Why did they outlaw it?

Why does California exist?

California has a history fo being our nation's leader in "Big Brotherism."

Has this somethin to do with toluene in balsarite ? I know that the silicon wafer fabs in ca use chemicals and gases that poses more danger than balsarite. Funny state........
