At first glance it seems to be an irreconcilable difference. How could they be high enough to give Mr Brown another chance, but pass on legalizing pot?
I think I figured it out.
Currently, marijuana is illegal. That means a purchaser doesn't pay tax on the purchase. Also, a producer (grower) of marijuana is not taxed on any profits made from the sale.
The pot-smokers don't want the state to take over and tax them for their choice to smoke pot. They'd rather risk the free market pricing they currently have. They don't want Mr Brown to tax their pot.

Plus if it would have passed it would have moved forward into the other states.
Cause the way CA. goes so goes America...
Relieving the LEO's to do normal police work with little problems from the decreasing of gangs that traffic the drug.
