Sacramento, CA: More than half of California voters support Proposition 19, a ballot initiative to legalize the private adult use and cultivation of limited amounts of cannabis, 49 percent to 42 percent, according to a statewide Public Policy Institute of California poll released last week.
Fifty-two percent of voters now back the measure, versus 41 percent who oppose it, according to the poll of 2,004 likely voters.
