However people feel, I’m not sure this initiative will pass. All the growers I know hate this measure. Hate. (By the way, I didn’t see one grower or cannabis activist onstage at the press conference. Maybe they were hiding in the back.) This initiative has many of the same problems that Proposition 19 had: It does nothing to help the folks that need it most. I may be overstating a bit, but you get my point. There is no reason for a grower in Fresno or Calaveras or any city that has cannabis cultivation in place to support this measure. Without the support of the growers and the hardcore activists, AUMA proponents will have to appeal to the squares, and there is no guarantee that the squares, er, people who don’t use cannabis, will support a legalization initiative. People forget how conservative most of California really is.
Whatever happens, this will be an interesting election season. Everyone stay calm and do your best to be civil. Smoke a bowl before you post that Facebook flame-screed. Don’t take anything personally. Get involved. Have fun.
