[SEMI-PUBLIC] GA Vote: CLA

[unmerged(10397)]

The CLA is now up for voting by all MGAs. Voting shall be concluded by 23:59 on 6/15/05.

Cannabis Legalization Act (CLA)

The sale of cannabis is hereby legalized and the possession of cannabis or its paraphenalia is no longer a crime. Cannabis can now be sold by private individuals and private companies.

Whereas, the sale and use of cannabis by a minor would be a cause for concern, a Cannabis Regulation Board will be established in this act. The Regulation Board's job would be to make sure that private individuals or businesses do not sell cannabis to minors, and that violaters are fined. The legal age limit for use or possession of cannabis would be 21 years of age. Cannabis would be regulated in the same way as alcohol and tobacco.

Whereas, the state can always use additional revenue, cannabis and cannabis paraphenalia would be taxed at the same level as alcohol and tobacco. The revenues raised could be used by the state for any purpose it thought worthy.
