As a registered voter I got the voter information guide and was confused because I thought it was the phone book at 222 pages for 15 propositions. Knowing that I’ve been fooled before I thought I would reach out and as opinions on decoding this’s year’s batch of lies.
Thought it might be fun to hear some comments and see how the board here votes. Prop 64 Legalization of Marijuana. Allows adults over the age of 21 to buy pot like alcohol.

This one's full length description was like 20 pages long. Very complex.

Despite the fact I have no interest in this I'd vote yes on it IF there isn't some other nastiness hiding along with it in those pages.

I can't stand pot smoking and find it disgusting and I don't think it speaks well for a person if they are a habitual user, but I oppose the war on drugs and anti-marijuana laws have become a dead letter here. If there aren't garbage provisions in here, I'm inclined to vote "yes" on this one. |

I'll be voting no on this one.
The pot of today is not the pot of the days when i tried it. This new stuff is insane and does cause all kinds of problems. |

I'm voting no on the regulation of marijuana act. It will just create more work for the cops. Legalization doesn't come with taxes and regulation. This is a step in an authoritarian direction.

Reducing the restrictions on a controlled item like marijuana will reduce crime.
Reducing the restrictions on a controlled item like firearms will increase crime. 
Am I the only one seeing the hypocrisy? |

The people that will really be happy will be the lawyers.
1. You'll need one if you get busted by the feds. 2. You'll need one when your boss fires you for smoke a joint three weeks earlier (there currently is no test that can show you are under the influence, just that you smoke some in the recent pass. 3. You'll need one when you get busted for DUI from smoking a joint three weeks earlier (see 2). 4. You'll need one if you are caught with any and it isn't readily apparent it came from a "legal" source. |

I will vote yes in hopes that it puts a leash on all the illegal pot farms near our property.

Pretty even on the voting on this issue ... wonder what it polls like on a liberal site?

What, exactly, does this one do aside from legalize marijuana?

Voting NO, because I hate hippies and potheads. It's about freedom and choice. And I guess only you are capable of determining and deciding what rights, freedoms, and choices people should be allowed to have.

. There is a limit to that, though, otherwise all laws would be immoral. |

I think 1960's comedian Lenny Bruce nailed it when he said originally as we started to gather together in groups in the caveman days we needed rules on where to eat, sleep, and shit. And then governments were formed and now there are regulations on everything except where to eat, sleep, and shit.

Voting yes on this one. I don't do it, but I don't really care if you do. And people who want to smoke weed are going to smoke weed anyways, regardless of whether or not it's against the law.

I have had to stop the process of selling a firearm when a potential customer, after filling out a 4473
opens their wallet to show me their CDL and in the pocket next to it is a pot card, then the argument ensues about it being "legal" in California at which point I have to explain that we are a FEDERALLY LICENSED business and that they have technically perjured themselves on a federal form. There have also been incidents where we had to refuse service when a person comes in the shop REEKING of pot (or alcohol for that matter) It'll be interesting to see how this plays out if it passes! |

Well, that is the main argument right there. The same harm it is doing now (but we tax it) and the same type harm as alcohol. Like you I don't think it's a win/ win situation but we're not being progressively more harsh with users ( like say Singapore) so we've signalled accepting the status quo, lax ( or no) enforcement and penalties. We could push back but there is no public will to do so. |

In the military while I was part of security I was exposed once a year to a controlled burn where the MAA's came in and lit up some government issued marijuanna for us to smell to calibrate our noses.
