[AZ] Arizona Prop 203 Results Available?

[AZ] Arizona Prop 203 Results Available? Another marijuana legalization measure was on the ballot during the 2010 mid term elections. Arizona prop 203 would legalize marijuana in the state of Arizona, but appears to have failed by a very, very narrow margin.


This again signifies why every vote counts.


Among other things, Prop 203 would create not only a way for suffering individuals to seek some relief from their symptoms, but would bring in tax revenue to the state and would also reduce the amount of money heading to Mexico and hopefully bring down drug crimes.


In addition, Prop 19 was defeated in California, which would have become the first state to widely approve the use of marijuana by all citizens, an not just for medical purposes.


It seems that given the narrow margins, marijuana usage is a bi-partisan issue that people are still resistant to. It's sad, but it appears as if Prop 203 has failed. Bummer.

[203] Arizona Prop 203 Results [UPDATE]

Arizona's Prop 203 failed, making it yet another marijuana based measure to fail. Jan Brewer, the governor and governor elect of Arizona was against the measure. She won by a landslide, yet the vote failed by just over 6,500 votes.

Every vote counts, people - and this is why!

Passing medical marijuana laws in Arizona would be able to clear up a little bit of the war on drugs in the state which borders Mexico. It would add to the economy, and keep money in the US rather than sending it across the border.

However, it didn't count, and chances are there were a lot of people who wanted it to pass but didn't make it out to vote.

However, Prop 203 failed. Bummer. Another one bites the dust...at least in 2010.
