Here is an interesting trivia question, what was the number of California's first Prop in the early seventies that would have legalized herb? Prop 19. :S5:

it went down in flames, of course, but it was different, it would have legalized herb for 18 and over at a time when they were starting to crack down on all the States with under 21 alcohol laws and plus it didn't have the county level authority mechanism that this new one does.
It was about 40K signatures short and was all volunteer. No one was paid for signatures, and its coming up again. And again volunteer signature gathers with more time to gather. Next times a charm. :thumbsup:
