The Health Committee has to review it by friday but they are saying it's not going to happen. There's an article on canorml.org about it.

SACRAMENTO - Today, in a 4 to 3 vote, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee passed A.B. 390, legislation that would tax and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.
This is the first time in U.S. history that a state legislature has ever passed-or even considered-a proposal to make marijuana legal, taxed, and regulated. A.B. 390, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act was authored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the chair of the committee.
The bill will not progress any further this year due to the constraints of the legislative calendar but advocates praised today's vote as a major milestone in ongoing efforts to end marijuana prohibition.
"Today's vote should give voters confidence that California's failed and unjust war on marijuana consumers will soon come to an end," said Aaron Smith, California policy director for the Marijuana Policy Project, who testified before the committee. "It's an encouraging sign that most members of the committee presiding over the state's penal code have voted to toss marijuana prohibition onto the ash heap of history."

There are several steps for a bill to become a law. It is NOT legal in any state, with the exception of medical. There's still a ways to go...
If anybody REALLY wants to get it legal, might I suggest contacting and / or joining NORML? Check out the Marijuana Policy project too. Talking about it here is great conversation, but DOING something about it is better. That's right YOU and ME.

Please consider clicking on either or both of the sites above, contacting them and finding out how YOU can help. Don't let YOUR opportunity go to waste. If nothing is happening in your state....MAKE IT HAPPEN. Peace.

So a $50 tax on every ounce sold, a tax on every grower, and more government regulation on the private sector and our very lives is a victory?
Medical use and cultivation is ALREADY legal in California and possession of an ounce or less BY ANYONE is nothing more than an infraction like a traffic ticket, punishable by a maximum of a $100 fine.
True victory will be attained when the government butts the hell out of it completely. In fact, true victory will come when ever the average American learns this simple fact: It is none of government's business what we drink, smoke, snort, ingest or inject ... as long as the rights of another are not violated in the process.
