Akla Digg.com vote presses Schwarzenegger on legal

State legislator Tom Ammiano, a San Francisco Democrat, introduced a bill in February to legalize recreational marijuana. Bill AB 390 would license “commercial cultivators of marijuana” and establish a complicated web of regulations and tax rules they and retailers must follow.

Q: New polls actually show that more than half of Californians support legalizing marijuana. So would that sway your stance on it whatsoever in this open debate that you’re calling for? Would it sway your opinion?

A Field poll released on April 30 found that 56 percent of the state’s registered voters support legalizing marijuana and taxing its sale.

Thanks to a 1996 ballot measure, medical marijuana is already legal under California law, though local officials have substantial discretion. Although that conflicts with federal law, the Obama administration has chosen not to target California medical marijuana dispensaries.

But I believe in the law, the way the law is right now, and I think it’s worked very well for the state of California. And I think it would be a mistake to just go and legalize something that we don’t believe in just because it would produce an extra billion dollars in revenues. And I think we just have to learn how to live within our means rather than trying to do things we really don’t want to do.

A: I like the law that we have in place. And I don’t believe in legalizing marijuana, but I’m always open for the debate because there are people that feel differently. And I said I’m always interested in debating any of these issues because there’s always different ways of looking at it. And I think it would be interesting to see the information that is available, if there’s any information available, of how well countries are doing that have legalized marijuana. But I don’t think that information is available, and I’d want us to see that.

Earlier this month, Schwarzenegger said “it’s time for debate” about legalizing marijuana. Read on for an excerpt from the CNN interview.

Digg.com vote presses Schwarzenegger on legalizing marijuana

As more government officials choose to publicly answer questions submitted by Internet users, they’re encountering a new phenomenon: marijuana activists intent on forcing answers to the would-you-legalize-pot question.



It could raise over $1.2 billion a year in new tax revenues, assuming a $50-an-ounce tax, according to an analysis by California NORML, an organization working to reform the state’s marijuana laws.

Q: What is your stance on the legalization, cultivation, and regulation of marijuana in the state of California?

A: Well, it could very well go on an initiative one day, where they ask the voters directly, that could very well be. And if the voters make that decision, that’s fine. But I think it is very important for us to make certain decisions not just because they would bring in some extra money, and I think this is why people have been talking about that in California, to go in that direction, and to start debating that issue. Because it would produce, as they say, $1.3 billion, $1.4 billion extra revenues.

On Wednesday, it was California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, who was put on the spot. Digg.com users propelled a legalize-marijuana question to the No. 2 position (behind one asking about what he was thinking when photographed grimacing at President George W. Bush).

In March, President Obama’s first virtual town hall took a detour when questions about legalizing marijuana were voted to the top of the “financial stability,” “jobs,” “budget,” and (of course) “green jobs” polls on WhiteHouse.gov

gfps Consumers still buying electronics as family

Nonetheless, consumers are maintaining their holiday spending level for family members. Portable media players and digital cameras performed well over the holiday weekend that wraps in Thanksgiving, and high-definition TVs were expected to be the top electronic sale items between now and the end of the year, according to the survey.

The survey also found that while 25 percent of those surveyed shopped for electronics over the Thanksgiving holiday, 50 percent plan to buy electronics before the year’s end.

Consumers plan to account for these recessionary times by reducing the frequency of eating out, and 38 percent of survey respondents noted they expect to spend less on gifts for co-workers.

Those surprising results come as big-box electronics retailers face a challenging time. Best Buy announced a 77 percent drop in earnings and call for employee buyouts earlier this month and Circuit City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month.



Consumers still buying electronics as family gifts

Holiday spending on electronics for family members remains high on the to-do list, according to a survey by IDC and the National Research Network (NRN).

According to results from a survey of more than 3,000 consumers, 62 percent indicated they planned to spend the same amount or more on electronics for family members this holiday.

“Consumers are shifting to staying, or nesting, at home more,” Randy Giusto, IDC general manager of client and consumer markets.

CNET News Daily Podcast: Investigating Web loyalty programs

Thousands of online shoppers have complained that mysterious charges are showing up on their credit card statements. They’ve accused those who operate something they call “Web loyalty programs” of purposely deceiving them into signing them up and charging them. Now the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee is investigating Vertrue, WebLoyalty, and Affinion–companies who make “cash back” and coupon offers and charge those who enroll in their loyalty programs. CNET’s own Josh Lowensohn was a victim of a Buy.com and WebLoyalty information-sharing policy, and reporter Greg Sandoval investigated the story.
