POT LEGALIZATION WORTH STUDYING, GOVERNOR SAYS
DAVIS -- As California struggles to find cash, Gov. 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.
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 the use of
marijuana for medical purposes.
