Appears to have no side for pro or con only making the comparison that in both cases the laws are unclear inconsistent and up for any type of interpretation.
This cartoon describes the battle with medical marijuana claims the laws are convoluted and confusing, also the laws proposed in prop 19 are just as confusing. An article by Daniel B. Wood describes where the confusion comes from, legal experts say California has the right to legalize recreational weed, however the federal CSA (controlled substances act) has the right to enforce against, US Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Obama administration would “vigorously enforce” federal drug laws against recreational use. Whether or not Prop 19 is confusing the conflicting interest between federal and state enforcement would be enough to discourage any one from buying taxed weed defeating the purpose of the proposition.

What “reality” is constructed/framed about de-criminalizing marijuana?
Legalizing marijuana will only contribute to America's obesity issues. According to nationmaster.com, the United States is already the most obese country in the world. Also, studies have shown that smoking marijuana increases an individuals want for food. Just compare Matthew Perry to when he was on pot....and when he was off of pot.
This cartoon argues that relaxing marijuana laws will only enable those who are already over relaxed and creating an epidemic of obesity created from our already serious obesity issue. I could not find any creditable supporting evidence that this is not true there are many article showing research that marijuana does cause “munchies” by triggering a receptor in your brain that is supposed to trigger during times of famine, not only does your desire to eat increase but your body will store fat for a famine scenario.

What “reality” is constructed/framed about de-criminalizing marijuana?
It is another cartoon showing marijuana makes people forget whatever they are supposed to do. It looks as if nothing is more important to marijuana users than to sit on a couch watching TV and eating chips. Also, it
conveys the "reality" that pot users are not responsible.
The population of California is nearly 40,000,000 75% are of voting age 27,721,248 during presidential elections only half of those able actually vote, estimated 13,860,624 for a presidential election, the turn out for the vote on prop 19-27 had a turnout of 4,643,592 for and 5,333,230 against total of 9,976,822 just barley shy of 10 million taking the population who voted on prop 19 comparing that against the population of age I found 3,880,974 voters did not vote where they all at home high on marijuana? Highly unlikely, votes needed for prop 19 to tie would have only been 689,638 where there less than ¾ of a million at home getting high during the election? Very possible, could the results have been different had more recreational pot smokers voted as depicted in this cartoon? Perhaps, but there has been no research study to prove the theory.

The reality is that the process to get drugs is very dangerous. I think this cartoon would be very supportive of legalizing marijuana because it would eliminate the illegal activity that it currently needs to supply the drug.

What “reality” is constructed/framed about de-criminalizing marijuana?
This cartoon is making reference to Oregon’s CSA (community supported agriculture) program there is no supporting evidence that such an event took place this cartoon is likely taking a satire approach to the possibility that marijuana laws will be loosens so has gone to the other side of the playing field by saying heck why don’t we just open this up to the CSA and start getting this in bulk!
the last frame quotes the city official saying the program “supports local farmers , said a smiling city official with bloodshot eyes. You got any snacks?” this last frame frames the reality that the city officials are not interested in the farmers as much as they are for their own purposes, based on published evidence from salem-news.com and oregoncommentator.com the city and council member are very pro weed last year declaring a week to the observing of medicinal marijuana and having 25,000 citizens holding medicinal marijuana prescriptions.
