California voters said no thanks to a ballot initiative that would have become the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use and sales.

The bill also authorized local governments to allow the cultivation of marijuana and commercial sale.
Advocates launched the measure as a revenue source and a sensitive experiment to reduce marijuana-related arrests and crime.
