Usual Suspects Not Donating to Marijuana Initiative

Perhaps they're waiting until it's closer to November, perhaps not.

So far, the prop's author Richard Lee is the biggest donor, giving $1.5 million of the $1.9 raised through June. About $10 million will be needed to launch a widely seen TV campaign. The latest Field Poll found that Prop 19 would narrowly lose.
