END PROHIBITION NOW, CALIFORNIA

Hopefully, California residents are paying attention. Forcing the
black market to regulate cannabis (marijuana) has proven to be one of
the United States' worst policy failures in history. Forcing
government to regulate the relatively safe, god-given plant is best
for everyone.

Since Colorado re-legalized cannabis, nearly every negative prediction
has proven false by nearly every measure. California voters will
likely have the opportunity to completely re-legalize cannabis in 2016
and should not let that golden opportunity slip away. The negative
consequences of cannabis prohibition cannot end soon enough.
