Reason TV: Brian Doherty Explains The Failure of Prop 19 and What it Means for the Future of Pot Legalization

In the 2010 election, California voters rejected Proposition 19, which would have legalized the possession and sale of marijuana in the state.  

Reason Senior Editor Brian Doherty explains to Reason.tv why Prop. 19 lost, and says that despite electoral defeat, the proposition actually resulted in a number of victories for the legalization movement. Doherty also explains why he believes legalization is inevitable in the next four to six years.
