It is disappointing, but just having a prop on the ballet is historical and the nay vote was not overwhelming. In the end, I think the issue wasn't whether to legalize cannabis, but rather how to legalize it. I wanted to see this pass, however, I acknowledge that the prop was poorly written and slanted towards big growers. I'm not surprised that mom and pop operations voted against it to protect their own interests.

This whole vote has created a nation-wide debate that carries much more legitimacy than ever before. The stage is set for a new prop on the 2012 ballot . . . maybe next time by more states that just California.

In the meantime, I'm moving to Holland. (I wish)
