As much of the country, not just Californians, waited with baited breath, today comes the news that the much anticipated Prop 19 did not pass the vote in yesterday’s election.

Prop 19 is a law that would have allowed the legalization of marijuana in small amounts for those over the age of 21, as long as it were not being used in a public place and within the presence of children.

The measure lost by only a nine percent vote.

Many are blaming the age turn out of registered voters at the poll, as California turned out more older registered voters than it did younger voters.
