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.





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

-NAS

I think NAS would also move to California .

YES ON PROP 19!!! You must login or register to view this content.

There really isn't major negative outcomes to the state it self, it's actually a huge help to overcome the budget crisis and raise the economy, the pros in this situation outweigh the cons if there are any.

If this passes... I'm transferring to UCLA. And get my high on, LEGALLY!

I'm going to vote yes.

Good for you :y: My home is already Cali. =D

Yea man, we need all the voters we can get :y: :y: If passed, Cali is gonna be like Amsterdam!!!!

OMFG OMFG OMFG WEED!?
LEGALIZED?!
OMFG OMFG IMA GUNNA CUM!

yeah.

whatever

Weed = :y:

but

Car Crashes = :n:

Weed is much like Alcohol.
it causes us to go "loop" to put it stupidly.

People will get high and drive, and what happens?

More than likely a car crash, So while yes, the legalization of marijuana would be "cool" but also, deadly.


Therefore, vote no.

go ahead

flame, but if it passes, and your the one in the car crash, how would you feel?

better yet, what about your mom, dad or uncle, driving the car, high, and your baby cousin, or your little baby brother dies.


think about that, before you vote yes on Prop 19.





As for Amsterdam, weed is not legal there, it is illegal, its just not as heavily enforced there, and it is not as frowned upon, but Weed is illegal there, just like Working-Under-The-Counter without a permit, its illegal, but no really frowned upon.
