Maybe K-Lo got Prop 8 confused with a couple of other statewide initiative results, where common-sense marijuana law reform actually got more votes than Barack Obama. In Michigan, an initiative to legalize medical marijuana garnered 63% of the vote (receiving 134,241 more votes than Obama), while decriminalizing marijuana in Massachusetts received 65% of the state-wide vote, earning 48,422 more votes.
Interestingly, these initiatives that provide citizens with more freedom and personal responsibilty, performed much better statewide than Prop 8, which stripped citizens of freedom and personal responsibility. Now which initiatives are the conservative ones again?
