California Democrats Bet on Bong War

Seizing on new independent polling data, proponents of Proposition 19 — the Golden State ballot measure that would make possessing and growing marijuana legal — argue the measure is going to drive younger-voter turnout in such a way that it will benefit the Democrats statewide, from gubernatorial retread Jerry Brown to Sen. Barbara Boxer.

Taiwanese Animated Report on Prop 19 Marijuana Initiative

This video more or less speaks for itself. I doubt that marijuana smoking would be allowed in some of the public places where it depicts people doing that, but they were trying to present the arguments being made by both sides. One commenter on the video noted that they presented the stoned driver as going too slowly, not fast and recklessly, an insightful detail.

 
As an east coaster it took me a few moments to remember this, but the bear is a symbol for the state of California.

marijuana in Oregon.

Friend -

My name is Alice Ivany, and I'm one of the chief petitioners for Measure 74 - a ballot initiative that, if passed, will regulate the supply of medical marijuana in Oregon.

I'm also a medical marijuana patient. I'm voting Yes on Measure 74 so Oregon patients like myself have better, safer access to our medicine. But it will only pass if you vote by November 2.

Can I count on you to vote Yes on Measure 74? It's critical we can count you as a Yes vote for our campaign.

Imagine getting an important prescription from your doctor, but having no place to go to get it filled. Medical marijuana patients in Oregon - like myself - are faced with this problem every day.

Measure 74 would help by creating nonprofit clinics like pharmacies to distribute medical marijuana. This important step will ensure that patients have safe, immediate access to their medicine without needing to go to the black market.

If we pass Measure 74, we can improve the quality of life for patients in Oregon. But we won't be able to win this election without the support of voters like you.

Would you please pledge to vote "yes" on Measure 74?

Please join me and pledge to vote "yes" on Measure 74. Click here to pledge to vote.

We are less than a month away from Election Day and things are beginning to heat up. It's critical that you and every Oregonian you know vote for Measure 74.


Thousands of Oregonians like me depend on medical marijuana for relief from serious illness and terminal disease, but they don't have a safe, regulated place to get it.With your help, we can pass Measure 74 and provide safer access to medical marijuana for patients in Oregon.

Pledge to vote Yes for Measure 74.

Thanks for all you do.

Best,

Alice Ivany

Prop 19 Analysis: Will Marijuana Legalization Increase Use?

As California moves toward the legalization of marijuana — next month, voters will decide on Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 — a key question remains: could the new law produce a whole generation of stoners? Opponents of legalization say, yes, fearing it will lead to a massive increase in pot smoking among youth. But some supporters suggest the opposite: legalizing cannabis could de-glamorize it and ultimately prompt reductions in toking. Who's right?

If California Legalizes Marijuana, How Will Obama React?

If Prop 19 passes and marijuana is legalized, California could become a "test-case" state in challenging federal laws on the matter. But what would this mean, practically? Well, a lot of it hinges on how President Barack Obama reacts.
