( robin ) when california voters passed the law that made marijuana legal for adults, they had high hopes that the golden state would reap financial benefits from the formerly illict industry. it had been predicted that the state might eventually collect a billion dollars a year in taxes. but so far.. that appears to be a pipe dream. kron4's maureen kelly takes a look at why we have fallen far short of what was projected. natsback in 2014 rapper michael quintinilla aka mic

quin...became a marijuana mogul when he says he and his crew developed a new kind of pot product.combining a nugget of weed ... with cannabis oil and glazing with with finely grated pot particles called kief....in order to produce a super charged dose of thc. 15:54 that's what we were shooting for let's make this hybrid nug with all of these stuff in it and hey what do we call it and lets call it moon rockhe and his team used their rap video to promote moon rock....and it took off.. for a time it was selling in 500 dispensary retailing for 30 bucks a gram.22:10 it just took off faster than we can anticipate. i just wanted to get a name in the music industry it skyrocketed into a big name in a cannabis industry but he had to stop selling his product because he lacks the proper permits required now under the new law. he's trying to get permits to open a cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and distribution

center in modesto. it's a process that can take anywhere from 9 to 18 months. 26:40 i could paint a pretty picture and make it sound great but i call it a roller coaster ride, you have your ups and downs legalization advocates have long said that marijuana is california's real cash crop.....leading up to the vote that make adult recreational use legal....voters were told to expect that the next gold rush would be green....but while there are plenty of pot sales inside dispensaries.....so far the tax dollars that were expected to be generated aren't nearly as high as expected. when the state budget was drawn up....it was predicted that the excise and cultivatation taxes in the first six month of this year would total 175 million dollars.that figure may have been a pipe dream.the state office of tax and fee administration reports they've taken in close to 85 million from pot businesses in that time frame....which is less than half of what was hoped for. the sales tax totals during that same time was $53

million. which puts the total tax levied on weed....at nearly 138 million dollar. and some say the state and local goverment's overly burdensome regulations are to blame for the shortfall.35:19 the passage of prop 64 it's actually caused the market to constrict because it's created higher barriers to entry natalia thruston is a cannabis business attorney who helps clients navigate the many hurdles being put up by the state and local municipalities. 36:30 because the city and counties are taking a long time to process permits that people have applied to on a local level or even consider permitting it's creating a bottleneck in the industry because nobody can get up and running and operational unless they have a temporary permit which very few peopke are able

to obtain right now .one of her clients used to run a non profit medical rijuana delivery service that processed an average of $1500 a day in orders. but she decided to close up shop and become a cannabis consultant...because she says once prop 64 became law it was too expensive to stay in business....02:27 i see that i'ts very difficult for small businesses to continue or get into the business. it's unfortunate that i've had to tell a lot of my clients who come in wanting to open a dispensary that if they don't have a million and a half dollars it's probably not going to happen and with u-s banks unwilling to loan money to businesses operating in a market the federal government still considers illegal....smaller mom and pop entrepenuers are being forced to fold....or stay underground......and while some like rapper mic quin are able to bid their time while waiting for the red tape to loosen up....it's believed that a lot of pot products are being kept off dispensary store ( robin ) wednesday, san jose shined a spotlight on student homelessness. students and local elected officials are joining forces to call on voters to support state propositions one and two and local measure v. with as many as 400 san jose state students living in cars or couch-surfing and thousands

more across the csu system, supporters say state propositions one and two and local measure v would bring some relief.

there's an unusual excitement in the air.more than two-dozen youth-activist groups have scheduled a national walk-out tuesday.the goal is to get people out to vote.and it's not just students making that push.president trump is stumping in a number of states over the next few days including montana, tennessee and ohio.sarah huckabee sanders/white house press secretary"i think the president's the best messenger for the party. he has had an incredible, historic first two years in office and he has a great story to tell."one of the most closely-watched races is in texas.republican incumbent ted cruz is battling for his seat in the senate against democratic congressman beto o'rourke.a lot of eyes are on the gubernatorial contest in georgia between republican brian kemp and democrat stacey abrams.members of the white house, including vice president pence are campaigning for kemp.abrams has the backing of former presidents obama and carter, as well as oprah winfrey. meanwhile in wisconsin incumbent g-o-p governor scott walker is neck-and-neck with democratic challenger tony

evers.charles franklin/pollster "this last week may be a game of inches -- maybe millimeters to who gets the advantage." which means every vote counts. i'm john lorinc reporting. (robin) coming up next on the kron 4 morning news ... we'll hear how an actor from the 90's sitcom -boy meets world- sopped a burglary. ( robin ) actor william

"boy meets world"

star william daniels, 91, and his wife, 89-year-old bonnie bartlett, were able to scare off a would-be robber who broke into their home on saturday. daniels invited inside edition to his san fernando valley, california, house to see the scene of the crime.daniels said he and bartlett awoke to the sound of glass shattering as the thief kicked in the bottom of their back door. "we hear 'pow, pow, pow,'" the actor said. "bonnie yelled and i turned on the light."what happened next has become the stuff of legend. in reality, the burglar just ran, said daniels. but you wouldn't know that online, where tales of mr. feeny's heroism are sweeping the web.
