San Francisco Chronicle, 05 Oct 2010 – There’s clearly been a change in Californians’ views about marijuana. Proposition 19, which would legalize possession for adults older than 21, is leading in the polls – an outcome that would have been unthinkable just 10 years ago. So perhaps Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who opposes Prop. 19, was trying to find a middle way between the costly status quo and a potentially damaging free-for-all when he signed SB1449 last week. SB1449, authored by state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, makes marijuana possession an infraction rather than a misdemeanor.
