VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - California's apparently not as laid back as many think.
Voters in the state rejected Proposition 19 - the proposal to legalize marijuana.

The final numbers are not yet in but exit polls show the proposal going up in smoke with 57 percent against it.

Vancouver's Jodie Emery, wife of the so-called "Prince of Pot" Marc Emery was in California ahead of the vote to add support.

Pro-legalization forces have vowed to roll on across the state.
