Abstract
Most probably influenced by media images of smash-and-grab robberies, almost 10 million California voters (68.6%), by voting “Yes” for Proposition 36, decided that these crimes should be addressed. Unfortunately, once again drug use and users were joined to these crimes, and the result is a rollback of some of the progressive drug policies of recent years.
