A tweet from Senator Scott Wiener confirming the bill was passed: https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1399867521612881921

Passed the CA Senate... then it goes on to the CA Assembly for vote.

Anyone know the probability that this will make it all the way to becoming law?

A very significant result for drug policy modernization efforts everywhere. California is larger than many countries. Policymakers and politicians will be looking at the results of this change with great interest as they contemplate the risks and benefits of such a move in their own jurisdictions. If things goes broadly without incident (as I bet they will), then Prohibitionists will have less ammunition against policy modernization.
