Since its move from the illicit market, to the legalization of medicinal cannabis in 1996, and continued positive shifts of perceptions of cannabis, there has been exponential growth in the industry. The Office of Business Research and Analysis (OBRA) has analyzed the general impact of the cannabis industry in San Diego County. Throughout this research, OBRA sought to find how adult-use and medicinal cannabis sales increases in revenue and influences the community regarding finances, police enforcement, cannabis license types, public health, and social equity. The cannabis industry yields a considerable amount of revenue to municipalities from cannabis city taxes. Data from public records requests from the cities of San Diego, La Mesa, and Vista illustrate the amount of money by quarter that each city has brought in since their legalization of medicinal cannabis and or adult-use cannabis.

Box 66 Verona, NJ 07044 [email protected] www.InsiderNJ.com Max Pizarro Editor-in-Chief [email protected] InsiderNJ's 2nd tribute to influential voices in New Jersey's long battle to end cannabis prohibition. This year's list emphasizes many whose advocacy finally made legalization happen here in New Jersey. I’ve been a cannabis user since college and if you call me a stoner that’s ok because I like to smoke pot and there’s nothing wrong with that . I’m also HIV+ so I use marijuana for medical purposes, too. My life as a cannabis activist/archivist began in earnest on April 16th 1998 in San Francisco. The exact date is memorable because an LA Times reporter was there Pete Oneglia to chronicle what shaped up to be to the first medical cannabis raid in American General Manager history. [email protected] It’s hard to properly convey how scary and traumatizing it was watching hundreds Michael Graham of medically frail AIDS patients get manhandled into the streets by lots of men with guns. Those who resisted, and there were many who did, were cuffed and hauled CEO away.
