Re: State Proposals

I know this isn't my state, but I thought this was interesting. Someone I live with is from Alaska, and one of his proposals was the decriminalization of marijuana. I read the proposal, and it was complete decriminalization, like, you could smoke it, grow it, buy it, sell it, etc. I thought it was crazy! Yea, they could tax it, but it didn't require growers to have licenses, so how would you tax that? Fortunately, it didn't pass, 57% to 43%.

You know that is an interesting issue. It's another one of the states/rederal government rights concept.

...ad infinitum. If you are interested in reading the actual text of those amendments, as it's pretty obvious you have not yet done so, visit the Secretary of State website for each of the 11 states wherein this was on the ballot.

Sorry. I actually did research on it before posting. I just missed the one line that stated the civil union part. Only three states actually dealt with marriage alone. What can I say but try and fight the amendments in the courts.
