Prop 19 udates--

[e30polak]

The problem is that most stoners are too lazy to vote.

This is part of the reason. However there are plenty of people against it as well, including all the big time bud dealers, growers, cannibus club owners. If Prop 19 passes, a lot of people would be out of easy money.

I voted yes, but I don't see it winning this time. Next election it will IMO.

word on the CNN link.

i cant believe that AZ is 50/50% split on their MMJ bill! 87% tally


I've heard here in CO, MMJ dispensery competition has driven the prices on a OZ down to roughly 30% of the pre-MMJ "market values"

now THAT is a free market correction

the alley dwellers are having a hell of a time staying competitive since an initiative passed that required a certain percentage of their mmj inventory to be grown by the dispensory on location, so supply is massively hugh right now - i can't wait to see what happens around here come April (tax time!) I doubt the IRS is gonna have any time to audit anyone else cause they'll be too busy combing the pot joints' books.

there are so many distributors in Colorado its not even funny. there are 4 competing dispensories on the same square block as my office. They've eaten up all of the vacant rental properties left in the wake of the "recession". I'm looking forward to seeing what the results are on the Colorado Springs 1A initiative - to zone all mmj dispensory operations outside of the city limits - imo, there's no way in hell this is going to pass. so much real estate has been purchased and/or is under lease contracts already, it would just be rather much of a slap in the face - lawsuits would be falling left and right.

Maybe it failed because 49% of 18-34 y.o.'s in California haven't bothered to register to vote.

big problem in this state, i dont fucking get it.. no one wants to have their voice heard? honestly takes a few minutes to vote...

now all the people who didnt register will start bitching about it not passing.

[HarryPotter]

Voting isn't hip anymore brah, everyone does it.

[imsotyerred]

i'm disappointed in you californians who didn't make it out

and the cannabis users who voted against

[red325]

Bummer. I think the outcome would have been different if there weren't so many greedy dealers and dispensaries.

[Raxe]

I don't think it lost because all of the dealers teamed up and voted together.

So now what happens? Are they just going to keep putting it on the ballot every election until it passes?

there were many reasons, not the least of which was dispensaries and street dealers

And that is exactly what they're gonna do. Colorado and Massachusetts advocates are going to put something into action within the next year or two, Cali advocates will get it back on the ballot for 2012.

They're gonna keep putting it up until the citizens are tired of seeing it (or until the citizens finally get their heads out of their asses about cannabis)
