Do you think Proposition 19 will pass?

There have probably been a lot of topics about this, but I haven't seen any. I wonder what peoples opinions are on whether prop 19 will pass in California, making marijuana legal to a certain extant. I don't want responses to get too opinionated so please don't argue about marijuana itself. I want to hear good arguments as to why you think it will or won't pass.

First I need an answer. Are most Californians potheads? Just a simple yes or no.

Yes. And then it will get struck down.

That is kind of a complex question. What do you consider a pothead, what would you classify as most Californians?

Pothead as in, smokes a lot of pot and when you see them, you go, "I bet that guy's voting for proposition 19." because that's the first thing to come to mind.:lol: Most Californians as in...Most Californians.

It will probably pass..i have no idea why though..

Yes. And it should.

The entire drug prohibition is just a fascist power-trip our governments went on a while ago.

I think it will. The last polls I showed show that live-call polls show it about even, while robo-call polls show it passing by high single-digit/low double-digit margins. The implication of course is that people don't want to say they will vote for it because they don't want to be accused of just voting for it because they smoke, but with the anonymity of the ballot box, they will support it.chessmaster1989

Maybe.Would be cool.

Hell,here's another fun fact.

There was some dude that said (in 1984,I think) that marijuana can turn you into a homosexual and what would follow was more people getting Aids.

Ha ha...

To be fair, same sex marriage is a much more controversial issue than marijuana legalization. California hasn't seen the same kind of opposition campaign for Prop 19 as it saw in support of Prop 8.

Prop 19 has no such challenges.

Yes it will.... but i don't think it should! its the last thing our society needs haha.

dont see what the big deal for MJ is. i know its not really that bad.

Marijuana in California is pretty much legal as it stands, with or without Proposition 19. Just take a walk across a beach and you'll see.

Yeah I think it will pass. We'll see how well it does a wide-scale.

If it does pass, the federal government had better file a lawsuit against California.

That would really say something interesting if the federal government prosecutes a state for wanting to enforce immigration laws but lets another state off scot free that legalizes pot.

Yes. And then it will get struck down.

Pixel-Pirate

I think it will be very very close. There is a lot of money in it for the state, so I'm sure the politicians hope it passes regardless of what they're saying in public.wstfld

I hope not.

If this passes them it will lead to people asking for other drugs to be legalised

I guarantee it

I highly doubt that Proposition 19 will cause an uproar like that. Whether it passes or not, it'll turn out to be relatively insignificant in the end anyway. Don't start stressing yet. ;)
