It is the most populous and third largest state in the U.S., has a population roughly the size of Canada and it is the sixth largest economy in the world.

 Reason magazine -- April 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In January, REASON polled the U.S. congressional delegations of Arizona and California to gauge their reactions to the initiatives--and to the Clinton administration's repeated threats to prosecute doctors and patients alike who exercise their rights under the new laws.
Several congressional staffers expressed surprise and relief that the initiatives had not played a larger role during the last campaign.
Interestingly, though, the responses show that even ostensible supporters of the Clinton administration policy were uneasy with publicly pledging their allegiance to this particular drug war battle--and it is certainly worth noting that the congressional delegations consistently disagreed with the Clinton line by an almost two-to-one margin.
