Marijuana Legalization On California Ballot

The question of marijuana legalization will be on the California ballot this November and voters seem poised to pass it.

The story:

56% of Californians support legalization (April 2009 poll).

Supporters are calling it a "watershed moment" in the fight for drug reform.

We agree with the reformers that banning marijuana outright has been a disaster, fueling a massive, increasingly brutal underground economy, wasting billions in scarce law enforcement resources and making criminals out of countless law-abiding citizens.

I don't know about you guys, but I would MUCH rather have a high dude driving beside me than a drunk! Your typical high dude is driving 30 MPH in a 60 MPH zone not swerving at all and enjoying the cool colors and the high. Your typical drunk is driving 80 MPH in the same 60 MPH zone trying to get home cause he has to piss, all while swerving into other lanes. Legalize it for all, then maybe we'll have high drivers INSTEAD of drunks.

Legalize everything while ur at it. Free Columbia from its Cocaine stranglehold.

FAIL. All the stoners forgot to vote again.

I want to render marijuana worthless, sprinkle seed everywhere, on every patch of land so that whoever wants it can just pick what they want from the side of the road for free, or grow it themselves as they please. Who would buy it then?

Damn you Cali for not passing prop 19!!! DAMN YOU!!!

@xNeo2Rememberx because your 15 lol

[xNeo2Rememberx]

So in my opinion it should be for 15 and up.

Age of 21 is bullshit. yes I am a teen but I am a practical genius. Alchohol WILL cause profound liver problems and brain development issues as well as in some cases kindey failure if used under the age of 21 or whenever your body stops growing. I see why alchohol is not good for the developing body at young ages but why must marijuana be illegal for people under 21? ALOT of teens have very harsh issues in their life and they need a release. Mary is not bad in any way for teen consumption.
