OAKLAND, CA – JULY 22: The leaf of a marijuana plant is seen under a grow light at Oaksterdam University July 22, 2009 in Oakland, California. Voters in Oakland, California overwhelmingly approved a measure during a vote-by-mail special election for a special tax on sales of medicinal marijuana at the city’s four cannabis dispenseries. The new tax rate of $18.00 per $1,000 in sales, up from $1.20 per $1,000, will generate an estimated $294,000 for the financially strapped city. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
