I was surprised it did not pass, but after reading a little more into prop 19 I can see why people voted against it.
Your second part of your comment is a big reason why it did not pass. There was extensive wording in the bill that attempted to make it very hard for employers to discipline workers who use marijuana and give users a number of workplace rights regarding use. The bill only gave a little power to employers if marijuana use "actually impairs job performance." One could just imagine the court cases that would come from this wording.
Another big reason is that this activity would still be a federal crime. How much could the state really tax out in the open? This negates the argument that it would be a boon to the states tax revenue coffers.
People are going to have to go after the self-haters in Washington D.C. if they ever want true legalization of MJ.
as a employer myself. I am entitled to a drug free workplace, I am not entitled to druge free workforces. thats the kist of it. What people do when they leave my bussiness is none of my bussiness. If on the job performance drops or mistakes are made. I fucking fire them regardless of what the underlying issues is.
Flatly this is a non issue for everyone but insurance companies. fuck insurance companies.
