Reader Poll: Do You Think CA Prop 19 Will Pass?
Joe | Aug 13, 2010 | Comments 8
In less than three months voters in California will go to the polls, and one of the issues they will be able to vote on is California Proposition 19 – the measure to legalize cannabis for those over 21 years of age. By most accounts it is going to be a close vote.
We want to know what our readers think, no matter where you live; do you think Prop 19 will pass this November? Will Richard Lee and the Oaksterdam campaign machine be able to defeat such icons as Dianne Feinstein and Jerry Brown, and restore a bit of freedom to CA? Or will the powers that be crush the upstarts from the Bay Area and beyond and continue the scourge of marijuana prohibition? Let us know what you think, and comments are always welcome.

The Govt. came up with crazy reasons, the public became more aware of those that have smoked, and became less fearful of weed.
The public knows the crimes commited by alcohol use is very high, and the weed abuse is low.
Yes, kids will get alcohol, and yes, kids will get weed, but what’s working now, is not working at all.
So FREE THE WEED and see, the hype will die down, and possible jobs can open in manufacturing farmers of Hemp, to those working the fields, to turning hemp into large amounts of natural products.
It’s high times, no pun intended, that we come together and see all the great benefits from hemp farming, hemp progucts, creative way to creat better strains of weed for the smokers, but both need to be free and legal and we can have a green earth. A safer one, because anyone 21 over, can grow, buy, smoke, make, sell hemp products.
The only crime I see is the kid next door, age 13, trying to steal the neighbors weed growing in the backyard. Slap the kids hand and send home. In my day, they would slap my hand and send me home stoned if I said no I don’t want any….lol

[...] week The 420 Times asked our readers if they thought California Prop 19 would pass this November. In our most popular poll thus far, you answered a resounding yes, with 82% of the [...]
“People think it’s legalization, it’s being sold as legalization—even though it’s the opposite of legalization.” – Dennis Peron, author of Prop. 215 that legalized medical marijuana in California
Read the actual proposition!!! The wording is VERY UNCLEAR, and doesn’t protect prop 215 patients. It reduces your grow area down to a 5′x 5′ space, and also look up this person:Richard Lee and why HE wants it so called:”legalized” He is creating a monopoly in Oakland, and they are letting it happen! He will make billions off of this, by tricking the voters with this old, out-dated proposition from the 1970s! There have been other propositions and initiatives written for the decriminalizing of marijuana and they actually make sense!
unfortunately prop19againstpatientrights is right. i thought it was a dream come true when i heard about this but when you research the law (which has many facets to it)..it gives richard lee more business (who is already a multi-millionaire) by taking a lot of small time players out of the market. It also does not free anyone from prison and actually creates a new law where it is illegal to smoke or give to anyone under 21. A very harsh law like it is illegal to give alcohol to anyone under 21. there are blots out there that have the truth. research it. see for yourself. and then lets work together and pass the RIGHT law to legalize weed in 2012. (the next large election where we will have a larger turnout of younger voters not just baby-boomers which will happen in this mid-term election – which is why this law is doomed to fail anyway)
19 will pass easily
Doesn’t matter because people could care less about backwoods draconian drug laws anymore. I say it will pass easily
if they do legalize herb and the feds say no than that means america is not free it means the feds can do what ever they want and we are just cattle .
