no

no to marijauna anywhere… personally just not a fan of it or people that smoke it.

I AM VOTING YES!!! It costs American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars each year to “fight” a personal vice also known as Marijuana. Yet for all the investment of money and energy by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, drug use in America over the last few decades remains on the rise. As well as people being put in jail,
800,000+ Americans are arrested on marijuana charges each year!
80,000 are incarcerated each year for Possession alone,
Costing 8,000-60,000 dollars PER person per year to incarcerate an care for them.
That’s $640,000,000 – $4,800,000,000 a year WE HAVE TO PAY!
There has been a few Very conservative guesstimates that 1.4 billion dollars would be generated in legalizing marijuana from sales.
Even if it’s a “guesstimate” Americans consume close to 24 million pounds of marijuana annually, that amounts to 384,000,000 ounces (That’s $153,600,000,000 worth) . If marijuana was taxed at a flat rate of $25 per ounce, that would generate close to $10 billion in tax revenue annually an considering that 40%-70% of Americans admitted to having smoked before an that is a conservative estimate being that the 25% of people lied about use, But that’s just for legalizing marijuana in addition, Prop. 19 would also legalize hemp production!
legalizing hemp could end our dependence on foreign oil, deal with global warming issues by supplying green bio fuels, and would generate tens of billions of dollars through the hemp industry Hemp production could be worth considerably more than $40 billion a year and yield 50,000 safe products. Tell me the farmers couldn’t use that! Have you ever worked on a ranch? You don’t do it to make money lol Did you know that 1st drafts of: The Declaration of indecencies, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights were written on paper made from hemp……
American history proves that prohibition doesn’t work. Alcohol prohibition in the 1920’s not only failed to stop people from drinking alcohol, but it can be directly blamed for the rise of Al Capone and the creation of the New York mob wars that continue to plague the Empire State to this day.

A year ago i would have said no…now I say YES. I hate Obama, but we are as a nation ready for some “change”…allow me to elaborate why…

I was assigned for a speech class to present an informative pro vs. con speech. I thought, “What better topic to cover than the issue of marijuana?” My professor is a stickler for using concrete evidence through legitimate sources and I quickly found out that showing an anti-marijuana side of an argument using scientific evidence is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I’ll try and explain this as simply as possible: “We the People..” have been tricked…for almost a century now. All of the arguments are based on personal morals that society(United States citizens) has grown to accept as truth and fact throughout the prohibition era. Trying to prevent the production and use of cannabis in any form (medicinal, recreational, or industrial) exploded in the late 1960’s when persuasive politicians started using “fear of drugs” because they could get voters with a “get tough of crime” image of themselves. Now that science has overthrown ignorance and the truth is out, we are presented with another problem: How can politicians, after all the years of saying marijuana is bad, reverse there stance, support it’s production, and still get votes? If you’re really into the marijuana issue and want to know the TRUTH, set aside 2 hours of your time and watch this documentary>>>THE UNION. It shows every angle of the issue and has FACTS to support TRUTH when making all arguments for and against the issue of marijuana.
