Empty Boxes Needed.........

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.

Pot tourism Would also be a huge source of revenue for California. I for one would be up there every weekend.

Unfortunately, it would still be illegal for anyone that has a job where your going to be tested no matter what California may do at a state level.  

If the Federal government wanted to play hard ball, and I am surprised that they have not yet, any and all federal funding could be at risk that goes to CA.  
Its what happened to LA years ago when the state was reluctant in changing the minimum drinking age to 21 for so many years and nearly lost federal funding for roads etc. etc.

Well ya don't smoke if your being drug tested, that's a no-brainer.

I doubt any funding would be cut off with the current administration. The justice department doesn't go after compassion clubs anymore, but under bush they did. It all depends on who's in charge at the moment.

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?

thats for addictive things, which pot isnt.

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.

But if it would be legalized, it then could be grown by people in the United States.  Hence it could be regulated, controlled, and taxed.

[sunfan1121]

Right now the only option is to buy from the cartels. ( if you cant find the homegrown)

Just like during Prohibition the only option was to buy from the mob.

Legalization would put the money into hard working, green thumb'd Americans pockets.

Lol, what amazes me is how many dope experts we have here...

Kalifornia is already pushing tourist away since they only allow thieves and illegals to carry guns.

You don't need to be an expert to figure out that the current tactics used in the war on drugs don't work.  What different course should be adopted (either harsher or more lenient) is up for debate, but is there really anyone out there that honestly believes we should keep doing the exact same thing we've been doing?
