Proposition 19

also known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010.

California is having a state-wide ballot on Nov 2nd, that if passed, Prop 19 would legalize various marijuana-related activities, allow local governments to regulate these activities, permit local governments to impose and collect marijuana-related fees and taxes, and authorizes various criminal and civil penalties.

If it does pass, the sale of marijuana still remains illegal because of the Controlled Substance Act.

[More or less copy+pasted from Wikipedia:

I skimmed over the Wikipedia article, and made my opinions, but what do my followers think?




For or against?






And how are you doing?

  10. For. I wonder how many of the jobs that people are saying this will create will be for security guards for the fields where theyll grow it.

  11. the drug war is a huge failure, just like prohibition was. taxing it is a great idea, especially when governments are spending money quicker than a drunken sailor.

    sadly, if this passes, the federal gov't could step in and arrest people growing pot for the state
