SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco is getting ready to deal with the possibility of marijuana legalization. California voters are expected to decide on a proposition to legalize pot by 2016.

It remains to be seen whether San Francisco will be prepared.

The Examiner reports that a 22-member task force is in the works to formulate the city's strategy, including how people can use the drug.

For example, if it can be added to food.

The board of supervisors is expected to vote in support of the task force next week.
