Initiate This!

By now you probably know that voters will be deciding on a number of initiatives this fall. The most prominent is Proposition 19, commonly called Tax Cannabis 2010. It will allow Californians 21 and over to possess up to one ounce of cannabis and give state and local governments the ability to tax its sale. Medical marijuana initiatives will also be the ballot in Arizona, Oregon, South Dakota, and Detroit, Michigan.

These initiatives, particularly Prop 19, will change marijuana policy forever. Legal cannabis in California and Detroit. State licensed dispensaries in Oregon. Two more states join 14 others to permit medical marijuana. This is real progress!

If you're as passionate about these possibilities as we are, you'll be following these initiatives right up to election day. And we're here to help.

We've set up the following links to help you stay ahead of the news:
