Appeal-Democrat, 22 Oct 2010 – I vote no on Proposition 19. I have heard both arguments: the pros seem like so much propaganda and the cons seem too political. It’s not that hard to see why we should vote no. If this law passes, our schools will no longer be drug free zones. Medical staff, EMS, fire/law, those we trust with our lives could be under the influence at any given time. Families will be ripped apart and children will be removed because drug abuse eventually leads to that.
