Dear Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hello.

I have a solution.

Make marijuana legal.

Tax it - 50 to an ounce is okay, i guess, i dunno.

Plus. Make user ID cards EASILY available, because there are these super secret doctors that charge 200 + dollars, and they're harder to get hold of than the clockman diamond, or the Maltese Falcon, the Docs, and the cards.

It seems ridiculous that Loads and loads of alcohol are dumped into the public, and you make money from that, but people are smoking pot, in fear, and in corners, and not able to do it in public for fear of scrutiny from the public because of its legal ramifications, as well as fear of being arrested, and put into a jail system, and you don't want to make money from that. California needs the money, and we need a change.

We sell cigarettes, they cause cancer, I smoked for 20 years, and it messed me up. We sell booze, and I don't like it at all. If we legalized marijuana, people would be able to enjoy relaxation, and socialization in a legal form, without fear and ridicule, without having to hide out, and hide from a police force that harms us, hurts us, and doesn't even want to be dealing with it in the first place. Bars survive, bars thrive, I can't tell you how much stuff people have been through because of alcohol, we know it, we hear about it, we see it.

There are no legal nor illegal speakeasies around, nor easily accessible coffee shop type establishments that a person can go to to comfortably smoke a joint and talk it up with friends, nor, with the state of the economy, and present financial situation, is it easy for many to go to festivals, raves, and other gatherings wherein one has to pay a (for me anyways) big ticket price to be around a bunch of people one doesn't even know, nor may get along with just to chill out.

Upon legalization, we could work on formulas that could copy and or simulate the effects of Opiates, Cocaine, Stimulants, such as methamphetamine, psychedelics, and other alternate substances, thereby turning off users to those harder, more deadly substances. We could also research and implement strategies to make marijuana smokeless, thereby making a new market, a new platform for taxable franchise, reduction of throat and lung damage, health care costs to the public, and a possibility for safer tobaccos in general as well.

We also need to legalize gay marriage, the world is a different place now, and as with the Women's liberation movement, the racial equality movement, we need to see change in the way that California treats the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons on its soil. Not only is it good for the minds of the people of this great state, but it is a thing with which we can use the money, for our State is in a state of crisis.

Look at what we're doing now, look at what we can do.
You're missing out on a ton of money, and we're missing out on destroying a Prohibition that has destroyed too many lives.

Thank you very much;
Sincerely,

Oliver Brainlick
