CNN Article about Prop 19

On many fronts, Prop 19 might have less impact than proponents or opponents suggest. But Prop 19 might generate benefits.
If Prop 19 passes, this will encourage other states to legalize. And if enough states do so, the pressure on the federal government could pass a tipping point.
In a free society, the presumption must be that people can smoke, snort, eat or inject whatever they wish, so long as they do not harm others. The burden of proof should rest on those who would ban marijuana, not those who want it legal. That burden has never been met.
By adopting Prop 19, California can restore a presumption of liberty. That is reason enough.
