MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION IS A FEDERAL, NOT STATE, ISSUE; VOTE NO PROPOSITION 19
No on Proposition 19: There Are Many Arguments in Favor of Legalizing
Pot, but This Measure Will Create a Major Conflict of Existing Laws
THERE ARE many arguments for legalizing marijuana. Clearly
prohibition against it has been a failure as was prohibition against
alcohol. When there is a huge market of millions of people for a
product, prohibition inevitably leads to a criminal market to fulfill
the demand.
There is an unregulated multibillion dollar marijuana market in
California that enriches drug cartels and motivates dealers to
promote the substance and sell it to children.
