53% OF VOTES VOTERS SAYING THAT.
WE WILL CONTINUE MONITORING THE
PROPS.
WE'LL HAVE MORE COMING UP.
ONTO PROP 64.
THE POT PROP THAT WOULD LEGALIZE
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA FOR
PEOPLE OVER 21.
HERE IS A LIVE LOOK AT THE
NUMBERS.
IT LOOKS LIKE 54% SAY YES AND
46% SAY NO.
BACK IN 2010, THEY SAID NO TO
PROP 19, 53.5% OF THE VOTE
AGAINST.
WHY IS IT DIFFERENT THIS TIME?
A LOT OF PEOPLE A LOT MORE MONEY
BEHIND THE EFFORT THIS YEAR, A
CLEAR LAYOUT OF HOW THE TAXES
WILL LAYOUT FOR THIS PROP IN A
BIGGER VOTER TURNOUT.
MORE YOUNGER PEOPLE VOTING WHO
ARE ACTUALLY SUPPORTING THIS
PROP.
KCAL9 RANDY PAGES IN DOWNTOWN
L.A. WITH MUCH MORE ON THAT
MEASURE.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS
PROJECTING THAT IT WILL PASS AND
MARIJUANA WILL BE LEGAL FOR
RECREATIONAL USE IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT ANNOUNCEMENT HAS NOT BEEN
MADE HERE YET.
AT THIS MOMENT, EVERYONE HAS
GATHERED AROUND, LOOKING AT
THESE TV MONITORS, CAREFULLY
WATCHING THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE
AND THESE KEY MOMENTS THERE.
WE CAN TELL YOU, THOSE WHO ARE
REPRESENTING PROP 64 ARE NOT
QUITE READY TO ACCEPT THOSE
NUMBERS ALTHOUGH THEY'RE VERY
HAPPY TO HEAR.
YOU MUST BE PLEASED TO HEAR THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS IS PROJECTING
YOU ONE.
THINGS ARE TRENDING IN THE
RIGHT WAY.
IT IS CERTAINLY GOOD NEWS TO
HEAR THAT'S WHAT THEY THINK.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY TO
CALL IT JUST YET, BUT CERTAINLY
THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
BUT SAY IT DOES PASS AND
THAT'S HOW IT'S LOOKING, HELP US
UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS
IMMEDIATELY AND THEN WHAT GOES
INTO EFFECT ON JANUARY 1 OF
2018?
I THINK THE FIRST THING WE
CAN SAY IS WE CAN CLOSE THE DOOR
ON THE FAILED WAR ON DRUGS.
FROM A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE,
FOLKS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BE ABLE TO POSSESS AN OUNCE
OF MARIJUANA WITHOUT BEING
ARRESTED AND GROW SIX PLANS IN
THEIR HOUSE AFTER HOME.
I THINK EQUALLY IMPORTANT, FOR
THOSE FOLKS WERE CAUGHT UP IN
THIS FAILED WAR
BEEN ARRESTED, NOW THEY HAVE THE
ABILITY TO
THE RECORD WHICH WILL ALLOW THEM
THE ABILITY TO GO GET A JOB AND
THE OTHER TYPES OF THINGS THEY
NEED.
THANK YOU MICHAEL.
OF COURSE IN JANUARY 2018,
THAT'S WHEN THE ACTUAL STORES
CAN OPEN AND THE LICENSES WILL
GO OUT AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
GO OUT AND FIND A PLACE TO
PURCHASE IT.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT, YOU
CANNOT, EVEN IF THIS DOES PASS,
YOU CANNOT CONSUME MARIJUANA
OTHER THAN IN YOUR HOME.
YOU CANNOT DO IT IN PUBLIC
PLACES.
THERE ARE ARE STILL PLENTY OF
