Prop 19 idealism. Would you like to share?
How do you feel about Proposition 19? I personally fully support it due to the copious resulting benefits pertinent to the economy and the fact it’s simply a small step closer toward full legalization. In the end, I’ll remain high whether it’s illegal or not; but I simply don’t condone the common negative view influenced by propaganda. I think Californians should really ruminate over the outcome of their actions. Would you like to help California and possibly inhibit the sales of the dangerous available “drug” known as alcohol and bring substantial income toward education or do nothing at all for Cali? I feel that if cannabis is available, alcohol distribution will perish and as a driver I would certainly aspire that. It’s evident that cannabinoid intoxication is far safer as a recreational substance. Let’s look beyond the bullshit shall we? How do you feel? Please convey your perspective! Especially if you live in California.
Note: Please no replies from greedy growers defending their medical marijuana position.
Are you aware of this?

Oh….well this is embarrassing.
The Politics/Social/Society forums all went that-a-way

California will be voting on Tuesday, Nov 2 on whether to legalize the use of marijuana by all people over the age of 21. If it passes, it will be a stunning achievement for individual liberties and states rights in defiance of overbearing and ineffective Federal drug laws.
But beyond the ideological and political reasons, here are some more practical reasons to vote for the proposition-
-The Federal “war on drugs” has already failed, especially in regards to marijuana. People are going to get weed anyway, so why not let them get it from legitimate growers and sellers rather than from shady drug dealers? This also has the added benefit of taking marijuana profits away from dangerous gangs and Mexican drug cartels that control the market today, much in the way that 1920’s era gangsters were put out of business when alcohol was re-legalized.
-Legalization means new legitimate jobs for the California economy. It also means profits will be taxed resulting in increased revenue for the state. Taxation from marijuana sales is predicted to be in the hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars.
– Marijuana users, growers, and sellers will no longer be arrested or jailed, which will reduce police , court, and prison operations costs.
-Marijuana is scientifically deemed to be safer than alcohol and tobacco.[1] Unlike other drugs ,it’s virtually impossible to overdose on pot, and it’s not physically addictive.
-There are industrial benefits to cannabis production as well. Hemp (marijuana fiber) can be used to produce textiles, plastics, and other products. Some products are of superior quality when produced with hemp than with the standard materials used today.
Whether you’re a marijuana user or not, it’s clear that in these harsh economic times legalization can only be good for the state of California, and for the country as a whole.
And another pothead posts a pot related question in the forum for the segment of our society with the least tolerance for dope smoking losers.
Maybe if you laid off the stuff you would be making this type of stupid mistake.
