For the NO on 19 crowd:

[eccentric]

I'm talking to you, medical growers, dispensaries, illegal growers and the rest who bought the bullshit and voted against your best interests!

You just f*cked yourselves. The failure of 19 just put a target on your backs. All of you.

Liberties, once taken, rarely return. The feds just got themselves a public mandate and complete legal license to go all "Untouchables" on your asses, and they are absolutely going to.

California just told them to. The media will cheer as all those "corrupt" dispensaries that sold weed to people who were willing to pay street prices, though we all know only 5% of them REALLY need it.

I feel sorry for the 5%, who will soon have to use pharmaceuticals, rather than the safer and more effective marijuana products.

I don't feel sorry for you. You're going to go to jail, and I just won't care. You had your chance. You blew it. You f*cked me, you f*cked your fellow citizens, and, not so ironically, you F*CKED YOURSELVES!

You also set the legalization movement back at least a decade, because all you cared about was your little money-making monopoly. Well, kiss it goodbye. The DEA just got a clear signal to f*ck you hard. They've been planning to for a long time.

You just gave them the green light. Mark my words.

Adios, you self-centered losers. Tell Bubba all about how unfair it all is while he anally rapes you.

FU!

Well said, but it's losing by 6%. That's a crushing defeat really; it doesn't sound like much, but propositions don't often do too much worse. I think the majority of the opposition really came from moralizers and ignorant parents overly concerned for their kids. I don't live in California though, so maybe I don't know what the atmosphere was like or how the propaganda from dispensaries affected things...

Since it's so close to being legal in California already, many people kept arguing that this was somehow a step backwards, or that it wasn't so important, or that it needed to be absolutely "perfect". Too many people underestimated how important this was to people in other states, like me. The passage of 19 would have triggered many other states (and then countries) to follow suite. I'm afraid this result has instead dealt a devastating blow to the cause. No doubt it will be legal someday, it's just unfortunate we have to wait a few more... decades...

The prohibitionists and greedy dispensaries make a good team, cough, cough.

Here come the feds.

This statement is simply not true. We had 9 propositions on the ballot this year, and of the 5 that failed, all of the others failed by at least twice the percentage points as did 19.

The irony is that the yes vote (46%) is exactly what the latest national polls show supporting cannabis legalization.

Card or no card, people will still grow and people will still smoke regardless if any law is passed.

Go ahead, let government dictate your life. Stay supressed. I personally don't give a shit one way or another about prop 19 or the government. I'll do what I want, so long as I'm not harming anyone else around me.

[helpinOG]

Whos down to party?!? I'm ready to celebrate yo! This is a big win for the people, we were about to get stuck with shit weed in marlboro packages, and with the super duper economy I just wonder how many new convictions they'd get with prop 19. Guess we'll never know. I can live with that. :jointsmile:

I suppose you have all the good weed, so you supply it. BTW, that Marlboro fantasy is just that. Even if it went that way, people could grow their own.

Now, the fed's gonna jack people hard.

You keep trying to scare people with Fed talk, Fed talk, Fed talk, blah blah. They aren't going to do anymore than what they have been doing. Go Get a medical card, don't grow insane amount of marijuana and you will be fine. The Feds want the illegal guys clearing out mountainsides for Marijuana growing 300+ plants. Not the guy who grows 20 plants in his garage. Stop being such an ignorant bastard my uncle works for guess who? THE FEDS they just did a huge bust in Cali did you hear about it? No that's because it doesn't matter. Grow within your means and you'll be fine. And not every Medical Marijuana service is about money. So you can keep trying to scare people here but for those of us who know the real and are doing this and Still going to be doing this to help people will still be here. You can grow for you, and I'll still be helping my patients and any who want good meds without paying a kidney.
Oh and you can tell Bubba I said hi tonight when you see him...
One love...

I guess we'll see, won't we? Get ready fo more federal interdiction.

[Nancy007]

As a life long resident of California...I probably know more about laws and regulations in California than most, and I also can distinquish the difference state and federal laws.

Oh...if it's NOT legal then I have a question for you;

3 months ago I was pulled over because I hadn't noticed by left turn signal had burned out. Maybe a coincidence, but I had just left a dispensary. I admitted I had an 1/8 in my trunk, I presented my recommendation, I showed the cop my weed and I was let go with just a fix-it ticket for my blinker, and was allowed to keep my 1/8 of weed, AND I was thanked for being honest.

SO, if it's illegal then why was I able to admit to my possession, show the cop my impressive strain, and then let go with no mention of it?
