That is actually my only problem with my no vote, it will be misinterpreted that we are against marijuana-when we were against a bad prop. the media potrayed prop 19 as marijuana legalization- now people think we have voted against legalization. now people think marijuana is illegal because 19 lost the guy who saw you smoke a joint last week figured it was medical and allowed but tomorrow might think it is illegal because 19 lost. the D.A.s and city councils could also view this as a sign the public is anti marijuana and lead to further prosocution of marijuana users

It actually does matter. And while vote fixing does happen, no, not all votes are fixed. A "why bother voting" attitude is quite harmful. It does matter.

Shasta was a heavy No, I think it was kind of close I knew it would be, I think without some outspoken marijuana advocates against it it probably would have passed, when I started explaining to people I know that I was against 19 they thought I was crazy by the time we were done talking about it they were votin NO also-they tried to sell it as legalization, I actually think we might be able to get a simple bill that actually legalizes marijuana passes, you would lose the conservitive buisness vote but gain many votes that were against 19 because of its flaws.

A good reason to get it right (this was NOT legalization!). No fees were mandated to schools, public services or the general fund. The fees would fund the few "regulatory" jobs that would be created...the bureaucracy is self fulfilling.

Exactly.... that is what you and I have been saying for months now... now we can get down to brass tacks and get a REAL bill going...

Cooley being elected to office has nothing to do with Prop. 19. He is a disaster regardless of whether Prop. 19 had passed or not.

This disaster might become a reality. Still too close to call but it looks bad. He's going to misinterpret the no on prop 19 vote to mean he has a mandate to go after all cannabis related activities.

If we will elect 'moonbeam' twice we can get 51% to vote for weed. I would like to see prop 420 'no plant species to be regulated by law' then maybe something about no chemical processing. and were good. keep it simple.

If you can get a legalization initiative on the 2012 ballot I will vote for it. I don't see that happening, though. An initiative to end medical marijuana is more likely. We have missed any chance of ending the drug war for at least a generation.

Yeah right DD... you just dont get it... if this bill was written for the PEOPLE it would have passed, it was NOT... colorado already has a legalize it 2012 campaign started bro.... its not DOOMSDAy...

I fully support the 2012 ballot measure and I think it's better written than prop 19. But I think we may have just blown our one shot at this....

The last legalization initiative was in 1972, so maybe my grand kids will get the next shot at it.
I don't understand why people who support the thought of legal MJ vote against Prop 19 -- its shitty, but its a start. If this would have passed you could have made amendments to it (to make it more 'for the people'), but now the quest for MJ legality is all but done -- maybe somewhere else will make a run at it in a few years and fail -- if the feds even allow it.

well at least here soon there wont be much if any "what do you think about prop 19" threads, those were getting on my nerves..

Yeah it is. No chance in hell an even more liberal legalization bill with less economic incentives passes. The humboldt vote isn't worth what you think it is. That's a very small portion of voters.
If I had to guess, I'd say we are waiting another 20 years....
