Would legalizing Marijuana raise more money?
I don't know what is in this measure but I was wondering if anyone knew what stipulations or laws this would create.
For example if it's legal then can anyone start growing pot for personal use in their backyard'? If so won't that be less revenue?
If we legalize it then should we allow drug cartels to export their marijuana into California as long as they are paying some tax?
How do we regular "impairment"? Is there a quantifiable standard like there is for alcohol?
If someone steals someone elses pot plant, should our police resources be spent to investigate?

It should have the same laws that govern the use of alcohol.
For example if it's legal then can anyone start growing pot for personal use in their backyard'? If so won't that be less revenue?
Same as above. We can not make our own alcohol because it would bypass the federal government taxation.
If we legalize it then should we allow drug cartels to export their marijuana into California as long as they are paying some tax?
Drug Cartels would go out of business. It could be grown and manufactured cheaper here. (I believe this is one of the reasons its not legal, cartels are paying off officials to keep it illegal.)
How do we regular "impairment"? Is there a quantifiable standard like there is for alcohol?
This would be tough. However, I doubt we would have the same problems as we do with alcohol, personally I believe maryjane is less dangerous than alcohol, IME.
If someone steals someone elses pot plant, should our police resources be spent to investigate?
See above, we wont be growing.

While I dont smoke anymore nor condone it, I have always wondered why it was not legal.

Re: Would legalizing Marijuana raise more money?
Then won't that just shift the focus even more from users to grower/distributers who might otherwise continue to grow privately to avoid red tape and overhead?

Im sure it would. Just as it did when bootleggers were in business. But the government eventually shut that down. The government don't play around when your taking from their revenues.

I thought it was.
I thought it was legal to make a small amount of moonshine for personal consumption also.
I may be wrong.

From what I have read making moonshine is still illegal even if for personal use. Of course I may be wrong too.

It's kinda confusing because I recall there being kits you can legally buy for making your own beer or wine
