I am not a current resident of California, as I am on the road traveling through—though during my stay here I have become familiar with Proposition 19, which would allow anyone over the age of 21 (legal drinking age) to grow and possess a small amount of marijuana for personal use.

To me, as long as California can have consistent laws throughout all counties of the state, this seems like a fabulous idea. Stop the violence caused by illegal drug growing and distributing practices and keep marijuana out of the hands of Philip Morris and the pharmaceutical companies.
