Prop19 Loses!

Prop19 Loses! California's pot legalization measure has failed, according to results coming in from major media sources. Prop 19 would have allowed people in the state of California to possess small amounts of marijuana for their own personal use.

The nation watched with bated breath, but the measure didn't pass. However, I think this is the way the bill was crafted more than a general sentiment over smoking pot.

The legislation as written gave the power to set taxes to municipalities. In essence counties and even cities could have price wars to effectively price each other of what would likely be a very lucrative market.

If the legislation is tightened up and people educated about the initiatives and the true effect it would have on the state/local government budgets, the outcome could change in future elections.

Are you bummed that Prop19 loses?

  6. I was hoping it would pass. but more for commercializing hemp products than for smoking. What a waste of a renewable durable resource. Hemp can save the planet.

  9. It's now more plain than ever: Too many people are just plain stupid. The fact that millions of law-targeted-smokers didn't overwhelmingly support Prop 19, and as a result their own futures is astonishing! What were they thinking? This was their one chance to protect themselves from criminal records, jail time, loss of property, legal fees, certain long-term job discrimination and ongoing social margnilization. And they sat home smoking! What idiots.
