Ex-State Senator Don Perata, who is running for mayor of Oakland, now supports legalizing marijuana statewide, according to the Chron. Perata is scheduled to be one of the headline speakers today at the Tax Cannabis 2010 kickoff campaign, a planned statewide initiative that would allow California adults to legally possess up to one ounce of pot and let the state tax marijuana proceeds. The initiative was written by Richard Lee, founder of Oaksterdam University, a medical marijuana educational facility in Oakland’s Uptown district.
