This movement wants you to think that the vast amount of plastic pollution in the Pacific Ocean is easily taxable consumables like plastic bags and water bottles. If you examine photos of the pollution you will see it is a lot of things. This is a "green washed" austerity measure. It starts with a 10 cent tax on grocery bags.

The cannabis economy is great for Sacramento and a future boom for California.
