lived in cali all my life. never seen or been effected by any "cartel". sounds like 1973 to me.
Lets just go back to this for a second. Are you trying to deny the impact of drug cartels? Are you implying they are some sort of illusion?

you also are not messing with their stream of income currently (as far as they know). stop antagonizing.

That's right! This is not about Meth/coke/heroin...this thinking is as ridiculous as the stereotypical news header for a drug story that includes needles, lines and pot leaves or joints (like they are even close!) Mj is just a side thing...mexican pot is near worthless in California.

inaccurate and misleading. though the percentage may be much smaller in CA due to better strains propagated and distributed legally, MJ sold in the USA makes up for up to or more than 60% of cartel business. the other substances mentioned are not from Mexico, but muled through it on its way here.

when i lived in az, $60 ounces of schwag were the best for those of us on a budget.

if you were really stingy, you could sell3 dubs for $20 a piece and smoke the fourth dub for free. common practice in az last time i lived there.

edit - chronic costs $60-$65 per eighth in az. schwag is what most stoners smoke, sadly

hopefully as legislation shifts we can get some of that sweet sweet top quality Cali green. i feel your plight all too well. i haven't even SEEN any sensimilla since moving out east.

the poll is pretty swayed when people from other states are voting yes in hopes of it helping their own state. most of which hang you for pot.

i need to start a "califonia only" voters thread so we can get an idea where we're really at as far as "true" votes go.

might as well kill the poll. don't know what i was thinking.

it's been a while since az. luckily i'm in wa now, and astounded by the laid back attitude.

visited family on the east coast a while back, got some great weed but it was also $65 an eighth.

the east coast sucks:evil:

there's already a few being done you can find with a quick google search. anyhow this has been a fascinating debate and i encourage everyone to discuss their fears, hopes, and concerns. keeping this kind of open dialogue is fantastic for educating. unfortunately its time for me to pass out for a few hours. will check back tonight to see how this is going.

p.s. if it didn't effect us we probably wouldn't care.

none of you even live in cali?

it's a california election thread.

:roll:

chances are i'll be living in cali in a year or two, so it does effect me.

plus, i am speaking for the multitude of friends and family i have there, all of whom will be voting yes (if they get their asses to the polls).

if you want a poll of what californians think, here ya go....

consistently ahead....

Quite a lot of it it is grown and sold in California. It's not a side thing. It's a large portion of their income.

lol sorry 1 last thing. from that link posted by UncleBuck...

In the 1972 California November elections, a similar initiative to legalize cannabis was on the ballot, and coincidentally it was also named Proposition 19

kinda gives you an idea of what holding out for better can net you no? a 40 year wait to get to that same first step.

You claimed to never see a drug cartel member and put "" around the word cartel. If that wasn't meant to imply that cartels are all bs, then what was the purpose of that?

i was looking for an idea about how the vote was here. i'm well aware of google. if you aren't voting in the california election in 2 months and you voted in this poll, then this poll is meaningless. to me anyways, and i'm the one who started it. i should have been more clear.
