Title: Proposition 19: Did “Failure” Build Larger Success?

Summary: In November 2010, California's Proposition 19 lost in the midterm election by 700,000 votes out of 10 million cast. This proposition was the latest of two dozen initiative efforts in California beginning in 1966 to propose limited legalization of marijuana for personal use. Its electoral achievement exceeded that of any previous marijuana measure except the 1996 proposition authorizing medical use. Even in losing, Proposition 19 succeeded in several important ways. It received an impressive 46.5% of the vote amid relatively unfavorable electoral demographics. The initiative’s popularity in polls also prompted the legislature to enact a preemptive reform that reduced simple marijuana possession to a citation for all ages.
