If visionaries could get involved, medical & recreational marijuana would now be legal- AND- the tax revenue could be routed to not only assist others (mental health patients) but also pay for the mass transit rail system. 

Take the tax burden off the general population, help pay off the big $$$ to complete the rail line and remove vehicles off the roads.  And there, again, visionary- reduce carbon footprint, air pollution, wear & tear on roads (which would then help defer road repair costs / taxes). 

With recreational MJ, reduce the risk of alcoholism and DUIs and violence associated with drunken brawls.
