6. If you want some takeaways from Oregon's and Washington's experience

Both successful ballot measures were presented in a very respectable, businesslike way. Measure 91 was "smarter approach Oregon".

California has had problems similar to the ones Oregon's previous measure suffered from- competing measures at cross purposes, uninvolved if not actively hostile stakeholders, like some groups of growers, etc.

I think if smart people get on it in CA and make sure everyone is working together, this time it is a fairly done deal.
