There are other flat-out legalization initiatives? Where?
I'm aware of numerous "for medical use" initiatives which have passed, which of course we all know is de facto legalization ("Hey, doc, my, uh, eyes, uh, hurt a lot." "Oh, well, there's only one cure for that. Here, have a scrip.") But who else has done flat-out no jokes legalization yet?
I'm not trying to ask a gotcha; I'm open to the possibility I haven't heard of them. It's an honest question.

California isn't the first state to have such an initiative on the ballot, so I don't see how this is an interesting new phenomenon.
And for the record, I didn't flag this. I'm just playing devil's advocate.
