Prop 19

It looks like a ballot measure to legalize marijuana in California has failed. Proposition 19 would have made it legal for adults of drinking age to possess up to 1 ounce of pot, as well as to grow and smoke the drug in private, and would have authorized local governments to tax its sale.

Many are watching to see if voters say yes to Proposition 19, the controversial ballot measure that would legalize marijuana in California. Advocates say it would be a moneymaker. Opponents see nothing but trouble ahead if Prop 19 passes.
