Beginning in 2018 the multi billion dollar cash crop, Marijuana, will add to our states GDP, and reduce costs to local government in terms of law enforcement (police, probation, courts). Bad for the Pharmaceutical and Adult Beverage Industries, but ending of the black market will increase tax revenue and continue California as an economic behemoth.
Maybe not. Pot is water intensive.
Yeah, and another of California's major economic pillars is its' agriculture. That agriculture depends on water from out of state.
The California folks seem to think that they can go it alone, but once the fresh water runs out, they are fucked. If they had studied their history, they would have known what happened to the ancient cultures once the water runs dry.

I don't remember any members in this thread that California will and can do it alone........ We are just defending ourselves from the aggressors.
Can you name a state in America where they can do it alone?
If water runs out worst comes to worst........ there's this last option desalination plant like we have right now in Catalina island. So don't worry about water. We will survive.
I agree, I already pointed that out.
To make desalination plants enough to support the poor and the multitudes of the entire State?!?
Kiss your bragging rights about having such a prosperous GNP and economy down the tubes. Hell, West Virginia will have more growth after such a project.
I don't know what makes you think you are going to keep the cost of California produce competitive on the world market if you have to pay for energy to water it with desalinized ocean water. . . .
Maybe Google will agree to a 75% tax rate?
