It doesn't look like it will, especially with the majority growers and medical dispensaries against it.  Personally, I'm on the fence as the main rally cry of that it will lead to a landfall of money from taxing pot isn't true nor will it make pot legal throughout the state of California.  If Prop 19 passes, it will be up to individual communities to decide whether or not to legalize and tax pot within their community.  For example, El Segundo could legalize it while the city next door, Manhatten Beach can keep it illegal. 

The main revenue from Prop 19 won't be taxes because in reality, the $ amount is not all that much in state taxes and I think is forecasted to be less than $500 million, far lower than the billions often thrown around by those in favor of Prop 19.  The main revenue will be from the money saved from law enforcement since a lot of police won't be needed anymore if communities decide to legalize it.  The money saved is forecasted to be more than the tax revenue.

I put a yes for 19. Mostly because I see it as a joke how people are being taken to jail for 3 hots and a cot over a plant. That money could be spent elsewhere, such as education. I myself am ashamed to admit I'm a product of the California Public Educational System.

on this assumption i believe you are partially inncorrect. the idea that there will be need of fewer police of any type because they legalize marj is inncorrect. marj is never the sought after drug hunted by the police DEA FBI etc etc. they only bother with weed when they find it by mistake or when they believe that the person they intend to arrest for it can provide information on much bigger crime/drugs i.e. coke heroin guns murder etc. if they legalize marj then they will still need the personal they currently have to continue looking for the issues that are considered truly severe.

oh and before you mention "well what about the growers"? they only seek growers because growers have connections, it is those connections that they are truly after not the grower him/herself. bulk growers need shippers, those shippers tend to work for more people than just the growers. they work for people who need to move hard core drugs guns and any other illegal substance. oh and even weed dealers need accountants to wash their money, a good money launderer is worth his entire families weight in gold to both cops and crooks.

so my point being that the legalization of marj will not put the slightest dent in the amount of law enforcement officers required. it may cut down on some tiny percentage of court cases, so there will be some savings there, but not much.

oh, and one more thing that people tend to forget/intentionally ignore.

just because something is state legal DOES NOT MEAN IT IS LEGAL!!!!!!!!

the federal government supersedes all state and local laws. the feds are entitled to enforce their own laws even if those laws are in direct contradiction of any local or state regulation. if the feds don't legalize it then you are still at risk possessing and /or using it. granted it wont be much of a risk, but it is a risk that a person should make them selves aware of.

This year sets new records when it comes to mid-term spending.

This mid term also showed us you can't buy your way in the governor's seat for $160 million and win.

I convinced my parents to vote no on prop 19. The last thing Mexico needs is for us to legalize the funding of the cartels that terrorize their country.

I think we allready fund all the cartels in latin america.  and most of the plants produced in this country are locally grown.  and If i remember correctly from when i was younger, ca produces one of the best products around.

By when you were younger, do you mean when you were around nine?  Because I honestly think your around thirteen years this year.

Either way, nine is QUITE a young age to start smoking pot. Gotta get em while they're young, I suppose the motto is?
