A proposition on the 2010 ballot in California that will finally allow for persons 21 and older to legally purchase, sell (with proper licensing), and consume marijuana. It will be a huge step in curtailing the extremely deadly drug wars, allow the state of California to get millions in tax revenue, make pot harder for children to get, and create jobs.
Idiot: Prohibition is so wonderful. Isn't it awesome that the drug war has claimed 28,000 lives in Mexico so far? I love cartels, billions spent locking non violent offenders up, and lost revenue for the state. I'm totally going to vote no on Prop 19! Protect the children from having easy access to weed!
Sane Person: Prohibition has been an unmitigated failure. Billions are lost in tax revenue, we needlessly lock up people for smoking a plant, pot is easier to get than alcohol for those under 21, and tens of thousands have died from the drug wars. Enough is enough. Yes on Prop 19!
A failed attempt to legalize recreational use of cannabis in California. It would have helped out California's economic problems by increasing the state revenue, as well as possibly lowering casualties in the ongoing drug war.
Stoned. A reference to Prop 19, California's marijuana legalization ballot proposition. Originated in an email from Ben Huh to Conde Nast, offering to buy Reddit: "I’m Ben Huh, and I run the Cheezburger Network (which includes The Daily What, if you were too Prop 19’d to notice)."
