"I will vote for it, but I have not made a public statement about it until right this very second," Pelosi told the Los Angeles Times , declining to elaborate further. California's Proposition 64 is one of 17 such questions the state's voters face in this election. If the proposition passes, people 21 and older would be legally allowed to have and consume marijuana. Pelosi's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
