10 reasons to vote NO on prop #19

[VapedG13]

vote yes and move forward and stop beeing greedy,once its in theres always time to make changes,just like everything else out there it takes time....and the part about passing a joint to a 17 yr old i thought we use this stuff for medical reasons not social gatherings??????

Good point...ok rephraze it.....

your over 21.... you pass the joint to anther ADULT 18-20 (your old enough to die for your country at 18) if caught thats punishable 6 months & $1000

Myth #2: The initiative will keep young adults out of jail for using marijuana.
Fact: This initiative would put more young people in jail for pot. If it becomes law, any adult 21 or over who passes a joint to another adult aged 18-20 would face six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. [8] (NORML's Web site reports that the current penalty for a gift of marijuana of 1 oz. or less is a $100 fine.[9])

Myth #3: You'll be able to light up freely in the privacy of your home.
Fact: That depends. Under the initiative, even adults consuming marijuana in the privacy of their homes could face arrest if there are minors present (not something one would expect from an initiative that claims to treat marijuana like alcohol and tobacco)[10]. Current marijuana law contains no such restrictions. Thanks to Prop. 215, which legalized marijuana for medicinal use, cannabis consumers have been legally free to smoke in the privacy of their homes since 1997. This initiative seeks to undermine that freedom, making it absolutely illegal to smoke marijuana if there are minors present. (The initiative is ambiguous with regard to whether â??presentâ?� means being in the same room as the consumer, the same house, the same apartment building, or within wafting distanceâ??apparently leaving this up to the interpretation of judges.) There is no exception for medical marijuana patients or for parents consuming in the presence of their own children

It only allows possession of up to one ounce of cannabis. Under current California law, an ounce or less of pot isnâ??t an arrestable offense. And soon this amount will be a simple civil infraction. Prop 19 doesnâ??t make any improvements to decriminalization or prop 215. 2. Prop 19 creates several new cannabis related crimes with extremely severe penalties. Donâ??t pass a joint to a 17 year old, you will be looking at a Rating: 5
