Recreation­al marijuana

-

64 Question: Should adults 21 and older be allowed to possess, transport and use up to an ounce of marijuana for recreation­al purposes and grow as many as six plants? Money raised for “Yes” campaign: $19.8 million Money raised for “No” campaign: $2.5 million What you should know: Six years after a similar marijuana legalizati­on question was defeated by California voters, this year’s version has stronger financial backing, including money from former Facebook President Sean Parker and others. Proponents say the war on drugs has failed and the initiative is needed to end the incarcerat­ion of pot users. Opponents say it does not set standards for stopping motorists from driving while impaired by pot, among other concerns.
