CALIFORNIA State Assembly Committee Passes Bill to Tax and Regulate Marijuana, SAVES ECONOMY–Historic marijuana reform bill is the first time in nation?s history that a state legislative committee has approved proposal to tax and regulate marijuana.
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA ? Today, in a 4 to 3 vote, the California Assembly?s Public Safety Committee passed A.B. 390, legislation that would tax and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol. This is the first time in U.S. history that a state legislature has ever passed?or even considered?a proposal to make marijuana legal, taxed, and regulated. A.B. 390, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act was authored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the chair of the committee.
The bill will not progress any further this year due to the constraints of the legislative calendar but advocates praised today?s vote as a major milestone in ongoing efforts to end marijuana prohibition.
?Today?s vote should give voters confidence that California?s failed and unjust war on marijuana consumers will soon come to an end,? said Aaron Smith, California policy director for the Marijuana Policy Project, who testified before the committee. ?It?s an encouraging sign that most members of the committee presiding over the state?s penal code have voted to toss marijuana prohibition onto the ash heap of history.?
With more than 29,000 members and 100,000 e-mail subscribers nationwide, the Marijuana Policy Project is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States. MPP believes that the best way to minimize the harm associated with marijuana is to regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol. For more information, please visit www.mpp.org.

So far this rule has only been accepted by the SCTA folks and not the AMA. If you would like to see it expanded, you might want to send them a note.

Ex-Miami-Dade judge gets 20 years for theft of public funds–Disgraced Miami-Dade judge Phillip Davis received 20 years in prison for looting county and state grants intended to help the poor.Former Miami-Dade Judge Phillip Davis, who once won acquittal in a notorious bribery case, will be sentenced Friday for looting county grant money intended to help the inner-city poor. A jury in November convicted Davis, 56, and former assistant Joan Headley on nine fraud and money-laundering charges, all felonies. They face from four to 30-plus years in prison. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Beatrice Butchko will sentence them Friday afternoon.
Phillip Davis couldn’t beat the rap again. Sixteen years after the former Miami-Dade judge was acquitted in a notorious bribery and extortion case, Miami-Dade jurors on Tuesday convicted Davis of looting public grant money paid to his inner-city social services agency.
Davis, 55, was immediately handcuffed and taken to jail. Six jurors convicted him of nine felony counts, including money laundering, organized fraud and grand theft.
After three hours of deliberations, the jury tasked with judging Miami Rev. Gaston Smith sent out a note asking the judge some very direct questions. What records existed to show Smith snagged a generous grant from the Burger King company? Was there any evidence he helped create a Liberty City senior citizens garden? How many fliers touting his nonprofit group actually got printed? The jurors wanted specifics — but got none.
