They went and did it!
The city of Oakland will now become the first municipality in the nation to formally tax marijuana. A resounding 80 percent of the votes in a special write in amendment were cast in favor of the pot tax provision.
Scheduled to come into effect on New Year's day the new tax will add more than a quarter million bucks to the cash-strapped city's coffers.
Known as Measure F, the tax will only affect the pot clubs in Oakland. There are 800 other pot clubs in California for the state to tax.
