BLAZIN' BALLOT: California Voters will vote on legalizing POT for recreational use in November. OMG.

The California Secretary of State today announced that the "Initiative to Control and Tax Cannabis" has qualified for the November ballot.

SOS Debra Bowen has reported this afternoon that more than enough signatures have been submitted from voters from across California in near record time, and the issue will now be on the November General Election.

This isn't about "Medical Pot," it is about making ALL pot and cannabis sales legal here in the Golden State.

According to the measures backers, the initiative will give local governments the ability to control and tax the sale of small amounts of cannabis to adults age 21 and older.

www.taxcannabis.org says its measure includes significant safeguards and controls and it will increase the penalty for providing marijuana to a minor, expressly prohibit the consumption of marijuana in public, forbid smoking marijuana while minors are present, and ban possession on school grounds.

So, if this measure passes in November by California voters, will pot shops be popping up in Cerritos, Artesia, Buena Park, Norwalk, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens and Long Beach in 2011? Is this a new way to balance our states fiscal crisis?

Look for lots of legal challenges, but for now, the November 2010 Election here in California just got really wild, like ganga wild, dude.

Do you favor the legalization of pot here in California? Do you think this measure will the approved by voters in California this November? Drop me a note to RREconomy@aol.com, or hit the headline and let your comments be heard!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
