Another initiative attempting to make its way onto the 2012 California ballot has been released. Called the Repeal Cannabis Prohibition Act of 2012, the initiative would remove most references to Marijuana within California legal codes. It would permit adults (presumably age-18 and up) to grow, possess and use an unlimited quantity of cannabis or cannabis product. The initiative would still prohibit both driving while impaired by marijuana, and furnishing marijuana to a minor. Regulation of the commercial production (as defined by amounts 3 lbs or greater) would fall under the jurisdiction of the CA Department of Public Health; neither taxes nor regulations could be imposed on amounts smaller than 3 pounds.
