Schwarzenegger Open To Legalizing Marijuana

While gay marriage is on the ropes in Cali, it seems that Schwarzenegger is starting the debate of legalizing marijuana. SFGate.com:

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that the time is right to debate legalizing marijuana for recreational use in California."

Why is this coming now? I think people are starting to realize that with overfilled prisons, money shortages, and that it is already legal on a medical level, why not take the next step?

"The governor's comments were made as support grows nationwide for relaxing pot laws and only days after a poll found that for the first time a majority of California voters back legal marijuana. Also, a San Francisco legislator has proposed regulating and taxing marijuana to bring the state as much as $1.3 billion a year in extra revenue."

Not only do we get money, the current war in Mexico will be changed dramatically b/c Cali is a huge border crossing for weed. Take away the cartel power and  you will definitely help out Mexico.
