When will we know the fate of Prop. 19?

A YES vote on this measure means: Individuals age 21 or older could, under state law, possess and cultivate limited amounts of marijuana for personal use. In addition, the state and local governments could authorize, regulate, and tax commercial marijuana-related activitites under certain conditions. These activities would remain illegal under federal law.

NO A NO vote on this measure means: The possession and cultivation of marijuana for personal use and commercial marijuana-related activities would remain illegal under state law, unless allowed under the state's existing medical marijuana law.


Can someone please explain to me why they voted no?
Sorry, but isn't cannabis decriminalized in CA now? Up to an oz is treated like a civil parking ticket?
So technically a no vote means your cool to carry an oz.. and cultivate legally under current medical law, yes?

and a big middle finger to you and your lies sir-nowhere in prop 19 does it call for marijuana legalization- it calls for a lot of rules and restrictions but not once does it say legalize it does explain many things that would have become illegal were it to have passed
Isn't that mainly things that are already illegal? I agree the prop isn't perfect but we have to start somewhere and politics is all about compromise. We have to share the world with religious and conservative folks who don't like cannabis. No amount of education will change most of these folks' minds. This prop passing would be a move in the right direction. They are never gonna just lift prohibition without any kind of regulation or compromise. It will never happen, not in a million years!:sad:

it is not currently a crime under california law for me to smoke a joint outside a bar on a public sidewalk and if 19 passed it would be-theirs one.

How is it not a crime if weed isn't legal????????:? That doesn't even make any sense. And so what? Should people be standing outside bars smoking doobies? I for one have no issue not shoving my use of this plant down other people's throats. Remember, we have to share the planet with a lot of people who don't want to be around it. I can respect that.:weed:

It would still be illegal if 19 passed- If you reread the post you will see I said under california law-and I said for ME. I am 215 and now under C.A. law-not fed It is legal for me to smoke a joint outside the bar just as it is legal for you to smoke your cigarette outside the bar. If 19 were to pass it would be illegal in that I would be smoking in public, and if a minor happened to be walking by then not only would I be commiting a crime I would become a felon. Their are many other problems that is only one. what if you wanted to grow a plant in your yard? check out the prop 19 rules on that.

As pro MJ as I am I still don't think it is one of those things that should be flaunted for all to see in public. Most places you can't just drink a beer in public (with the exception of bars and a few designated areas) and I agree with that. There are kids to think about, not to mention people who just don't agree with it or like the smell or whatever. We need to be respectful of others in these types of matters. I hate the smell of pipe tobacco so I can't stand it when someone smokes one in public. I don't think it should necessarily be illegal but that's a big problem in this country these days. People think they should just have the right to do whatever they want to and screw anybody else if they don't like it. And I agree with that to a point but my rights end when they begin to infringe on the rights of another. It should be that way for everything. If people would just be discrete, and respectful of others there would probably be little need for prohibition in the first place.:weed:

I'm not medical so no it's not legal
:lol: you missed the point in the beginning of the statement, I made my comment about being legal to grow/smoke if your medical because there is ALWAYS that option in CA. If your in cali, and you smoke or grow and your not medical then somethin is wrong with ya! I'd be ON that shit!

However: You DON'T HAVE TO BE MEDICAL to be AFFECTED by DECRIMINALIZATION. Right now I'm pretty sure if you get caught with an OZ or less, its a CIVIL fine, for EVERYBODY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Arnold S. just wrote that into law a few weeks ago.

So, again, if you vote NO, and the law doesnt pass, you are still not considered a criminal to carry up to an OZ, and you are legal (state wise) to cultivate and use cannabis for medical purposes WITH a medical license.

That right there kicks ass!


See, I remember when it was being said, "Decriminalization, not legalization!"

Are you on board with that statement beardo? The things I hear about NOT voting for prop 19 are because they create MORE bad laws that don't affect the people right now.

Sorry I don't quite know where you stand beardo, I often try to stay away from these political debates. However as we get close I am intrigued!

But it still carries a fine of $100.
I've never been caught with bud... If I did though, I would be looking at jail time in my state probably.

So count yourself lucky! I'd rather loose a quarter oz than spend EVEN a day in jail!

Yes, that was my point. If you are not exempted through med rec, a joint = $100 to the state if you get caught. Still illegal, but nothing gets reported on your record. Decriminalization is not the free ride some have made it out to be.
