Basics:
This is a huge deal, on November 2nd, 2010, Voters will vote on the Legalization of Marijuana in California or Prop 19. If passed it will allow people 21 years old or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. There are a number of positive outcomes if passed, such as aiding the struggling economy.Such as permitting local governments to regulate and tax commercial production and sale of marijuana to people 21 years old or older. Savings of up to several tens of millions of dollars annually to state and local governments on the costs of incarcerating and supervising certain marijuana offenders.

On Nov. 2, Californians will vote on Proposition 19, deciding whether to legalize the production, sale and consumption of marijuana. If the initiative passes, it won't just be momentous for California; it may, at long last, offer Mexico the promise of an exit from our costly war on drugs.

Passage of Prop 19 would therefore flip the terms of the debate about drug policy: If California legalizes marijuana, will it be viable for our country to continue hunting down drug lords in Tijuana? Will Wild West-style shootouts to stop Mexican cannabis from crossing the border make any sense when, just over that border, the local 7-Eleven sells pot?
Benefits:
-Anybody over 21 could posses 1 ounce of marijuana for personal consumption.
-May grow marijuana at a private residence in a space of up to 25 square feet for personal use.
-Smoke without worrying about the boys in blue
Government Regulations:
- Local government may authorize the retail sale of up to 1 ounce of marijuana per transaction, and regulate the hours and location of the business.
-Local government may authorize larger amounts of marijuana for personal possession and cultivation, or for commercial cultivation, transportation, and sale.
-Allows for the transportation of marijuana from a licensed premises in one city or county to a licensed premises in another city or county, without regard to local laws of intermediate localities to the contrary.
Outcome:
-Create between 60,000 and 110,000 new jobs in California
-Generate between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion in new direct tax revenue annually.
-Expand California's economy by between $16 billion and $23 billion annually
-Reduce state expenditures by over $200 million in law enforcement costs for arrests, prosecutions and imprisonment of cannabis users.
If passed, i think California would prosper, tourism would increase, the economy would improve, and us stoners will finally be able to smoke without a hassle. So all you voters in California, YES ON PROP 19!!! =D

Your right, it can be atleast 30 days, way to copy another person's post, still doesnt mean that marijuana didnt cause the accident, it could have, so yes, argument valid.
Side note: I like how all the people "groaned" at my post, and yet, it never affect my rep :3

Mann this would be a giant step forward if passed maybe if this does pass a year from now when the numbers are in, as far as how much money it brought in other states may follow. I am in MIAMI Dade county we are $110 million dollars in debt not even LEBRON could dig us out of that hole so if they would implement that here it can only be good for the economy. Also a big point of passing this would be PUTTING THE DRUG CARTELS out of business in a sense, since your able to grow your own or get it from a reputable source. I guess the only downside to this would be, EVERYONE WILL BE HIGH!.....LOL how high...so high that I can kiss the sky!
