ARE VOTERS LYING ABOUT PROP. 19?

Written by Songs | 20 August 2010

When the Proposition 19 marijuana legalization initiative qualified for the ballot with a yes-or-no due vote in the November election, its passage seemed almost a foregone conclusion. 

Tax the approximately $12 billion pot industry in this state and you could collect $1.4 billion toward solving the state's budget deficit, not to mention helping out cash-strapped local governments. 

You would also take hundreds, maybe thousands, of law enforcement officers off the drug beat and allow them to go after "real criminals," said supporters of legalization. 

Since many surveys show that well over 50 percent of adult Californians have puffed a reefer at some time in their lives, you would think passage would be a snap.  But the polls don't all look that way.  In fact, indications are there's a strong possibility this proposition could fail, just like a similar one did 38 years ago, in 1972. 

The usually reliable Field Poll last month found that 48 percent of likely voters opposed legalization, while 44 percent were in favor.  That seems like a narrow margin, but ballot propositions that trail several months before an election usually lose.  Other recent surveys using live questioners yielded similar results.
