Prop 19, California's Marijuana Proposition, Fails

Prop 19, California's marijuana proposition failed during last week's elections. Despite the loss, prop 19 has brought up a lot of dialogue about the legalization of marijuana. After all, could this be the prohibition of our generation?

Back when alcohol was illegal, everyone said that it would increase crime to legalize it. However, there was a lot of bootlegging - similar to how there is the illegal drug market today.

Legalizing marijuana would help keep money in the US instead to the Mexican drug market.

On the other hand, there are a lot of issues that aren't ironed out such as how to you enforce smoking/driving laws, workforce issues, and more. In addition, a more comprehensive method to tax sale of marijuana is needed as well.

What are your thoughts on prop 19.

California Marijuana 2010 Proposition Debates

California Marijuana 2010 proposition debates are rolling in. Should California's marijuana proposition, aka Prop 19, pass? Some are saying that the legalization of marijuana across the broad public would be a good thing.

There are some who say that the California's marijuana proposition would create an economy for a state which is suffering 12.4% unemployment. In addition, it would help raise tax revenues for the California state government.

Those against the measure claim that it will inspire drug abuse, bring down worker productivity and increase crime. Arguments that the marijuana legalization will take a product off the black market fall on deaf ears.

The debate will continue for the next few hours or until the polls close tonight. Then, if it passes or fails will open up more debates in the future.
