Another for the Stoners

Wins and losses for the stoners yesterday.

America voted and pot was NOT legalized in Colorado, South Dakota, or Nevada. More on this later.

However, for you Californians, I'd like to thank voters in Santa Monica, Santa Cruz, and Santa Barbara, for voting YES and winning, making marijuana arrests the lowest priority for law enforcement. So head over to the pier and spark up; or more accurately, stay home and spark up.

Let's get back to the three states whose initiatives failed. South Dakota voted NO on legalizing medical marijuana by a mere 15,000(4%) of votes.

But here's the craizest part- Nevada and Colorado weren't legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes. No no, their ballot measure was for legal and regulated availability of marijuana to all persons over 21, with possession being limited to an ounce(in CA, you can have up to 8 Ozs of medical marijuana). Even those these didn't pass, just barely in Nevada, the precendent is starting to be set and the choice is going to the voters where we're seeing the margin shrink rapidly.

The only thing more appalling is that America would rather see pot legalized than same-sex marriage, which is disturbing and frustrating.

That's my Poll-Merica recap.

I should be blogging more, but I've been hustling towards my deadline for Scott Chernoff and Frank Meyer's VideoGame Theater, all the while being promoted to 2nd editor on the pot documentary we're finishing. Stay tuned America, I'll be with you shortly.

If you haven't seen Videogame Theater, I posted the original under My Videos. Go watch!
