Proposition 19 to legalize marijuana defeated | abc7.com
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- One of the most controversial measures on Tuesday's ballot is Proposition 19, the initiative to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana in California. It was sure to be challenged, even if voters approved it. Some lawmakers had already been preparing to tax cannabis sales. The measure was defeated Tuesday night.
The Associated Press called the measure defeated at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Well... its good to see you support big government. Welcome to the left. Dormitories are on the right. Koo-Laid stash is in the back. Don't forget to carry your 'We Hate America' manual wherever you go.

Was a "Blue" Falcon (lol).
Navy has always been a pro huge government Republican....
I cannot believe anyone who tokes wants the gov't imposing taxes on weed. Good Heavens, they've made cigarettes cost more than gold with all the taxes. The go'vt would make sure all the good stuff gets taken out of pot. While this seems like a defeat, consider it a victory for what it didn;t cost you.
The main problem with any of the de-criminalization laws is enacted by the states is the Feds will still send their own thugs to break down people's doors.
I don't think this instance is exactly like that. The two laws aren't in conflict. The federal law would still stand. But there would be no additional criminal penalties at the state level. There's no obligation for states to have laws that are redundant with federal laws.On top of that, even if Prop 19 passes, it's still federally illegal and the law falls the second it get's challenged by the federal government as federal law trumps state law.
On what grounds? What is the case that CA has to have redundant laws with the federal laws? Is there a federal law that describes what punishments states have to mete out for pot?California would end up spending more money that it doesn't have trying to defend the law during the challenge in federal court, etc, etc, etc. While the feds would put a hold on enacting said law for the challenge to go forward, meaning the bill would end up costing the state money without ever making it any money.
AmIRite?
Stoners are losers. Losers don't vote. Is it really a surprise this was defeated?
It doesn't matter anyway. Don't you pay a $5 fine for getting caught with it anyway in California? What's the point.
What an effed up state. LOL
Stoners are losers.
I would take those cost's over the cost's of imprisoning non violent drug offenders.
Also since I don't smoke it now, but probably would if it was legal, these wouldn't be an extra cost to me. Plus people I know who do smoke, would probably take that cost, over having to deal with drug dealers.
When you're paying $15 for a watered down joint, you won't be saying that. :naughty
True stoners are losers.
But am I truly a loser because I take a hit sometimes, watch family guy, eat some cookies and go to bed? Admittedly I've had my fair share of the Mairy Jaine, yet can still form a coherant sentence, still have a job which I am damned good at, go to the gym and get woman. Hoorah!
Well, carry on, then.
I mean, what is there to life more than that?
Are you being funny my dear? :2razz:
