Yup
Apparently, Californian's every where decided the answer to that question was no. However, I believe this is because the potheads all got high the night before, passed out and forgot to go to the polls.
The purpose of legalizing marajuana was to create a new source of taxable income for the state. Which I believe to mean is that the guy on the street would still be selling his "illegal" pot, but now he will be charged with tax evasion instead of possession to sell. :p
If you're a heterosexual cannabis consumer I don't see why it couldn't be more important.Quote:

It should be an unalienable right to be able to put something you grew in your mouth, especially when no one has ever died from doing so.Quote:

Everyone has a medical card in California. Reason people were iffy on Prop 19 was because it wasn't clear on many points such as what would happen to medical patients.
And with a medical card it IS legal...and going to the marijuana store is always wonderful! Always free stuff! :jess:
meth is better
I assure you that the number of people who don't smoke because their employers test is significant. The number of people who simply don't break the law, admittedly, is probably pretty small, but they exist.Quote:

Admittedly, I only know one person who has been arrested for possession. He was searched because campus police asked him for ID, and he didn't have any 'cause he's a Mexican illegal. Now he's been deported and took one of my best friends with him. Boo.
Still, it's something that shouldn't happen. "Not many people get caught" isn't much of an argument against legalizing marijuana.
I wasn't arguing against legalization, just that getting caught for it is ridiculous.
Are there actually employers that do regular drug screenings? o_O
My point is that the people who really want to don't care that it isn't legalized. I understand that there are people who have thought about it but haven't done it because it's illegal, but I have a hard time believing that they lay awake at night praying that the next day holds good news for their marijuana desires.Quote:
