I thought they were progressive but they just THINK they are. Hopefully Apple, HP, AMD, Intel, Google, Yahoo, FaceBook and other global high-tech/Net companies will ditch Cali's borders and move elsewhere so as not to be brought down by the IGNORANCE in that state. Maybe even Oakland/San Fran and some of the other progressive Cali cities can SECEDE from the state. Again, I, a Canadian, am sorely disappointed. In fact, the US has lost her way a loooong time ago: Wars, corporate un-free market corruption, a bankrupt federal government (including Cali's), declining education system & common SENSE, progressive obesity et al have done in all the hard work the Founding Fathers built. Besides, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Czech Republic and a host of countries are waaaaaaaaay ahead of you on drug policy. Californians really FCUKed up on Nov 2nd.

I was hoping California would lead the way in ending our current foolishness. We are currently doubling the size of the nearby prison. A few numbers. "The United States comes in first, too, on a more meaningful list from the prison studies center, the one ranked in order of the incarceration rates. It has 751 people in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. (If you count only adults, one in 100 Americans is locked up.) The only other major industrialized nation that even comes close is Russia, with 627 prisoners for every 100,000 people. The others have much lower rates. England's rate is 151; Germany's is 88; and Japan's is 63. The median among all nations is about 125, roughly a sixth of the American rate." New York Times To bad.
