When it comes to the legalization and regulation of marijuana in the State of California, some say Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is leaning towards supporting Proposition 19. Even if he doesn't fully support the measure, those closest to him claim that he feels very certain that the measure will pass in November.
Considering himself a forward-thinking person, Schwarzenegger has indicated that he doesn't want to see the measure pass without having done his homework to make sure that if marijuana is going to be grown in large quantities by government-approved farmers, that the quality of the marijuana will be such that it is potent enough to use as medical marijuana and that it will out-sell the pot that will more than likely still be sold on the black market.
Because he's never been one to shirk his responsibilities as leader of the people of California, Governor Schwarzenegger recently held an official pot sampling party in the Governor's Mansion. On hand to help him decipher the best weed were several doctors, several pot farmers, and several experts on the smoking of weed. One of the most prominent guests to attend the pot sampling was Jeff Bridges, who admits to smoking marijuana on a daily basis. Also in attendance were Drew Barrymore, Woody Harrelson and Cameron Diaz.
Pot samples from all over the state were sent in by local farmers hoping that their special plants would be selected to represent the state in its official pot-growing program.
The media was not invited to the pot sampling and for good reason. Pot is not yet legal in California, at least not in the sense of smoking it for recreational purposes. However, according to sources close to the Governator, "you don't want to wait until it's too late and you have to go with just any pot. This way, we know we are going to be getting some really good sh*t once the measure passes."
