Californians who plan to cast ballots are turning against Proposition 19, the measure to legalize marijuana, according to the Field Poll, which found likely voters were opposed to it, 49% to 42%.

That’s a reversal from last month, when the poll found likely voters favored it. Among those polled, 9% are still undecided, a figure that has been relatively unchanged for months.

California cities and counties could conceivably issue clouds of bonds backed by more than $1 billion a year in marijuana-related tax revenue if Proposition 19 passes Tuesday, transforming a decades-old pipe dream into reality.

Prop. 19 would legalize marijuana under California law, but not federal law, permitting local governments to tax commercial production, distribution and sale of the drug in the Golden State and allowing anyone over 21 to grow, sell and smoke pot. The option comes at a time when California is beset by funding shortfalls.

Alcohol is a more dangerous drug than heroin or crack cocaine, a study claims.

Scientists have found that alcohol is the most harmful drug overall and three times as harmful as cocaine and tobacco, according to a new scale of drug harm that rates the damage to both users and to wider society.

Ecstasy is only an eighth as harmful as alcohol, according to the new analysis, led by the controversial sacked government drugs adviser David Nutt with colleagues from the breakaway Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs.
