Thank you. Yes, it's a regionalism with the connotation indicated.
Sharp lines were drawn. For example, the founder of the first (then unlawful under state law) dispensary -- and a kind of "father of the moment" was quite against Prop 19. He and the author of the proposition had a falling out and parted ways in a joint business activity.
Various growers were against it. They are already dealing with falling prices and the perception was that Prop 19 would greatly accelerate that. That kind of political sentiment easily "trickles down" through the various supply chains.
Within the industry the main monied supporters look like folks who expected to make a cool quick few million in retail trade.
Those are the lines of a feud. Hence, the regionalism of "Are ya fer it? Or again' it?" [traditionally stereotyped as a question that comes from someone pointing a shotgun at you while asking].
A fair number of casual users were looking forward to their 5x5 personal plots and/or safe and (state-level) legal dealing --- but others were scared away by the "no" campaign's characterization of the implications of Prop 19.
