of course legalization groups support it, but they are showing their naivete..
have you read the prop? Its is poorly written, vague and perfectly meaningless! It is doomed to failure, even if it passes, it will go to the courts and get overturned, not just because of the laws, but because the prop itself is not well-written as law. it even contradicts itself in several places, it is truly half-baked..
if it was meant to pass or had any real chance it would have been drafted with all the specifics of any law which should be taken seriously. BUT, as I said, it has definitely been a great boost to the cannabis movement, and many californians from all backgrounds are increasingly lenient about cannabis consumption.
The law which the governor signed today is MUCH more beneficial, as it has the tangible benefits of being an actual law. under the new law, cannabis is no longer a misdimeanor, so if I were to get arrested on the street I don't have to report it to my boss like I did before, and it won't fuck up my employment like it did the last four times I was arrested for possession.. further, most cops won't even write the ticket, as many courts have deprioritized convictions of under an ounce, the DA throws it out. Just like cops will often let you go for a traffic ticket with a warning cuz it aint wort all the trouble, so will they now be even more lenient than they already have as of recent.
I count my victories where I can get em, and I only invest my spirit into potential success, besides, I been underground with herb for so long I've started to like being a pirate about it
