They must be smoking pot to come up with those approaches.

Even if the referendum fails, they can just shop around for a judge wholl declare recreational pot use to be a Constitutional right. The precedent is already tried and tested.
The Left has used that route to pursue some disgusting things, like forcing gay marriage on everyone, but, ironically, in this instance, finding a Constitutional right to support state legalization of marijuana would be a just and original interpretation of the US Constitution.
What power does the US Constitution grant the federal government to regulate people's individual behavior? I'll answer that for you - none. The idea that fedgov can tell individual citizens that they can't grow a plant or smoke it is incredibly repugnant to the original intent and to the concept of freedom in general. The fallacious, left-wing interpretation of the commerce clause by the USSC is the only reason fedgov can tell people what plants they can grow for their own use, and there is NOTHING, not even that diabolical court case, that gives them the power to restrict individual drug use of ANY kind.
The state of California, like the others, can make pot legal or illegal if it wants. If the citizens of the state of California want it legal, the fedgov should have nothing to say. So, if there is found some "right" by the USSC of the states to legalize marijuana, I would welcome the decision, and then gleefully apply the logic to EVERYTHING.

LOL! This is a done deal, maaaaan.
Nope, not necessarily. It's been on the ballot a couple of times before and was rejected. The last time I would have voted for legalization, but the law was written in a way that it provided protection against "discrimination" of pot smokers in employment and other ways, so that it could have been and most likely would have been used to keep employers from firing workers who were stoned, so I voted against it. If the referendum simply said "Henceforth, possession and use of marijuana shall be legal on private property in the State of California" I would vote for it in a heartbeat.

The predictably screwed up voters of CA will pass this easily, probably 60%. They will also pass every anti gun law on the ballot in November, and there are some VERY bad ones.

That is how it starts..... medical use for people with horrible sob stories. Then it is anyone with a horrible slob story. Then it is full on legalization.

Theyll just go to the medical dispensary and pick up their joints there, paying up to $300 per quarter ounce.
Last time I was privy to such information, which was about two years ago, an ounce ran about $125- $200/oz depending on the strain.

every state should allow people to grow their own, plain and simple.

Oh, there’s a whole lot of specialized strains for sale at dispensaries, each with loads of promised applications and benefits. As none of them are subject to FDA regulation as to claims, being that they’re selling an illegal schedule one drug in the first place, they have rolled out the blarney in such a way to make an Irishman blush.

I’m hoping they do. In Colorado, there are flocks of 20 some year old partakers on every corner begging for money. Maybe they’ll move to somewhere else with legal weed and better weather.

So if you burn a tobacco leaf it creates tar but if you burn a hemp leaf, there is no tar?

Over the years, CA has already decriminalized MJ. You can be found with less than an ounce now and not even get cited. This is all about the taxes.

A drunk driver will blow right past a stop sign while a stoned driver will sit there & wait for it to turn green.
More whacked out dopers means less job competish for me, so flood the market with cheap weed! Besides, they’re fun to watch! Like wow, man!

Why? Because pot is a gateway drug to socialism?
