Prop 203 - Arizona Medical Marijuana Act
"NO" Votes-662,371 (50.26%)
"YES" Votes- 655,502 (49.74%)
Margin of defeat-6,869 (which is coincidentally the average attendance for the Arizona Cardinals since relocating to the state).
We were so close.
We were almost living the dream. Music would have sounded better. Food would have tasted better.
Maybe next time.
Sadly, alcohol causes far more social problems than marijuana.
Ever see two stoners get in a fight? yet how many bar fights are there every HOUR? Do you really think a stoned driver could be going fast enough to hurt anyone or anything?
Consider the financial windfall for a state when you go from paying to keep it criminalized (cost of arrests, trials, incarcerations) to a revenue stream from taxing it.
I am amazed that every state has not legalized marijuana.
Keep trying, seventies children!
Post-mortem. The decriminalization on marijuana lost in California by a landslide!
This was a shock to me.
So you can have a California marriage that isn't straight, but you better be straight while you're doing it!
Such a shame that this proposition didn't pass. I was all ready to head for the McVerde Arches and order:

Proposition 19 was the only thing that actually made me go to the poll. I was really hoping to see it go through. One small disoriented step for man, one giant leap for stoners all over the U.S. of A.
ReplyDeleteAt least we still have medical marijuana in California. Now excuse me, I think I'm feeling a backache coming on.

Yeah, Lee, California really surprised me. For such a harmless drug that could be such a tax windfall!

ReplyDeleteDarn it, now I need to remember TWO sites that don't issue spew warnings when they make me spit out my drink. You and IMAO.
By the way, I don't smoke weed but am definitely against prohibition. I *might* be tempted to eat myself a few brownies if people get over the pot hysteria and just legalized it mon.
That CA elected JERRY Moonbeam Brown and defeated the pot initiative? What in the hell?
By the by, my state just legalized "medical" pot too; I think I feel a new doctor coming on...
