    Pro-marijuana ad pushes pot as Calif. budget fix

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The historic budget crisis in California could go up in smoke if one organization has its way.

    A pro-marijuana group was set Wednesday to launch another television bid to legalize pot in California — this time with the pitch that legalizing and taxing the drug could help solve the state’s massive budget deficit.

    The 30-second spot, paid for by the Marijuana Policy Project, features a retired 58-year-old state worker who says state leaders “are ignoring millions of Californians who want to pay taxes.”

    “We’re marijuana consumers,” says Nadene Herndon of Fair Oaks, who says she began using marijuana after suffering multiple strokes three years ago. “Instead of being treated like criminals for using a substance safer than alcohol, we want to pay our fair share.”

    Blir spännande att se om det ekonomiska argumentet biter i dessa kristider.
