Californian voters make two verdicts on marijuana taxations on the U.S. Election Day. When they defeated a statewide measure for taxing marijuana’s recreational usage, the same voters allowed taxation of marijuana for medical uses in local bodies.

It seems that voters have intelligibly applied their right in the case of marijuana in California. Proposition 19, the ballot measure to legalize or tax recreational and personal usage of marijuana was rejected by voters for 56 percent over 44 percent in the elections.

In the same time, people in local levels, voted and succeeded proposals to tax medical marijuana. Thus nine California cities got their marijuana measures legalized in this election. It was previously analyzed that Prop 19 was failed in the state due to lesser participation of young people in elections. Actually youngsters between 21 and 29 are the actual demanders of such a measure.

The 2010 elections have been a bitter sweet thing for me. I am quite happy that Jerry brown won govenor but either way he is was the lesser evil. I could care less about any of the props besides 19 because it would of changed California for the better, granted it was poorly written. It also makes me disappointed that many young voters didn't vote.
