CA: Marijuana legalization goes up in smoke

Who would have thunk it

Legalization of marijuana FAILED in California. Apparently the pot heads didn't get up their couches to go vote.

In the stores buying doritos.

Yes but the city of San Fransisco did pass a law banning happy meals. No toys in foods that "they" determine to be unhealthy.

We can all rest easy now.

The feds would sue them if they passed it anyway.....going against federal law and all....

California has bigger issues now: Jerry Brown, and all the incumbents (Boxer, Pelosi) made it through. Business as usual in the land of labor unions. I hope everyone that voted for these clowns stays in that state and enjoys what they have brought on themselves.

Can you say mass exodus of any job creating wealth?

Look at what has happened in New York...

We've been bleeding out for a long time. I work for a company that probably made your microprocessor. Last Fab they built in Ca, was a research fab, not production. And that was years ago. All the Fabs are being built in business friendlier states, or overseas(Ireland, China ect...)

What kills me right now, is seeing the new Bay Bridge being built. It's built in China and shipped here. We, the US and Calif, are building the base foundation, but the bridge itself is being made 1/2 way across the world.

I wrote the bridge commission. They replied that they did not even get a US bid for it. Sad... It's one thing that a California company did not bid to build a bridge in their own state. But, they did not even get any submissions from companies in the US.

Part of it is the outsourcing. Part of it is the cost. A major chip manufacturer just built a new wafer fab in China. That fab would have cost an additional $billion here, just to build. Then there is the issue of supply. Like the bridge, most of the big steel is shut down in the US. The Pittsburgh Steelers should change their name; there is no steel in Pittsburgh any more. It is all overseas.

it must go through a person like dirt through a worm

So you've been to Sacramento and ate from one of the "Fresh Express" lunch wagons Fresh Express, it goes thru you like an Express train.

Funny, those trucks always parked near Chucks(local porta-potty company).

Honestly though, ate from a few of those trucks when I did some construction work; food was suprisingly good...

they should have had a bake sale at the poling places with free "BROWNIES" for the voters.

53.9%-46.1% is hardly a resounding defeat especially for a low budget high profile campaign. I look for this initiative to be brought forth again and I suspect next time around, it will have more backing. The base will be galvanized by how close they came.

Since they re elected the same folks that got them into the financial mess the State is in now, I think they will be pretty broke by the next election...

Won't be able to afford to.

Right, 'cause we know those marijuana folks are so law abiding. I'm sure they will love paying taxes for their stuff. As soon as it becomes legal the gray market for un-taxed pot will be even bigger.

Think about it, pot is easy to grow and doesn't require the processing of alcohol or tobacco.

I'm skeptical of the tax revenues that the pot legalization folks claim.
