California Assemblyman and LGBT activist Tom Ammiano is set to introduce a bill legalizing marijuana and raising as much as US $1 billion by applying a sales tax on the drug.

Ammiano press secretary Quintin Mecke says the proposed bill “would remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21.”

The bill will also prohibit state and local law officials from enforcing federal marijuana laws.

Ammiano, a Democrat who represents San Francisco in the California state legislature, seeks to rescue his state from an economic crisis by “establishing a fee on the sale of marijuana at a rate of $50 per ounce.” It is estimated that taxing marijuana sales could raise as much as US $1 billion for state coffers.
