All of the above stated they support Proposition 19 clearly, it may not be the best initiative but it's a bill that every day cannabis and non-cannabis consumers can finally pass, realistically while bring the long awaited relief to the every day smoker.


Now lets see who's NOT in favor of legalizing cannabis, seems the trend is, is those who are gaining profit or political gain from the illegality of cannabis and the fear and/or imprisonment of the people under current laws, are the people or corporations who oppose:

Recent Quote Referring to a current Dispensary Owner:

"Now, if you ran a business where you could sell your product for $5-$15 per GRAM or $200 to $800 per OUNCE, and you only had to compete with one other business in your local area, would you be excited about the prospect of many more competitors and prices dropping as much as 80%?"

If Prop 19 Passes: It will

If passed by the voters on November 2, 2010, Proposition 19 will

* Reduce the racial bias in cannabis arrests

* Create between 60,000 and 110,000 new jobs in California

* Generate between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion in new direct tax revenue annually

* Expand California's economy by between $16 billion and $23 billion annually

* Reduce crime in California

* Reduce violence in California and Mexico

* Free up law enforcement resources to focus on violent crime and property crime.

* Reduce environmental damage to California's public lands from illegal grow operations.

* Reduce prison costs and prison overcrowding

* Reduce funding to drug cartels, who currently get about 70% of their revenue from illegal cannabis sales

* Reduce police corruption

* Improve the relationship between police and the communities they serve

* Reduce alcohol's cost to society by allowing adults to choose a safer alternative


If Prop 19 doesn't pass, we'll continue to have the police harassing and imprisoning simple, recreational smokers while the growers and cartels profit from our fear of a continued police state against the cannabis community. Prices will continue to rise, we'll continue to have more federal funding against cannabis grows, and we'll continue to have the largest increase in private and state prisons in the world. Enough is Enough, Vote Yes on 19 and work to legalize the nation

Prop 19, The Beginning Of The End:

THE real reason behind cannabis prohibition has nothing to do with cannabis flower smoking. Those who have even slightly investigated prohibition know this.

Hemp alone is capable of providing over 50,000 sustainable, everyday products, anything from building homes, making paints, and soaps, to plastic appliances, to even fueling our entire nation. This severely impacts the profits of who currently supply our everyday products: Oil, Logging, and other Toxic Industry.

Within the past few years, there's been more & more media/government suppressed information on new science proven and patient documented cannabis curing cancer findings. So between the two, hemp and the phenomenal medicinal qualities of the cannabis buds, are the real reasons the plant's been illegal for over 70 years.

THE real reason why Proposition 19 HAS TO PASS has NOTHING to do with how it only allows a small amount of sq footage for cultivation, allows a small amount for personal possession, or if it taxes a store purchase on a sack. This has minimum legitimacy for considering whether you support prop 19 or not.  Here @ PTL we've came across documented proof of hundreds and hundreds of otherwise dying patients getting CURED of several different diseases using only, concentrated cannabis oil. They already gave America's current options a chance: chemo and radiation, which didn't cure or heal much of anything. They need cheap, powerful, and natural medicine legal.

If California passes Prop 19, this will set a trend for other states in the US just how they did back in 1996 with 215, now there's a total of 14 and counting Legal Medical Marijuana States, and dozens of cities across the nation where possession with small amounts is decriminalized.

If passed in California this fall, this will influence the federal government on what exactly the people demand and what they'll get, even if they have to get it, state by state. Once Legalized, the phenomenal benefits of hemp as industry and cannabis as medicine will bring some much needed power back to the farmers, patients, and the people as a whole.

Those of you that do not support Prop 19, End the Ignorance and Selfishness behind the simple objections and have compassion for recreational smokers and dying patients that have almost had their lives ruined not by the plant, but by the prohibition of the plant. Cannabis and Hemp have been needed in this world since the start for medicinal, industrial and recreational uses. The government and media already display enough hate & separation amongst the people , get pass the propaganda and pass prop 19, enough is enough.
