I was thinking the same thing ... though not of Drew Estate specifically. But I could see a cigar manufacturer putting in a leaf of two of pot just to add a special something to a cigar. If it's legal, then sobeit. Such a cigar would have to be dually labeled as such, though. I wouldn't buy one.

I can't help but think that this would result in a LOSS of revenue for California anyway. Think of all the lack of production at any given workplace when they employees could smoke doobage during a smoke break or at lunch ... "Man, I really need to make a bunch more calls today ... ahh, whatever. Dude, look at my computer -- those icons are freakin' hilarious! When's lunch, I'm starving."

Lol. I think you have a point but at the same time there is a great number of people who work BETTER stoned.
You would think it would be treated like like anything similar in the workplace... I know I can't drink on break or lunch!
The OP stated it would be treated like alcohol...
Employers would just need to update their employee handbooks, I would think.

There was a program on the history channel a week ago called "Marijuana Inc. Americas pot trade" or something like that. they covered some of this issue in california and mostly isolated to "the emerald triangle" mendocino county and the whole economy of mendocino county and the surrounding areas is supported by legal and illegal marijuana since in mendocino county it is legal for any one person to have __ number of plants. they also where talking about Oaksterdam which is in oakland and there is a university dedicated to that leaf and a whole community, the owner of Oaksterdam pays about $300,000 a year in state sales tax and about $600,000 a year in federal. that being one business in one county if the state "legalize(d) it" out state deficit would fix itself or definitely help things.
very informative program. check it out guys if you want to learn more. Legalizing pot should be on everyone's ballets. I garauntee there are more alchol related deaths and domestic abuse cases than there are rthat are related to Pot.

Yes, and no.
Federal marijuana laws are the laws that the federal government enacts to criminalize majijuana possession, sale, and cultivation. Each U.S. state also passes their own marijuana laws, but when these laws are in conflict with the federal rules, the federal rules control. Traditionally drug crimes are prosecuted at the state level. But because some states have decriminalized marijuana crimes (such as for medicinal purposes), federal prosecutions for marijuana possession/sale/cultivation are becoming more common.
The distinction is important, because while many states have rather lax laws concerning marijuana use, the Federal Government has some extremely strict penalties, some of which involve decades of jail time.
The problem is that the FDA does not recognize marijuana ass having any medicinal merit.
