SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Billionaire financier George Soros has contributed $1 million to Proposition 19, a ballot measure that would legalize marijuana in California, according to papers filed by the secretary of state's office Tuesday.

More stoners = more Dim voters
Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and they usually stink.
Get the people stoned, then try and take it away from them. They’ll do anything you want to keep it. Total control is what he’s after.
Dumbing down the masses...
Want soma?
I will ask again, why is this man not in jail? Is he an American citizen?
He’s stealing the issue for the Left. If he really wanted this to pass, he would have donated the money secretly.
Here I agree with Soros.
Never in the course of human history has prohibition been effective. Never. It makes the scum rich (the Kennedy family made their wealth bootlegging), it promotes crime and it drives up demand. Finally it makes more concentrated forms of the contraband more profitable.
Legalize it, tax it and make it pure. The degenerates will over-dose, the allure will go away and we clean up the gene pool.
More stoners = more Dim voters
Maybe so, but they will have to be carried to the voting place. Insentive goes out the window smoking pot - or so I’ve been told;)
It sounds like a lot of money but buying the souls of morons is pretty cheap and he can buy a lot of souls with that million.
On weed?
I saw the article in WSJ, and the first thing that crossed my mind was a story (can’t find it now) that Soros apparently owns a lot of land in Bolivia. It already produces coke, could produce pot...don’t know.
What I do know is Soros does not give a da*n about people...he’s in it for the money.
....and more people who are essentially unemployable.
Issues of primary concern in many states, other than the candidates feed the voter turnout. In my state, it is a casino (with location kept guarded) in just a designated rural county.
Pot (even though not approved by the FDA for medical use) buys votes. So far the Dems have used Starbucks cards like in Nevada to vote one D. Used to be "a smoke" to some vagrant on the street. Look how far they have come.
Actually, I’d like to see EVERYTHING on the table. Opium, heroin, LSD, everything.
I’m a bad person, I don’t care if some degenerate wants to poison himself. If he wants to kill himself .... I do not care.
What I do care about is that a majority of crime committed is drug related. Some scumbag wants money to buy the poison of his choice, and he is willing to hurt, kill or maim innocents to get it. I’d rather sell it to him the best, purest and most effective product that money can buy. Then bury the scumbag along the side of the road in the morning.
It’s that simple. I like my family, your family and stray squirrels more than drug addicts.
I thought the Feds said regardless of how the vote goes on the Proposition, they were going to continue to strictly enforce federal law in California which makes possession of marijuana a crime. I think he’s nuts for blowing a million bucks on legalization. He’s lost it. Is he gonna buy the DOJ also? Don’t say he already has, for if that were true, then he wouldn’t need to meddle at all. The Prop will pass with or without his money on it. So then everyone is going to get charged with a crime for smoking. Why is that worth a million bucks when it was gonna happen anyway??
