Lets just have R. LEE pay for it again.... He has already made millions of his MMJ dispensary. Mind you, off of people that needed medical MJ for relief... Wow, what a stand up guy R. LEE is, now he wants to take it a step further so he can make even more money off of it... Awesome for R. LEE, he gets to make millions while the majority of us can grow 2 pounds every 2.5 months... wow, that is really fare to us... Lets Vote Yes so R. LEE and a few others can become rich off a plant that we all love, that is another reason I dont support it.... keep the money in the people that need the moneys pocket, not these super rich capitalist pigs.... 2cents...

Get real. People have been making millions of dollars off of cannabis for over 40 years now. Richard Lee didn't invent the concept of making money off of it. With or without prop 19, prop 215, or any other law, there will be people making millions of dollars off of it. The idea that opposing prop 19 somehow stops people from having large scale grows is laughable. They've been around since the 60's.
Didn't you say you got busted with 60 pounds? That's about $180k worth of bud wholesale. Let me guess... That was all for personal use right? Or were you making a buck or two off of that yourself? Why is it ok for you to make a buck, but when other people do it then it's evil? Do as I say, not as I do right?
The "I gots mine" opposition to prop 19 is so hypocritical. Here's a guy who got caught making money off of bud while complaining that if it's legal others might make money, which of course is evil.
Get off your high horse. It's pretty easy to tell you oppose prop 19 for one reason. You're afraid it'll cut into your own business. Of course you'll never admit that, but everyone can see it plain as day.

it wont cut into my business... im already getting MJ at as low a price as possible, not even these warehouses will be cheaper, so it wont actually screw me out of money, but it will screw alot of little folks out of money, so I stand up for them... im such a shitty person.... and yeah i did make a profit considering the risk I was taking... that is something I can live with and do dan...

I've got no problem with people growing/selling bud to pay bills. But to say it's ok for you to do that, but if other people do it then they are horrible evil people who must be stopped, then you're being a hypocrite. You're going to oppose a law that could potentially bring an end to prohibition entirely because someone other than you is going to make a buck off of it is a bullshit attitude. Typical "I gots mine, f- everyone else" mentality.

That is how all business work, legal or illegal.... Its cut throat man, that is the way of capitalism... i have a home and a family to take care of, and so do alot of people, so what im saying is that this already wealthy man will be taking money out of people with less.... which i dont like, just like the war on the middle class in this country, this is the same type of thing, screw all the pople in the middle getting by so big rich people can have more.... i dont stand for that, wall street, walmart or any other kind of MOM and POP killer... and that is what this bill means to me and alot of people... So you cant blame us for trying to protect what lively hood we do have in this shitty economy... I think you would do the same thing dan.... But on the other hand, if this bill was written better and didnt favor the rich getting richer than of course I would support it, but it does not, so i dont support it... i think you can understand that man...

So you think 4 large scale grows, which btw, the DEA has already promised not to allow is going to stop everyone else everywhere in California from being able to make a living? Really? There are already large scale grows both indoor and outdoor all over California. I'm positive you're already aware of this.
As long as you have a high quality product, you'll always be able to get rid of it. You know this, I know this, EVERYONE knows this. Californians aren't going to all of a sudden decide they prefer mass produced schwag over locally grow top shelf is way outside the scope of reality.

nathen will argue with anyone, HE does not listen to your response, but HE always has another stupid point to make.
HE can make all the money that he wants, he just has a problem with anyone else doing the same.
HE can continue to do what he wants while ignoring the law, so everyone else can just make do for themselves.
HE is already paying low prices for pot, so everyone else can just continue paying more.
HE thinks big business is bad, like WalMart, but his business is just fine with him.
OK nathen, we get it.

Finally you got it potroast.... its still gonna be voted NO, so see you at the polls.... if it was such a good bill, me and so many other people would be voting for it.... But its not, so having dignity and a lil bit of self respect tells my inner self to vote no on it... criticize me for thinking for myself and doing what ever I want to weather there are laws or not... its actually quite liberating.... maybe you should take the time and become un afraid, stop watching the TV and start living as truely who you are... instead of being on this board regirgitating the same ole BS man... life is a constant renovation potroast, try not to get to stuck in your ways and and become a square....

It'll pass, but be very close. It'll only pass because a lot of people who could care less about legalization will vote for it because they see it having an economic benefit to the state. I've talked to several supervisors, city counsel members, even my congressman about this. They are all convinced it'll pass and are preparing for it.

Naw, he's listening. I tend to argue the same way some times. I may have my opinions and will keep making my case, but I do hear what the other side is saying. I have a feeling he's the same way.

it will pass by about 6%, 53% to 47%.
all polls except a few outliers reflect this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_19_(2010)#Polls
the poll you cite that has it trailing used a sample size of 448 likely voters. the best poll by PPP with 2,004 likely voters has it ahead by far. they also did cross sections that allow you to see how californians feel about 19 by age, gender, political affiliation, etc.
i did a simple breakdown and factored in a higher turnout of conservative voters based on predictable midterm election politics. i also estimated the undecideds to break decidedly for "no". with all these factors AGAINST prop 19, it still passes comfortably.
i encourage you to tell me how i went wrong in my calculations and why you feel prop 19 will not pass, despite a litany of evidence to the contrary.
the link to the PPP poll is within the quote, and ocntains all the info you need to dispute me if you wish.
