For all my smokers in CA...pay attention, you might find this interesting:
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws(NORML), a Washington DC-based marijuana advocacy group, has partnered with jam-based dub rock heavyweightsSlightly Stoopid and hip-hop juggernauts Cypress Hill on the Legalize It 2010tour for a YouTube based video contest to raise awareness for California's Prop 19, the initiative to regulate and tax marijuana. The initiative will be on the California ballot November 2nd, 2010 and its passage would be a historic step forward in the fight to end marijuana prohibition and legalize marijuana nationwide..
NORML, Slightly Stoopid, and Cypress Hill invite US residents to create 30-60 second videos of themselves answering the question, "What could California do with the revenue generated from taxing marijuana?" Participants are to upload their entries to YouTube with the tag "YesOnProp19." Members of both bands and representatives from NORML will personally pick one grand prize winner and two runner-ups from a selection of the most viewed, rated, and commented upon videos. Prizes include a personal phone call from B-Real, a limited edition Slightly Stoopid vaporizer, a framed autographed tour poster, a free one-year membership to NORML, plus more. Winners' videos will be shared on all the partners' social network profiles. For official contest rules visit: http://bit.ly/aGYsJx
Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 (www.taxcannabis.org), will give local governments the ability to tax the sale of up to one ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes to adults age 21 and older. According to the Board of Equalization (BOE), California's tax regulator, controlling and taxing marijuana in California could generate $1.4 billion in much needed revenue each year. These funds could go towards jobs, public safety, healthcare, parks, transportation, education and more.
