No single candidate or issue up for vote will have as many implications for the country as Proposition 19. California has the 6th largest economy in the world and if cannabis is legalized there, could send reverberations to other states all across the United States.

And the more people there are discussing it sensibly, the better the chances legalization has nationally.
