I would rather there be less pot in America, not more, but I agree with Palin: this isn’t a big issue, especially now.
I think Tea Partiers in CA see this as a Sacramento scheme to get more tax revenue so they can keep spending beyond our means.
Read the actual proposition. It’s not libertarian in the slightest.
Maybe some would because they believe that the WOD is stupid. Maybe not. Maybe they are individuals and can’t be conveniently put into boxes. Maybe the group isn’t everything. Sure, liberals are knee-jerk lock-step marching zombies but tea partiers aren’t.
You are either for the Republic as founded or against it.
Unionize the labor picking that pot leaf and you’ll take all of the profit out of it (but not the corruption it breeds).
Nonsense. They could support State's Rights just as well by voting for a death penalty for potheads.
Latest polls here in cali show it’s going down in defeat. But then again do stoners put down the oreo’s and answer the cell/phone to take the survey? We voted no on this. Seemed to pacify the druggies under the shroud taxation would bring more money. Doesn’t add up and very reluctant to fall for a potential long term scam.
Is Frito Lay or Hostess backing it;)
Idiots for Pot and that is about it.

Yes and no.
Drug laws, like abortion or education or any number of things, should have been kept to the states. If it isn’t mentioned in Article 1, Section 8, then the federal government shouldn’t be involved.
No doubt drugs are awful for you - and I’m including marijuana here, having both smoked it and seen its effects back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. I frankly don’t want it legal. Isn’t that the problem, though - using the power of the federal government to “do good” even though those things aren’t in the Constitution? You would think that we would have learned this lesson after federalizing prohibition of alcohol, but instead we’ve just kept federalizing one concern after another, until a large proportion of the citizenry think that the federal government’s job is to be ultimate fixer of problems.
If the people of California want legal pot, fine. Just don’t impose their ideas on the other 49 states.
Wishful thinking by Mexico and the libertarians - and various states that want a new tax revenue stream.
The last thing we need is a country of stoners. That’s one of our problems now, in fact. Too many young people with fried brains.
“Conventional wisdom says .... “
Conventional wisdom should give me a call and I’ll let him/her in on the real deal.
Read my reasoning here if you care to.
Let CA win this battle and face the Feds. I'm not being facetious at all. If CA marijuana growers can produce Federally controlled substances and sidestep the Commerce Clause, then I shall do likewise with other Federally restricted items that I intend to create for my own personal use and never put into interstate commerce.
