Agree completely legalization being inevitable. Too many over 60 folks were indoctrinated by “refer madness” propaganda. Like deep seated racism, it just has to die off ….
I voted yes on 19. I don’t smoke pot, but I want no part of a government that declares war on its own people who choose to smoke pot. I turn 49 next month. The war on pot takes money out of my wallet that I would prefer to spend on something useful, and ruins far more lives than smoking pot could come close to ruining on its own.
The government has done a remarkable job of reducing the number of tobacco smokers in the U.S. Maybe they should try that route with pot (and soda, Happy Meals, and corn chips, for that matter) instead of lame propaganda, jail, guns and ruining lives.
Aside from the legalization issue, I really want Prop 19 to pass so we can see what Obama, Pelosi, and Harry “Deadhead” Reid do to oppose the will of the people in a liberal state like California.
Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman both say they are against Prop 19. Guess they are afraid to lose the over 60 voters and law enforcement union support.
Aside from Prop 19, this was a tough ballot to stomach. A real nose-holder for the governor, senate, and congressional representative races. I did see fit to write myself in for a few of the local boards (water board sounds like an easy way to sponge off the CA taxpayers and bondholders).
