The following California organizations and individuals have joined us in calling for the repeal of marijuana prohibition:

“Putting someone in jail for smoking marijuana – ruining their life and costing the taxpayers thousands – isn’t going to help the user or the country and is a huge waste of limited criminal justice resources.”
- Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach)

“Our daily courtroom experience shows that we will never run out of problem drug users. So we should treat marijuana like alcohol, and use our scarce criminal justice resources in holding adults accountable for their actions, instead of what they put into their bodies.”
- Orange County Superior Court Judge (Ret.) James P. Gray

“It is vital that we are able to focus necessary police resources on reducing violence and serious crime. Oakland voters elected, in 2004, to support the taxation and regulation of marijuana for adults (Measure Z). Neither our cities nor our state can afford to continue the policy of prohibition which is costing us millions.”
- Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan
