Proposition 19 Results Look Bad

Despite months of campaigning for those in support of Proposition 19, it looks as those the legalization of marijuana in the state o California will not be happening anytime soon. Even though only a fraction of total votes in the 2010 California election have been counted, those which have, indicate that Prop 19 will not pass.

With support from celebrities and politicians alike, such as Vicente Fox, George Soros, Tom Bates, and Ed Rosenthal, Proposition 19 just couldn’t overcome the statements made by US Attorney General Eric Holder in mid October stating that the Federal Government would still make recreational marijuana use illegal even if Prop 19 had passed. The proposition which got off to a tremendous start in the the first 10 months of the year just couldn’t develop enough of a following to win the majority of California voters liking. Pre-election polling done in July indicated that approximately 50% of voters supported the Proposition, while about 39% were against it. These numbers seemingly went the other way after Holder’s comments last month

With 17% of the votes counted in California, proposition 19 commands just 44% in favor of it, while 56% of California voters have voted “no”. Sure we still have the majority of votes in the state to be counted, however if early indication mean anything, proposition 19 certainly looks like it is dead in the water, at least for this year’s elections.

    Reason fails. Build more prisons. Hire more cops. Pass more laws. Send more $ to Mexico.

    To bad. I was hoping California would lead the way in ending our current foolishness. We are currently doubling the size of the nearby prison.
    A few numbers.
    “The United States comes in first, too, on a more meaningful list from the prison studies center, the one ranked in order of the incarceration rates. It has 751 people in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. (If you count only adults, one in 100 Americans is locked up.)

    The only other major industrialized nation that even comes close is Russia, with 627 prisoners for every 100,000 people. The others have much lower rates. England’s rate is 151; Germany’s is 88; and Japan’s is 63.

    The median among all nations is about 125, roughly a sixth of the American rate.”

    yes seriously…. think about it if they tax it and sell it all that money would go to the government instead of the Mexican cartels and random dealers out there there would be way less people in jail which = less tax money going to house prisoners that are in the re for marijuana while rapist and murders go free. most Americans that dont smoke dont know what its uses are and the benefits of it due to the propaganda thats the schools and everyone portrays about marijuana. the only reason its illegal is cuz nixon had to silence the protesters( most of witch were hippies) lol but because of the freedom of speech the only way he could was the control substance act ( what makes it illegal)

    Californians really FCUKed up on Nov 2nd. I thought they were progressive but they just THINK they are. Hopefully Apple, HP, AMD, Intel, Google, Yahoo, FaceBook and other global high-tech/Net companies will ditch Cali’s borders and move elsewhere so as not to be brought down by the IGNORANCE in that state. Maybe even Oakland/San Fran and some of the other progressive Cali cities can SECEDE from the state.

    Again, I, a Canadian, am sorely disappointed. In fact, the US has lost her way a loooong time ago: Wars, corporate un-free market corruption, a bankrupt federal government (including Cali’s), declining education system & common SENSE, progressive obesity et al have done in all the hard work the Founding Fathers built.

    Besides, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Czech Republic and a host of countries are waaaaaaaaay ahead of you on drug policy.
