In California, in the month of November the citizens will not only being voting for a new governor but for a bill that will make marijuana legal. Yes, marijuana not medical marijuana because they already have that( first state to make it legal). The bill will allow marijuana to be treated just like alcohol. A person must be 21 years of age. It would also become legal to grow up to 25 sq ft at a person home, and the local government will tax the transportation and sale of the drug. The President has said that the federal government will not will become involved in this state issue. This is a way for California to attack there economic crisis, and is overall a good business decision. This decision have the possibility to change the course of history.
My question to you is, will marijuana become legal in California/ The US?

I don't think many states will follow California right away. It will be interesting to see if it does or how it helps the economy there. Maybe if it does help then other states will consider making marijuana legal.
