Default Sacramento - Amsterdam of California

Just food for thought.

I wish there was a way we can pass a citywide legalization of marijuana just for the city of Sacramento, or just for the central city of Sacramento including the neighborhoods of downtown, midtown, alkali flats, oak park, etc.

I think it would immediately bring in a lot of investment and tourism dollars to Sacramento. Put Sacramento on the map as a destination and also bring a very international crowd into town. We would become the Amsterdam of California.

What do you guys think?

The federal government might not be so keen on the idea.

Sacramento is more like the Arkansas of California.

If you ever walked through the red light district in Amsterdam, you would not wish that onto Sacramento.

I said legalize marijuana not prostitution.

I think it would be a great idea. It would make Sacramento a global destination and drive in billions of dollars of investment. It would also give Sacramento something to be known for and overnight, make Sacramento an entertainment destination.

Except, of course, there's that whole "it's a federal law, and you can't overturn a federal law at the local level" thing.

Not really.....there's a protest today regarding his "interest" in the wellness market-
Cannabis Warrior » Blog Archive » Protest at Montel Wellness (Abatin) in Sac Today at Noon (http://cannabiswarrior.com/2011/06/17/protest-at-montel-wellness-abatin-in-sac-today-at-noon/ - broken link)

There's a story about him in the latest News & Review-
Montel Williams’ fight - News - Local Stories - June 16, 2011 - Sacramento News & Review

FWIW, Oakland is trying to become the West Coast Amsterdam- hence the "Oaksterdam" name and cannabis university
Oaksterdam University - Quality Training for the Cannabis Industry
Oaksterdam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I don't think that will ever fly here in Sac unless they find a way to build a new arena with the pot tax Lol....
