For all of you who haven't heard yet, there has been a petition in California to get legalization put on the November 2010 ballot. About 433,000 signatures were needed, today 700,000 signatures are being submitted, pretty much guaranteeing that you will be seeing Tax and Legalize of Cannabis on the ballot.
