bird mcbride, 12% in politics is a gigantic loss.
unfortunately thats how our democratic republic works, the majority gets the final say.Almost half the population voted in favour of prop 19 and other related proposals. This factor alone means that these governments have to make concessions, unless they are prepared to condemn almost half of the citizens that reside in these regions.
Just because something failed its first time around doesn't mean it's never going to pass. The fact of the matter is most states want to be able to smoke marijuana and not be a criminal. It is becoming known nationwide, if not worldwide. Just getting an initiative on the ballot is a HUGE first step. Keep on making those steps and you'll get to the top of the staircase. I foresee weed being legal in Cali in 2012, Colorado and Oregon will probably have it sometime around then too. Don't give up and don't get discouraged, weed will be legal.
