So that poll contradicts every single other poll that has come out in the last year, but we are supposed to believe that one is right and every other poll is wrong because some random newspaper columnist says so? Yeah, that's makes perfect sense.

It's not a news article, those are written by reporters. This opinion piece was written by a columnist. He offers absolutely no proof to back up his logic defying claim.

So yes, I can attack and discredit it because it's not credible information. There have been about 30 or so major state wide polls taken in the last year, every poll except that one shows prop 19 passing. Why am I supposed to believe they are all wrong and that one is right?

What facts? It basically says that when polls are done by asking people face to face they don't support prop19. So what? When asked over the phone (more anonymously) they support prop 19. That only proves that people don't want to admit to supporting prop 19 in public. Luckily voting booths are private.

Dan,

Is normal part of the evil prop 19 conspiracy?

Read the ballotopedia on prop 19. All the polls except 1 have it passing. To claim the one statistical anomaly in that group is correct and every other poll is wrong isn't sound logic. Seems way more likely that they conducted that one poll in an inaccurate way.

I'll be ok either way. But this whole thing is starting to remind me of a past election.

Do you all remember when we could have had Al Gore as president, but we didn't because he wasn't liberal enough so people voted for Nader? How'd that work out again? Oh yeah, we got 8 years of George Bush.

All you guys who are voting against prop 19 because it's not perfect are the 2010 version of Nader supporters. Sure Nader was right about pretty much everything he said, but Gore would have been a hell of a lot better than Bush. Yeah, supporters you may be right about prop 19 having flaws, but prop 19 passing is still a hell of a lot better than continuing prohibition. If prop 19 fails and 5 years from now we still have no legal cannabis, it'll be on you.

yea i have a feeling that once its legal and farmers will have MASSIVE fields of it just like corn and anything else...a piece of corn at safeway is $0.25 which means weed could drop to a like a dollar an ounce plus that $50 tax that will come with it so there would be no point to grow it cause id be so cheap

Just a little info on the subject. In 1988 Phillip Morris bought 55,000+ acres in the emarald triangle (Mendicino and Humbolt) just waiting for this to come to fruition. Something to think about.

Not that I doubt you but I would really like to know where you have sourced this from...It makes a lot of sense.

If you are an authorized medical marijuana patient or one's authorized caregiver you are permitted to grow a limited amount of cannabis.

There is excellent black market weed grown in California. I'm not clear what that has to do with the medical marijuana laws. If cannabis grown under the medical marijuana laws enters the market for non-medical marijuana users it's as illegal as any other marijuana.

the S.10 bill did get passed. obama went around congress and signed it.
what this means is now small growers will have to pay 200 dollars a year to the gov just to sell at farmers markets.
it also means the black market is going to really take off.
we are a small otganic tobacco grower and we have customers after customers waiting to buy our organic tobacco at 10.00 a pound.
