Nah, even if it did, they were wanting to introduce a bill that would push a state-wide tax of $50 per oz (in addition to the selling price).Originally posted by mr. leisureComment -
Unfortunately it is going down
WTF! Odds were 3 to 2 in favor of Prop 19 2 weeks ago and now it's down 55 to 45.
Either this election was rigged or California is full of lots of dumb fucks. Maybe both.Comment -
It does not look good for this to pass.Comment -

That's fuckin' selfish. If it passed in California then other states wold follow suit and other countries too. Not to mention how important Hemp is. Also people on trips to California would buy and toke up.Originally posted by flyingilliniComment -
It would've easily passed, except all the stoners forgot to go vote.Comment -
Its easy to motivate those who want to stifle the liberties of others.
Put a vote to make offshore betting a jailable crime - it passes.
Put a vote to make smoking anywhere outside your house illegal, it'll pass.
Put a vote to ban interracial marriage (it won't pass, but it would have as recently as 1985 when support for interracial marriage was at 44%. I bet you'd still see 20-30% voting to ban it)
Civil rights would never have passed if it had come up for a yes/no citizenry vote.Comment -
Like Illini said, it's so easy to get as it is. You can roll down to the Venice boardwalk and get a recommendation in 5 minutes, walk 20 feet down the way and get all the chron you want.
The problem with the proposition is that it didn't spell out exactly how it would be taxed. As soon as someone writes one that gives a bunch of weed taxes to schools, it will pass.
Also the way to make money on medical pot is to grow it yourself and sell it to a collective. In most counties, the current law allows you to grow a specific number of plants.Comment -
think of all the jobs this would create and tax dollars for California who REALLY REALLY needs it. If this doesnt pass its like letting money fly out the window.Comment -

You don't even have to go to Venice. All the Cities have ads everywhere for walk in clinics to get your card within minutes.Originally posted by gauchojakeהמוסד

46% yes
54% no
as of this moment. It's a loser!Comment -
I only used Venice as an example because it's so blatant and in your face. It's there if you want it, that's for sure.Originally posted by flyingilliniComment -
It don't look like it is going to pass now as just was said on CNN.Comment -

Even if it passed it would probably be overturned. In California the people's vote doesn't count for much.Comment -
the Feds would not this happen...Comment -
i am sorta glad it didn't either.. got a lot of people that need that $$$Originally posted by flyingilliniComment -
So is weed legal in California?
Just need to know if I need to move.

Prop 19 did not pass
Stupid fuckin' Californians!
Morons in San Francisco also re-elected shithead Nancy Pelosi over a much better candidate: John Dennis.
Dennis is pro-Cannabis legalization while Pelosi would not take a stand
Dennis want's out of Afghanistan, Iraq, and most of the countries of the world where we have bases, I can assure you that Nancy does not.
Dennis thinks gays should be able to serve only in the military and thinks gays have as much right to Marry as straights. That should be right up SF's alley. Nancy Pelosi hates gays in comparison.
What the hell is wrong with people?Comment -
No 55%
Yes 45%
it was close but no cigarComment -
Its still legal to obtain marijuana through prescription medication although you just need to have money to bribe the doctors and you can LEGALLY buy marijuana.Comment -
Recommendation, NOT prescription.Originally posted by AribaAribaComment -
wow, all the early polls showed it was gonna pass with easeComment -
Stoners too lazy to vote. It's easy to get weed anyway.Comment -
i really thought this was gonna pass cuz california is really cash-strapped and really high unemployment. If prop 19 would've passed thats alot of new jobs, alot of tourism, alot of tax dollars going to the state. It's a win-win but it still failed.....
maybe in 2012
Comment -
damn, that's too bad.
here's to winning the next time on the ballot.Comment -
My boys live out their and they said it is a joke anyway. They say pretty much if you go to certain doctors all you have to do is pay $100 to get your card and go get your weed whenever.Comment -
yep! It really is that easy. Still would have set a good precedent if the prop 19 passed. Paving the way.Originally posted by GiveMeaBJComment -

All the mom-and-pop stoner grow-groups were afraid that the "big operators" would move in and lower the cost of production 90% and drive them out of operation so they went on the offensive to get a no vote out.
Comment -
As far as i know anyone involved in selling distrubution and transporting it making good money voted no.Comment -
It was very surprising to see this prop lose by such a large number when the Liberals were winning everything else in California. If it did not win this time, it will never win. Most of the Liberal propositions lost. It shows the stupidity of the California Voters. They vote for the Liberals who want to spend their money, but aginst any proposition that would spend money.
