Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

I'd rather see them decriminalize it.

I wouldn't, but this bill is definitely a good idea.

I think it is a step to the side, really. It doesn't help, but it doesn't hurt. It merely distracts people from the issue by helping people get off drugs and back int a society that makes it a criminal offense to possess and use them. That satisfies some people, but it does nothing for decriminalization efforts.

A real step forward would be to end the sentencing distinction between crack and powdered coke, or reducing sentences across the board.

I think it's poorly written and wastes money. It would be better to vote this down and wait for a well written proposition.

I voted no on all propositions like I always do. Propositions, to me, is a way to sell shitty laws to the people by tricking them into voting for it. I doubt anyone even understands the repercussions of each individual proposition. So instead of risking such repercussions, I tend to vote conservatively and say "keep everything the way it is." California's economy is driven by industry anyway. When we progress, its usually because our industries pulled us that way. Not because we voted for it.
