The movement to legalise marijuana suffered a blow as a ballot proposition that would have allowed the growth, use and taxation of the drug in California was rejected by voters.
The loss of Proposition 19, though not unexpected, was still a disappointment to many of those who had fought and campaigned hard for a measure that had won a lot of support for a subject once considered politically taboo.
The movement was based in the Bay Area city of Oakland and spearheaded by Richard Lee, founder of Oaksterdam University, a cannabis business school that is flourishing around the already legal medical marijuana trade.
