After they legalize their “medicinal” pot, I wonder which drug they’ll be legalizing next. “Medicinal opium”? “Medicinal” Meth? “Medicinal Heroin”? Cocaine?

I am against legalizing pot. I maintain it will create far more problems than it will solve.

But. Having said that. I do hope the land of fruits and nuts passes this law. To serve as an example to normal America that legalizing marijuana is foolish.

Then I will say; “I told you so!” as California slides into a complete and total pit of moral and fiscal destruction.

Wait, I thought they already did. Is this a new proposition to challenge that?

If this passes, dope dealers across the country are going to have to get used to a lot lower prices.

It'll also be interesting to see how the feds react.

As a Californian, I have this to say. While many can disagree about Prop 19, Does an individual state have the right to decide what it thinks is right for its citizens. Do the voters of a state get to decide their destiny?

Actually I think this Prop. should have a sunset clause so that voters would have to re-visit the issue again in say five or ten years. That way, the citizens can see if the experiment worked, or was a failure.

This is an interesting Tenth Amendment issue. Will the Obama Administration go the the mat with California over the issue like he has with Arizona?

We have many different types of conservatives here on FR, some are social conservatives, others are fiscal and others are constitutional conservatives. Its a pretty big tent. I label myself as a constitutional conservative and see no federal role in making nationwide marijuana laws. If a state makes a law for a product for intra-state use, then there is no federal jurisdiction. Just like Montana and its gun manufacturing laws baring BAFE.

While I do not plan to start smoking pot if the prop is passed, it will be interesting to see how this plays out not only within the state, but nationally.
