama would allow California to move toward legalisation.

It is very clear here that when a state is broke and financially desperate it will take the LAW which is in it own hands to seek morally wrong ways to survive financially.

When Singaporean peasant did EXACTLY the same thing, they found themselves in famiLEE LEEgime's prisons and gallows.

Similarly casino and other forms of gambling applies.

Clearly famiLEE LEEgime is abusing power corruptly, exploiting peasants and treat Singaporean people like fools.

Arnie is the governor of California State, to be precise, he is Mr. Gopalan Nair's Governor. :biggrin: If you think Mr. Gopal had gone broke, I think his state is even more broke than him, his governor now want to sell and tax nacotic drugs in order to survive.

Very soon famiLEE LEEgime will sell the same drugs - guarded by WKS's mata in CUNT=NTUC with old dog theif LKy officially launching the ceremony of LEEgalized drugs.

:rolleyes::biggrin::wink:
