Prop 19 loses but we aren't giving up

For those of you who, like me, were hoping prop 19 would pass - don't give up. We'll get marijuana legalized soon enough. Right now polls show that almost 50% of the USA supports legalizing Marijuana, and that support has steadily grown over the last 40 years when it was only 12% who supported legalization. Times are changing, stoners of the 70's are now the 50 and 60 year olds, and thanks to the internet the facts about marijuana are finally able to spread and the information bout weed is no longer dominated by government propaganda. This wasn't the year it happened but it will be soon and you will all be around to see it.

I do but it's much more than that. As a plant family, cannabis is the most useful plant on the planet. From the way hemp could replace everything we currently use trees for, to treating cancerous tumors, Marijuana has innumerable uses outside of the social scene. But it is this long list of uses which made it illegal in the first place and keeps it so today. Too many corporations and business assholes will lose profit if marijuana prohibition ends, so they keep feeding us lies to scare us into maintaining this injustice.

this is so fucking disheartening, earlier polls showed that legalization was ahead, but then some fucking anti-weed propaganda paid by the mother fucking alcohol industry managed to invert it... how is this possible for fucks sake, how can people be this easily manipulable through fear.... one day im going to fucking snap and go on a random killing spree... this world is fucking pathetic, everybody is a spineless retard.

There are still some generations that watched Reefer Madness like it was a documentary. Wait for them to die and weed is legal. GG old people

prop 19 didn't fail due to a last minute campaign against it. It failed due to voter turnout being heavily slanted towards older generations who are against legalization. Polls didn't account for this since the polls assumed (wrong as always) that all age groups would have the same percent turnout.

being a californian i am sad prop 19 didnt pass. was looking forward walking into my local hooka bar styled weed shop and posting on a couch and hitting on bro hoes T.T. i did vote yes for teh record.

wasnt surprised it didnt pass. id say a very good percentage of the weed smoking population between 18-24 didnt go vote.

my head exploded when i found out my parents were voting yes on 19. they are very old school and very against drugs including alcohol. shit my dads even a ultra republican old man style. when he told me he was voting yes on 19 i damn near had a heart attack.

the outcome of this actually scares me. how could some people be so ignorant to the consequences. voting no will result in the people who smoke weed to continue smoking weed, and providing no tax revenue. voting yes will generate tax revenue. a lot of fucken tax revenue. id really like to hear why someone would vote no. unfortunately im from ct and couldnt vote, but both my parents, who cringe when you even mention weed would vote yes because of the obvious circumstances.

id really like to see how these people feel about cigarettes and alcohol

just wait till the older generation dies off, and the next, more liberal generation takes over. It'll eventually pass with time. Just like alcohol prohibition did.

many people who voted no probably walked out of the polling booth and lit up a cigarette to congratulate themselves on being a fine upstanding christian

Not surprised. When in doubt, never underestimate the stupidity of the american voter.
