More than a year after recreational marijuana became legal in California, the state is waging war against unlicensed pot shops and redoubling efforts to stamp out illegal marijuana farms using National Guard troops.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, an early backer of recreational marijuana use in the state, is leading the fight to stamp out California's black market. Additionally, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti last week called for big increases in the city's next budget to boost enforcement of hundreds of marijuana businesses in the city.
Some pro cannabis groups believe many cultivators want to become part of the regulated marketplace but have been frustrated by barriers to entry from local and state rules. There have been complaints about exorbitant taxes on legal retailers and cultivators. Some of the National Guard troops slated for counterdrug operations recently were focused on assisting in President Donald Trump's U.S. border request. In February, Newsom rebuked Trump's "manufactured crisis" at the border by announcing plans to pull more than 250 troops from the southern border.
Grow marijuana
Lol! Liberalism is cancer
At least people will be more chill the next time California has a wildfire.
The state legalized marijuana in their state so they should govern what they legalize and not use my federal tax dollars for something they legalized in their state
Well make the farms fucking legal then.

Californians continue to sour on death penalty, poll finds, feeding momentum to end itCalifornia voters favor sentencing murders to life in prison rather than the death penalty by nearly a two-to-one margin, according to a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California. The results come in the wake of Gov. Gavin Newsom's moratorium on California death row executions. Given the horror stories of DNA exonerations of convicted murderers, Californians are correct in their judgement. Wonder how many innocents were sentenced to death in Texas? Odd that a statewide referendum just a couple of years ago signaled clear support for the death penalty. Trust a poll or actual votes? Hmm. But okay for them to murder an innocent infant?🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️

2 California Supreme Court justices say the state’s death penalty system doesn’t workTwo weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a moratorium on executions, two justices on the state’s highest court called California’s death penalty “an expensive and dysfunctional system” that delivers neither justice nor timely closure. wHAT i GOT TO PEE...HOLD ON...C.I.A DIRECTOR LIL' O. 999.9 Voters specifically voted against the end of the executions. In fact, they wanted them accelerated. Newsom is acting like a dictator making decisions in opposition to the will of the people of the state. Death penalty saves money as it gives the wretched murder a quick out if offered a life sentence. Take way the death penalty and the litigation will be extended on and on. Defense lawyer's job is to reduce the penalty no matter what.
