Prop 19 udates--

[Jon325i]

Its not done yet you fucking retard.

This is true. Abenstee ballots to be counted which always takes additional time to tally.

I will say this - a decade ago, the pro & con camps for pot legalization is this state were far apart, but the gap between the two has been narrowing. As opinions continue to change/evolve with time, I bet we'll see the day when it does become legal. As liberal as California is, its only a matter of time.

i wrote a 5pg paper about why people should legalize marijuana should i post it?

i dont smoke but there are valid points with research which backs it up

[TheEtaUnderdog]

It isn't over yet, only 15% of precincts have reported.

Personally, I don't see why we in this country can't treat weed like what it is...An intoxicating consumable...just like alcohol

If legalization comes to pass I really would hope for them to, honestly, be treated in a similar fashion...

don't show up to work drunk/drink at work
don't drive drunk
don't drink in public (like on the street corner)
don't bring alcohol onto school grounds

These are all things that, if i were making the rules, would apply to MJ just the same. the tricky part is enforcement...can't really breathalyze for *how* high someone is

EDIT: still 56% 44% with 17% reported

this seems way too stable...something aint right

the big part is like you said, you can't easily detect it like you can alcohol.

good fucking luck

+1 for all that, I've no problem with legalization (although I wouldn't/couldn't start smoking anyways, I'm in the Marine Corps reserve).

Prop 19 though, just seems silly. Almost as if someone had the section I brought up written in 'on purpose'...to kill its chance of passing.

a large number of people - illegal dealers, illegal growers, medical growers and even dispensaries....All to protect their own profits

Humbolt county voted a landslide 'NO' apparently about 90%

damn guys that sucks, sorry for y'all stoners.

Yeah for sure, that's a great solution. Everyone simply grow their own marijuana right along with their own vegetables, cattle and chicken in their tiny suburban backyards.

You and I both know that when production goes up, quality goes down.

BFD, you have Budwieser and you have San Adams.

You will have cheap dope that'll work in a pinch and you have those small quality growers with the KGB.

Everybody can be happy as you will have a choice on what to purchase.

Moot point as it looks like it will fail.:(

Alcohol? I agree.

[T Verdier]

I don't smoke or drink. But it's obvious to me which one is more dangerous and should be illegal. I can't believe anyone can even argue about it.

[imsotyerred]

Interesting, I really thought it would pass.

What killed it for me (of course, assuming I was a Cali resident) was the fact that it disallowed employers to preemptively remove workers from their duties if they looked/smelled/acted like they were high on pot. Even if that worker's job included operating heavy/dangerous machinery. After watching a car fall off a lift onto a tech at work (who later tested positive for marijuana, and showed obvious signs of it beforehand) there's no way in hell I'd want that passed. Especially from a small business owner's perspective; the safety/liability aspect is horrendous.

Whenever I (rarely) see someone at work who seems to be under the influence of drugs, alcohol, meds, etc., I pull his ass for a conversation PRONTO. There's too much at stake for some bullshit like that in a (industrial style) working environment.

Other than that, what the hell, let em all smoke it up, I guess.
