CA Prop 19: Evidence Mounts That Marijuana Initiative Will Drive Youth Turnout | Elections

CA Prop 19: Evidence Mounts That Marijuana Initiative Will Drive Youth Turnout | Elections: "With its own cultures of passionate supporters and dedicated opponents, Marijuana legalization is a political issue unlike almost any other. Rallies dedicated to the reform of marijuana laws draw tens of thousand regularly around the country. Rare is the political issue that can do that.
Marijuana legalization is extremely popular on the internet. The Prop 19 page is by far the most visited initiative page this year on Ballotpedia.org. On Facebook, the Yes on Prop 19 campaign now has 180,000 fans. That is a significantly larger number of followers than any California candidate, and orders of magnitude larger than any other ballot measure in the state."
