If you don’t know, it’s the initiative to legalize the sale and consumption of marijuana for persons over the age of 21.
Just so you know, I’m not just some pot head. I’ve never smoked marijuana, and I also don’t live in California. Although I do believe it should be legalized.

50-50. I’d like to see it legalized, but no one can really predict how the vote will go. California is always a surprise. There’s a discussion here that says basically the same thing. http://www.marijuana.com/legalization-decriminalization/150019-prop-19-bitches-3.html
I think the chances of it passing are excellent. There probably isn’t even one person in the entire country that hasn’t either been personally damaged or had someone close to them damaged by the anti-marijuana persecutions.
The “war on drugs” is, at its most basic essence, a war on American citizens. It singles out and persecutes scape-goat individuals, but it harms us all – much more harm and in many more ways than the harm occasional drug usage causes. We, the people, are gradually gaining the awareness that we don’t have to suffer such abuse in silence. That’s why I think California Prop. 19 has an excellent chance of passing, and will be followed soon after by a landslide of similar proposals in other states.
I think good and improving day by day, but there are some skeptics, ignorants, fence riders or professionals who don’t want people knowing for fear of their reputation, and it’s hard to put a “Yes on 19” sign on your lawn and not piss off your neighbors and police.
But yes, I think thus far it’s going to pass but by a slim majority, like 49/51 or better… I think it will be pretty close.
