[CA] New Proposition 19 ad declares 'war on marijuana has failed'
    #13385054 - 10/25/10 01:17 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

New Proposition 19 ad declares 'war on marijuana has failed'
October 25, 2010 - fresnobee.com

With the polls shifting against legalizing marijuana for recreational use, the Yes on Proposition 19 campaign is going to the airwaves with its first television commercial.

A spot featuring former San Jose Police Chief Joseph McNamara begins running in the Los Angeles television market today. He declares that "the war on marijuana has failed" and it is time to legalize pot "to allow police to focus on violent crimes, and put drug cartels out of business."

Proposition 19 strategist Dan Newman said the campaign picked the L.A. market for its initial commercial run "because it's the biggest market with the most swing voters and the largest proportion of election day voters." He said the Yes on 19 effort plans to "ramp up" ad airings in other markets soon.

The commercial comes as a recent Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California poll shows Prop 19 losing among likely California voters by 51 to 39 percent. A recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California had Proposition 19 trailing by 49 to 44 percent after the same poll had the initiative leading 52-41 percent in late September.

Here's is the text of the ad featuring McNamara, followed by the video below.

"Let's be honest: The war against marijuana has failed. I know from 35 years in law enforcement. Today, it's easier for a teenager to buy pot than beer. Proposition 19 will tax and control marijuana just like alcohol. It will generate billions of dollars for local communities, allow police to focus on violent crimes, and put drug cartels out of business. Join me and many others in law enforcement. Vote YES on Proposition 19!"

hell yes the war on drugs has failed! you dont need to look any further than the liqure store...

on a funny note i was talking to my friends fundamentalist christian mom about legalization today and she believes, not only that obama is the ant-christ of sorts, but she believe that the legalization of marijuana is going to be the 7 years of peace before the apocalypse...she said that everyone is going to be so stoned they are not going to work or anything and that society will fall and war will break out....its funny to me

This ad does not appeal to your average voter, it uses logic and common sense rather than creating fear. For this reason, I don't think prop 19 will pass. The common voter is just too naive to easily tricked.
It's too bad though, prop19 really could've changed the world...

I'm not sure where all this negativity regarding Prop 19's passage has come from all of a sudden.  I still feel it's going to pass.  Even if it doesn't, chances are the next bill that gets put on the ballot will pass.  As the days march on, more and more of the older population dies off, and with them goes their "no" votes on issues like this.

If society is to stoned to work, I doubt they'll be motivated to fight lol.

Oops didn't see you said that in a later post, haha funny shit.

its come from the conservative newspapers in california, who almost all published weak articles denouncing the passage of p19 and subsequent polls showing a drop in support. Its complete bullshit. I agree with you and I have a feeling it will pass also.

why does this ad leave out the important reasons why marijuana should be legal? yes it will help the state earn money while cutting some profit for drug cartels, but they're missing the most important facts



why not mention the fact that marijuana kills no one, when ingested orally or vaporized it has very little to no adverse health effects. why not talk about how rather than killing your brain cells it helps to protect them?

the reason why many people don't want marijuana legal is because they still believe the bullshit propoganda they've heard. if everyone knew the truth about these drugs and their effects there's no way that such drug laws could be enforced.

I love how it's always the "former" officials who are for this sorta stuff...no one wants to risk saying theyre for it while they are actually in office.
