This is the most idiotic thing I have ever read. They will single handedly ruin the wine industry in California, put thousands and thousands people out of work, the increase in crime alone would bankrupt our state further. You people our idiots.

That's what started Al Capone's rackets and that's how old Joe Kennedy made his fortune (supplying Canadian booze to the mob).

I sent Mr. Whitney an email, but unfortunately I imagine he is going to have a hard time wading through his inbox. I am curious about whether any of it will turn out to be true.

I think it has been well established that Kent and Josie Whitney are from San Diego, but I have yet to get any confirmation about their link to 21st Century Wellness Initiative, or even what the company does. I have sent an email requesting additional information but have not heard back.<br><br>This particular situation though really shines a light on the problems of the California proposition system for creating laws. The system tends to create a bunch of knee jerk, special purpose laws that have unintended consequences on other areas of government and that compound over time. Thank you so much for the comment.
