The proposed legalization initiative is one of more than a dozen that has been submitted in California for the November 2016 election. Because of the deep pockets and political connections, observers think the Adult Use of Marijuana Act is the vehicle with the greatest chance of success. The measure would allow adults 21 and over to buy an ounce of marijuana and marijuana-infused products at licensed retail outlets and also to grow up to six pot plants for personal use. The Parker-backed initiative also has lined up support from the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Policy Project, two marijuana reform advocacy groups that led campaigns to pass pot legalization measures in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
