I get your point. I'm saying no segment of the MJ/MMJ market was strong enough in LA County to swing the election. The pushback from rank-and-file residents against the dispensaries was in the front sections of the LA Times for months. The growers were not part of the discussion. It's true that there are multiple constituencies in the MJ/MMJ community (patients, recreational users, growers of all kinds, licensed dispensaries, unlicensed, street gangs, cartels) and that Prop. 19 split them. Perhaps a different Prop. might have made the MJ community slide definitively to one side or the other, but that's a different question. The neighborhood where I live was affected by this, and one of the lightning rods was a friend (interviewed in the LA Times several times), as were some people on the other side. That makes me consider myself well-informed, but who knows, maybe I'm biased. ;-)
