A major media stir was created when California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called for an open debate on legalizing and taxing marijuana. We're constantly reminded that a recent Field Poll showed that 56 percent of Californians support taxing and regulating marijuana, by every newspaper and media outlet in the country, including the Wall Street Journal. Even Wolf Blitzer had a segment about Arnold in the Situation Room and there must be lot's of newsroom jokes about the Governor being the terminator of marijuana prohibition but Wolf resisted.
Searching this topic on Google News there is 448 News articles, of course the Blogosphere will be ten times that many stories.
Ryan Grimm from Huffington Post covered this story well, in: Arnold: Time To Talk About Legalizing Pot - which had about 330 comments but my favorite piece was a blog article on High Times by Joseph Klare (aka StonerJesus420) called: Ok Arnold, Let's Debate. Here we find Arnold's debate team on video.
