So much hyperbole in this comment… Yes, CA is one of the better states in the United States, but it is by no means half of the things you say. No, it is not the #1 economy in the world (hello, the rest of the US exists, as does China and Japan and Germany)[1]. Neither was CA the first to pioneer recreational marijuana or decriminalize drugs. Other states like WA and CO did it first, not to mention other countries like the Netherlands or Portugal. Nor was CA the shining beacon of LGTB rights. Do you not remember Prop 8? Nor did we do a bang-up job of protecting our environment, or do you not remember the drought and wildfires of recent years, exacerbated by our unchecked agriculture which is pumping our aquifers dry for some of the most water-hungry crops (like almonds). I'll stop here because I have to board a flight and you get the point. Surely you know half the things you said aren't true.
