The propostion is the legalization of marijuana. San Francisco- A ballot measure that would legalize marijuana in California won the support Tuesday of the largest union in the state. The campaign has won the support of several other labor groups including the Northern California council of the International Longshore & Warehouse Unionand Communications Workers of Americal Local 9415. Proponents say that prohibition has failed and that it’s time for “a common sense approach to control marijuana.  “Opponents, backed by law enforcement organizations and the California Chamber of Commerce, challenge almost every claim made by proponents, starting with the title: The Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010. They contend it would do no such thing.  The proposition is being proposed in the first place for medication of those who are ill.  The negative side is when it’s legalized there can be possibilities of fraud.  If it passes in California, why wouldn’t it be able to spread to other states?  If it doesn’t pass, the possiblity can still be likely for the proposition to spread to other states if the same issues apply for the actual medication for the people.  The proposition is germaine to this day because the proposition has been passed, even though society’s views may not support it one hundred percent.
