Countdown to November 2nd: Prop 18 and 19


Proposition 18 -  Well folks, if there is one reason you should get out and vote it is because Arnold the Idiot is making things easier for you.  On August 10th of this year, the Governor removed prop. 18 from the ballot so you are officially off the hook.  Even though it's off the ballot, for some reason there is still a sense something will go wrong so rather than just ignore it, Sacholes thought we'd inform you of this update anyway.  In fact, I have no idea what Prop. 18 was to begin with, but it probably had a bunch of legal gibberish.

Proposition 19 - Be sure this will be the one item the entire country, if not the entire world, will be keeping a red eye on for results. Prohibition of marijuana has FAILED.

Prop. 19 LEGALIZES MARIJUANA UNDER CALIFORNIA BUT NOT FEDERAL LAW. PERMITS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO REGULATE AND TAX COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND SALE OF MARIJUANA. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

(Official explanation: This prop allows people 21 years old or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Fiscal Impact: Depending on federal, state, and local government actions, potential increased tax and fee revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually and potential correctional savings of several tens of millions of dollars annually.)

All jokes aside, for once, the only pro that really, truly matters here is that legalization will generate billions for the state.  For someone who made the obscene amount of money out in the free economy, Meg Whitman sure has plenty of nerve to come out against this bill.  Ask her son, Griff.  Anyway, she also claims pot is a "gateway" drug, which has been proven false.  Consider this a breaking point for Meg, she is just wrong on too many issues.  

Billions of pounds is something our state can't afford to deny for petty arguments and senseless ramblings of crazy freaks like Whitman.  Plus we love that Arnold picture.
