Prop 19: Rejected by voters

source

-People will still purchase,sell, and grow it illegally

-Caretls will keep on making money instead of us

Thoughts?

I still don't understand what people fear about it.

i blame nancy reagan

why the hell would someone not vote for it

Well then I suppose nothing will change. Status quo for the time being.

It's just unbelievable how scared people are of the idea of legalizing marijuana

Edit: We had a discussion about the thing in my English 3 class today (a college class mind you) and I felt completely attacked by a majority of the class because I voted yes, they couldn't see any reason why I would want it legalized, it just baffles me

*sigh* My theory is that most people are against pot because it's associated with liberals. Drugs such as alcohol and tobacco are legal because they're associated with the conservative movement and thus seen as more wholesome, despite the fact that they're more dangerous and unhealthy. I mean...I'm sure it's a lot more complex than that, but I think that's what's at the heart of the matter.

Would have been struck down anyway. Supremacy clause and all that.

I think the numbers were done and they said the elderly, 60+ were not in favor, along with the 39-49 age group (parents) as well. We have the older generation still eating up the propaganda and parents trying to keep their kids from doing it apparently. HoolaHoopMan

60+? Isn't that the flower power, hippie living, free loving generation? I'd think they'd be the first to be advocates.

Kind of expected honestly. It doesnt really matter though. The question is not if Marijuana will become legal, but when. When you have an incredibly strong and misinforming propaganda movement sweep through a nation and then those ideals are taught and passed on through a few generations its really hard to recover.

We are obviously getting there though. By 2020 I'm sure we'll be looking back on this and having a good laugh.

I voted yes on it. People can get it easily from those medical marijuana places anyway.Allicrombie

oh well. Next topic :P

Must be. But seeing all those shows, talking to my parents and stuff it seemed to be a huge majority. Especially in San Fran. Weird.

Just a very vocal minority I guess.

Wouldn't matter since the FBI would've stepped in otherwise

Similar to gay marriage, I think it's only a matter of time until both are legal.

Good......more college kids can complain now. Blame game, here we come!Wilfred_Owen

Marijuana lovers always amuse me with their passion and arguments :PGazaAli

I voted no because it'd take away my buisness!* It wouldn't be as fun to show up to work stoned off my ass!

*I do not have any interaction with any illegal substances. It's only a joke. I actually didn't vote at all but hoped this would pass to generate more tax money and to kill off damn gang/cartel revenue.

Sure, but not as much as Marijuana haters annoy me with their ignorance and lack of solid arguments.

Actually I said that because I know a few people who voted against it simply because they grow and sell it. I find it sad honestly.

I know you're joking, but I've seen even worse arguments than that oddly enough.

Pretty much. What good is it to try to get it legalized on the State level when the Feds are just going to walk all over it? Nice sig, btw.

Hmm, and nothing in my life will change. I had no reason against it in the first place though.

Drug cartels paid big money to shoot down this proposition.

Wow, that was an interesting read. A few inconsistencies, but definitely gave me a new perspective on the situation.
