Cities are already computing how much they can skim for themselves. One city wants to tax $600-900 per square foot (25 sf maximum) of a backyard if the owner grows marijuana for his own use. Some cities want to tax it 10-15% if sold. From what I have read, it won't pass. I think part of the reason is the taxation that is turning this into a cash cow.

Subject: Why are Californians so afraid of Marijuana?
Sunday, October 24, 2010
Looking a gift horse in the mouth.
I was more befuddled than a Libertarian finding federal war bonds in
a chest up in his grandpa's attic. What's wrong with the voter's in
California? Proposition 19 is down in the polls? 39% of voters are
behind it? 50% are opposed to it? The only thing I could surmise is
the pollsters are lying or the media is lying. Maybe it's election
fraud? Maybe the voters are just plain dumb? This proposition can
pull California out of the economic funk it's in! It could provide
jobs, business opportunities, medicine, money for schools, and fewer
prisoners in prisons. You do know our prisons are overcrowded? Why?
Because many of them got busted on their 3rd strike puffing a doobie.
Do people still believe in the myths about Marijuana?
Why is the Feds are so oppose to pot? It's oblivious why the
religious right is opposing to it. You smoke it and you'll realize
that religion is jive. Are the corporations for it? Some are against
it. Why? You smoke weed and you'll never shop at a Wall Mart again.
Some pot farmers and medical pot are opposed to it. The pot farmers do
not want to be regulated by the state. That understandable! But hey!
You got to sacrifice somewhere!
Medical pot clinics would lose money because pot will be available at
any drug store. Organized crime will lose millions of dollars. Some
how, I don't pity them. Dope dealers have been overcharging customers
of marijuana far too long. A state price control is fine with me.
Maybe the Federal government is in cahoots with organized crime? You
take away the drug war and a lot of cops will lose their jobs!
I'm sorry, I just don't get it?
