San Francisco, California- On July 15, 2009, the California Cannabis Initiative submitted a historic ballot initiative to the Attorney General’s Office for the November 2, 2010 General Election. The proposed Tax Regulate and Control Cannabis Act of 2010 aims to end California’s prohibition on cannabis while generating new revenues for the Golden State. Specifically, this initiative will:

1] Generate an estimated $1.4 Billion dollars in revenues for California each year through taxes and fees.

2) Prohibit minors under the age of 21 from obtaining and using cannabis by mandating that only adults over the age of 21 have access to cannabis.

3) Save California millions of dollars in costs related to the criminal justice system by repealing all existing criminal penalties related to cannabis.

4) Mandate that all taxes and fees collected as a result of the cannabis regulation be spent on education, healthcare, public works, and the environment.

5) Create new green markets through the sustainable farming of hemp.

6) Make cannabis available for scientific, medical, industrial and research purposes.

7) Permit the State of California to fulfill obligations under the United States Constitution to enact laws concerning health, morals, public welfare and safety.

8) Continue to enforce all laws relating to driving and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The Attorney General’s Office will return the proposed measure to the California Cannabis Initiative following fiscal analysis, with the official title and summary.
