Prop 19 Official Results Thread

[nathenking]

we may be over analyzing prop 19's defeat
most of the points are good, but a simpler explanation may suffice
voter turnout was 30%, or so i saw on another thread
that kind of turnout is typically skewed to older voters, who have higher turnout rates

EDIT: Did a fact check, rate was not that low. 44.2% is the current actual. But it is a low turnout rate which does give older voters a stronger voice in the process.

I agree.... if they put a measure on the 2012 ballot, (where more younings will turn out to vote) there will be a very good chance of it passing... so, we can write a better bill that is structured toward actual legalization, and a more leiniante possesion/growing space, and we might just be way better off. (then if this one would have passed) things have a funny way of working out... so all the doomsdayers about this bill, watch and see it actually pass with even more positive benefits for the small timer than structured toward corporate grows....

Here is a link that touches on the "free med maj for the poor" information. what do you think? https://www.rollitup.org/content/colorado-approved-free-medical-marijuana-85.html

$90 isn't that much money to come up with,but it should be a ONE TIME FEE only, or at the very least only requiring a renewal every 5 years. The back log on getting registration is getting bigger and bigger. I'm surprised Colorado hasn't jacked it up to $150 or $200, they probably will before long saying they need more people hired to process the massive amounts of applications.

there will be lessons learned, at least i hope there will be
i was a bit surprised that Lee seems ready to pony up another try
he has a partner this time, the name escapes me at the moment
but it will be critical for it not to be a 'Lee' proposition, he got too much bad rep, deserved or not
i think the framework for commercial sales must be made clearer than it was in 19
