Ok listen up guys I know were all very pissed at these liers but that propsition will pass I promise you we don’t have enough money and once it passes every other state will follow and by the end of 2011 you’ll be able to buy an ounce of dank blueberry for 100 bucks at giant eagle. Fuckyes!
Ok Calvina, you don’t want our kids thinking its socially acceptable NOW? What about the past 3000+ years where Cannabis was used worldwide for it’s industrial, medicinal, AND recreational uses? Famous cannabis users to name a few: Queen Victoria, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, possibly even Shakespeare. But history has been rewritten since the 30s, and you will never learn that in schools today. Oh Calvina, Aaron never said cannabis was harmless, but far SAFER than booze and tobacco.
I REALLY REALLY wanna fight one of the anti marijuana guys. they all just lie and answer questions with more questions. so many times Ive seen them bring up 30+ year old statistics and tell everyone that they are correct.

Stoners till the day we die ;D
Let them think we are stupid and lazy lol
I love to surprise idiots who think i dont know the first thing about botany with a fist full of knowledge up their ass.
But I’m not worried about it. It certainly looks as if recreational marijuana will be legal in California by November 2010. And I predict that it will create the domino effect among the other States. Representatives from other States will see (VERY QUICKLY) how fast California’s struggling economy will start to flourish after recreationally legalizing. If this all goes to plan, I bet the whole country will have legalized the herb. Which will make the world a better place.

@Tw1St3DSt33L @Tw1St3DSt33L That feeling of paranoia from feeling like you’re going to get caught would completely disappear if we decriminalized or legalized Marijuana. She’s just stuck in the 1930’s with the whole “Reefer Madness” horse shit.
@101011we
Let alone they will not have people going to treatment of cannabis because 99.9% of treatment cases for cannabis are court ordered. Also they will not be spending taxes to fight it. That is what we call a 300% jump in tax savings. Take 2 spending sprees out completely and add one conservative money maker. Let alone it frees up other markets such as paper,construction materials,fabrics, and much more for resale.
I would like to point out to this dumb lady that all of the states had legal marijuana up until a little over 40 years ago.
@toolheade33 True that, they also claim marihuana causes paranoia. But i think society is causing this paranoia, you always have to be carefull certain people dont catch you or find your stash.
Fay is just trying to legislate morality. The health care costs of Marijuana users are significantly lower than those of alcohol or tobacco users. Taxes generated from the legal sale of Marijuana would greatly outweigh the health costs associated with Marijuana use. Also Fays incessant rambling is a sign she has no idea what shes talking about. Marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco are completely different drugs. You can lump them into one category.
She said that it won’t help because the amount of people using could increase by 30%. Thats just more money that the government is going to make off it
i dont think this vote will pass until the stigma of pot smokers is gone. all anti-drug people attack in these debates saying that people will always be lazy and high if its legal, and thats simply not true.
this will be legal for ADULTS, who i hope can handle some weed every now and then
I’m so moving to Cali, when this becomes legal!
I LOVE U MARIJUANA!
Hey MPP please use the arguement that teens say it is easier to get marijuana than alcohol, no drug dealer will ask you for I.D. but if it was regulated, it would lower teen use. You guys are awsome
I disagree (im an alien)
i agree lol ( im a dude)
win
what a dumb bitch
its going to be party!
“stoner stimulus”?
come on, this is a serious issue. it doesn’t need lame headlines.
Epic win.

If he would only get enough time, he could destroy every single pathetic argument she has against it…
…b.t.w. The “treatment” she is talking about is actually Forced Treatment by the government, because no one would Choose Jail over Rehab…
