GOLDEN STATE'S GREEN FUTURE
Just in from Stockton, Mary parks her car and enters the downtown
Oakland coffeehouse -- but she hasn't come all this way for a cup of joe.
Instead, she peruses a menu of dozens of strains and preparations of
marijuana, all grown in California, all taxed, all legal. Producing a
wad of cash and proof of her age -- but no doctor's note -- for a
fragrant ounce of "purple kush," she departs a satisfied customer,
perhaps grabbing a snack at a nearby restaurant before hitting the highway.
This could be California's near future, what with three
marijuana-legalization initiatives in circulation for the November
2010 ballot. A legislative bill is pending as well, although it's
being revamped by its author.
