I can not vote this issue because I am not live in California. But if I can get a right for vote, I must vote to no. Marijuana has a lot of problems, especially teenage group. Maybe some of money can get from legalizing marijuana, but we can lost more than we got. They can easily grape stronger drugs after Marijuana because this is gate way drug. I think this is wrong from the start.

Prop 19 is a good first step to full legalization. The thing about the glass in the bud.. really please. I’m sure that’s happened before but rarely at best. Actually it’s a good reason to legalize and control it.

what about street grade marijuana where the dealer crushes up glass and sprinkles it over the bud, trying to make it look like it has more trichromes – that cant be good for the lungs, and prop. 19 is not about making pot legal, it’s about taxing it -any amount over 28.5 grams is still illegal, not to mention the feds can come in at any time and do what the please.

I don’t think California should legalize marijuana because it will cause a lot of problems.

Huh?? Yeah ok… I really don’t know how to respond to TomMiller. You completely missed the point. In my perfect world cartels would be cut out by legalization and government regulation. However I am a realist. Anyone with more than 10 active brain cells knows that street grade heroin causes more hearthache than grass. It’s insanely addictive and if it was sold in stores like liquor it would likely be a disaster. The argument towards making pot legal is a very simple one. Booze is legal Pot is not. We all know which one does more damage and causes more deaths and problems. Add to that the huge benefits in taxing it and unless you are a conservative fat head who believes the morons that still like to call it the gateway drug while drinking a martini the choice is an easy one.

I think it’s you who is stuck in the Dark Ages, you’re ignorant about condemning heroin, which is like any other painkiller (ie morphine). Long term use of pharmaceutical heroin under sterile conditions is actually less detrimental than smoking marijuana (there is no organ damage like MJ affects on your lungs). The drug is painted in a bad light because of users going into withdrawal and stealing to obtain more of the drug, which only happens when there is a lack of the drug, which only happens because it is illegal. Also forcing a drug like heroin to be illicit brings in other problems like pushers cutting the drug with random adulterants which are extremely harmful to the body. If I was under the influence of heroin, you wouldn’t be able to tell… The drug is addictive unlike marijuana, but that is only really a problem when the drug becomes illegal, and users are forced to obtain the drug through illicit means.
