Prop 19
    #490272 - 10/21/10 11:04 PM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Some questions for you:

1.  What does a pound of dank cost in Northern California right now?

2.  What does a pound of dank cost in Southern California right now?

3.  If Prop 19 is passed, what will a pound of dank cost?

4.  How is California (or the Feds) going to try stop all of the interstate smuggling that will inevitably emanate from California if Prop 19 is passed?

5.  Will the Feds fight California (withhold highway funds, etc..)?  If so, what will they do and how drastic will it be?

6.  Are the medical dispensaries going to go out of business?

7.  Are the cartels who grow in the national forests going to stop doing so?

Doesn't matter.

Prices will be forced to go down once a free weed market is established.

If Cali legalizes weed it will have a snowball effect with other states doing the same thing. The Federal government is going to be forced into accepting legal weed, or be threaten with civil war. There is simply too much money to be made from legal weed

I seriously doubt it. Their numbers may get reduced, but they will still be there.

Depends on who has been buying that weed.

But, to what?  Will a pound of dank go down to $2000 a pound?  $1000 a pound?  And how will the state of California enforce taxation?  I am genuinely interested in the market forces behind it and how it will all play out.

It might have an eventual snowball effect.  But, what about initially?  Will the Feds fight this in court or by withholding funds?  And, if the Feds can't fight it in court or with funding threats, what will they do?  Will they continue to bust businesses that have pot on the premises?  Or will it be so overwhelming that they won't even bother?  Or will they only bother with massive commercial ops (like the proposed Oakland greenhouse)?

How will they compete with people growing their own and it being sold in stores?

I'm actually shocked nobody is discussing this stuff.  All I see is stoners going, "Woo!  I'm going to Cali!".

1. 2 to 4 grand

2. Depends, more then in Nor Cal though.

3. Around 1000 but it's gonna take a bit to get there.

4. Same way they are now. They won't change a thing.

5. Yes they will but how bad things will get with them only time is gonna tell. They will do something.

6. No, they will just become dispensaries for the 21 and over crowd. Weed will not be in stores until it goes federal.

7. No, there is still a ton of other states to ship it to. Charges for growing on federal land are going to go way up.



It's pretty unlikely that this will pass anyway. Even thought most of the state seems to want to pass it the ones who smoke don't go out and vote. Only 12% of the people that smoke are expected to make it to the voting booth.

i dunno i would think that for smokers, they would want to go out and support it and make it out at any cost.

maybe im underestimating the movement though. i figured it would be a hot topic and everyone would be all gung ho and there would be a sense of working towards a bigger goal and all that

I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

I would like to think that there would be a larger turnout of stoners in light of the possibilities. This is a pretty epic possible turn of events.

Just about every news organization covering the elections in Nov.


Even when Obama was elected only 56% of registered voters voted in that election.

Took forever for the medical weed thing to finally pass. I'm hoping that it motivates people to go out and vote for it and not motivate the people against drugs to vote against it. Remember if it doesn't pass it's gonna slow down the medical weed movement at the same time. The anti weed people will throw the loss of prop 19 up every time something medical comes up for election from that point on.

Depending how they conducted their polls their numbers could be quite distorted.

You would have to be deaf and blind to live in California and not know about Prop 19.  The real answer is with apathy, laziness, and similar personal issues with individual voters.  This is not unique to cannabis consumers; albeit, it may be more exaggerated within the demographic.  Most elections and voting suffer from a lack of participation.

12% could just be preliminary polling, of which i and everyone i know doesn't care to partake in, but we always go out and vote on election day, especially for something like this. people have waited too long, and it's too important not to.

The polls have it running at basically 50/50 support/oppose using their 'likely voters' models. And most of those polls are conducted via landline telephones which have a strong bias toward the over-fifty crowd. One pollster found that by conducting two side-by-side polls, one with real people asking questions and one using automated polling, the poll using automated questioning resulted in about an 8% up-swing in support (to more than a MOE above 50%). The conventional wisdom is that the motivated Republican base would mostly oppose this but there's a strong vein of Libertarianism going around right now especially among moderate fiscal conservatives so there's no real good way to predict which way the right is going to come down on this.

Long story short: I don't think there's any way to predict this accurately and suspect that support is greater than the polls and conventional wisdom would imply.

Edit: Also don't forget there are medical referendums on the ballot in Arizona, South Dakota and Oregon.

i saw an ad today against one of the candidates for governor here.  She's a former republican DA, so of course she's against pot.  it was an ad saying that she'd take away our medical marijuana so we need to keep her out of the office.

Also on the note of Federal supremacy in this area: There's a section of the Controlled Substances Act that may be relevant. I forget where I was reading about it but I've just looked up the citation in the current code and found the ACLU's press release about it.

Title 21 USC Sec. 903:
Quote:

No provision of this subchapter shall be construed as indicating
    an intent on the part of the Congress to occupy the field in which
    that provision operates, including criminal penalties, to the
    exclusion of any State law on the same subject matter which would
    otherwise be within the authority of the State, unless there is a
    positive conflict between that provision of this subchapter and
    that State law so that the two cannot consistently stand together.




The ACLU takes the position that if the state law does nothing to require anyone to do anything in violation of federal law there is no positive conflict (only a negative one). The counter-argument would be that since Congress clearly intended to outlaw the commerce in cannabis the state law now allowing its commerce becomes a positive conflict for those regulating that commerce since they might be viewed to have become members of a criminal conspiracy under federal law.

I actually just stumbled on that now, but thanks!

After reading the first link: Yeah, pretty much what he said. Allowing cultivation isn't a positive conflict but regulating it might be.

I'm not 100% on California's procedure for implementing referendums that pass but let's just hope that whatever the final language as enacted is allows for severability.

Edit^2: TPM's poll tracker for Prop 19

That's got the oppose vote winning but if you use the filter to throw away the outliers it becomes more or less 50/50.

I didn't say it had a 12% chance of voting for those that think that is what I said. I said 12% of the people that want it to pass are gonna get off there asses to go out and vote. Other then taking the day off of work to say their gonna vote.

Most likely it will pass but it's not going to be sold in stores by walmart and other big chains like people say it's gonna be. Their simply not stupid enough to do it till it goes federal. Now your small mom and pop stores may take the chance. The price of weed will drop and the price of clones and seeds will rise.

I myself am moving some gardens to areas where seed and clone growing are a little more tolerated. (esp since I plan to shift the majority of the grows to clone production followed by feminized seeds)

How the Feds will handle people when they bust them will most likely be like it is now. Now if you are busted violating federal law and have a medical excuse when you go to federal court your not even allowed to bring up the medical thing.
