Do You Support Proposition 19? (Anyone Can Answer)

This Tuesday California citizens will have the opportunity to vote on Proposition 19, which will legalize, regulate, and tax Cannbis for personal use for adults 21 and over. You can view the specifics of the law here: http://www.ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_19,_the_Marijuana_Legalization_Initiative_%282010%29

Personally even as a Massachusetts resident I fully support the proposition, and it’s long over due. Getting Marijuana legalized has been an incredibly tough battle thus far, and to finally see at least one state end this era of ignorance would be a landmark victory in the campaign to change Marijuana laws. I realize the bill isn’t perfect, but consider the fact that if Proposition 19 does not pass this Tuesday, chances are we won’t have another shot at legalization for at least another decade or two. People make the case that it’s already decriminalized in some states (my own included) but I say that is not enough. I want to be able to procure Cannabis in a relaxed, risk free environment where I won’t get fucked over by some douchebag teenager. What do you guys think?

Makes sense to me.

" I support any proposition that will make a conservative cry, so yes. "

No, I don't support it. I'm not particularly against it, but I'm not all for it either. It's hard to tell what kind of effect this would have.

I'm Canadian and I support this proposition. Waiting to find out the results ... 
Legalization in California could start a domino effect across North America. Here's to hoping.

I vote YES for proposition 69.

Nope, not really.

I am against smoking so no.

Prop 19 will change the world!

All for it

I like to tell other people what they can and can't do with their own bodies.

"I am against smoking so no. "

I support this. I don't smoke, however I act like i'm always high. I'm high on life.

" I like to tell other people what they can and can't do with their own bodies. "

im 100% for it, got family down there so when i go to visit i can see how that shit runs and maybe procure some,  
 
if i voted id vote yes

" I support any proposition that will make a conservative cry, so yes. "

I have no problem with weed itself. I only have a problem with people who smoke too much and won't shut up about it. Also it puts money in california's pocket, what is bad about that?

Other places can do it, why not Americans.

Yes, I support it.  I don't smoke weed myself and think it's stupid, but as long as alcohol and smoking is legal, so should marijuana.

No

I voted no because potheads are annoying.

Vote yes, vote no, it doesn't matter. A state cannot make a law that violates federal law. We kinda fought an entire Civil War based on that premise...

Anyone in Cali that thinks this can pass is an idiot.   
 
The feds say weed is 100% illegal, States can't make up laws that counter that.   
 
It defeats the entire purpose of the feds then.

I make my own question: Would I support the legalization of Marijuana in my country? Yes.

I would vote no, because...

Sure why not. It's ridiculous that it is illegal when alcohol and tobacco are legal.

No. In fact, hell no!

" I am against smoking so no. "

I don't smoke pot, but I've never agreed with government regulation of acts that affect only the individual (you can regulate derived acts, such as driving while under the influence, but I don't believe in limiting personal liberties because of possible resulting actions); as such, I'm strongly in favor of prop. 19. 
 
Or, as some of my more discerning friends put it: potthevote.

I'm against PS3, so it should be criminalized. See what I did there? "

I'm from the UK so I fully admit to not quite understanding how American law is enforced but if Federal Law overrides State Law then what is the point of trying to legalise marijuana at the State Law level if it'll still be considered illegal by Federal Law?

It's fucking asinine that pot is illegal.
 
At the very least, prop 19 is a step in the right direction.

I'm in favor of it but anyone who think it's going to pass is high.

" I voted no because potheads are annoying. "

As long as it doesn't get out of control, I'm all for it. I don't smoke and never will, marijuana or tobacco, but I feel that it that this should be legal.

Is 19 "continue to NOT eat babies?"

" I am against smoking so no. "

Just because you don't smoke doesn't make that justification for voting against it. If we used that kind of thinking then anything you didn't do should be illegal. How about... I don't smoke but I respect the rights of others to do what they want to their body as long as it doesn't negatively affect me. That sounds more like responsible and adult thinking. "

" I vote YES for proposition 69. "

"I'm against PS3, so it should be criminalized. See what I did there? "

I'm all for it. It's going to happen eventually and from my personal experience people who smoke pot are far less annoying and dangerous than someone drunk out of their mind. From a financial point of view it will allow the government of California to stop spending millions housing and prosecuting people caught with small amounts of marijuana (obviously illegal dealers need to be prosecuted) and it will provide a new source of tax income. So, go forth and vote Cali. At least you have something worth voting on as opposed to the disgusting mud slinging going on here in WV over Robert C. Byrd's senate seat.
