While Measure 80 didn\u2019t pass, it did garner a very respectable 47% of the vote with very little campaign cash. Measure 80 was a bit too lax for voters and for national funders, however it gave a great foundation for Measure 91, which put in place limits regarding home cultivation and possession. (It turns out that 47% of Oregon voters would vote for unlimited plants and ounces, while 56% would vote for 4 plants and 8 ounces per household.)<\/p>\n<p>After just losing at the ballot box by just 3%, Mr. Stanford worked to place another ballot on the measure in 2014 while I was chief petitioner and director of the New Approach Oregon effort. During the signature-gathering phase in 2013 and into 2014, the media would often try to get me to say inflammatory things about Paul and I imagine that they did the same to him. We never took the bait and I would always state that I will always vote for any measure that is better than the status quo of prohibition.<\/p>\n<p>Very much to his credit, <a href=\"http:\/\/hemp.org\/news\/content\/yes-oregon-measure-91\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Stanford, fully endorsed Measure 91<\/a> and worked with us to remind his supporters that he was urging them to Vote Yes on 91. If Paul, or any other prominent activist worked to oppose Measure 91, we certainly wouldn\u2019t have gotten 56% of the vote, and who knows what the impact would have been. Many people are responsible for legalizing marijuana in Oregon, and Paul Stanford deserves a\u00a0ton of credit. Not only has he done a lot for the cause and community, but he kept the cause first and foremost to help pass Measure 91.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article here;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/marijuanapolitics.com\/will-napster-co-founder-lead-californias-legalization-effort\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/marijuanapolitics.com\/will-napster-co-founder-lead-californias-legalization-effort\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a really great article written by Anthony Johnson talking about California\u2019s effort to legalize marijuana and if Sean Parker, the founder of Napster will be playing a pivotal role.\u00a0 Anthony gives Paul Stanford a major shout out; \u201cPaul Stanford did the Measure 91 campaign and the entire Oregon cannabis community a great service <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/paul-stanford.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/08\/october-8th-2015-marijuanapolitics-com-will-napster-co-founder-lead-californias-legalization-effort\/\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>October 8th, 2015 \u2013 MarijuanaPolitics.com: Will Napster Co-founder Lead California\u2019s Legalization Effort?
