(LA Times) The debate over Proposition 19, which would legalize marijuana in California, will acquire some celebrity glitter on Thursday.
Actors Danny Glover and Hal Sparks, and musician Melissa Etheridge are scheduled to speak in favor of marijuana legalization at a news conference in Los Angeles.
The three will join supporters of the initiative, including former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson. The measure would allow adults 21 and older to grow and possess marijuana, and would authorize cities and counties to approve cultivation, sale and taxation.
Kudos to these celebrities for lending their names to the campaign to legalize marijuana. Etheridge especially has been an ardent supporter since battling cancer and using medical marijuana to cope with chemo treatments.
