closely resemble a giant bong. >> this is part one of the experience. and part two of it right there. >> reporter: thousands of people came here to celebrate medicinal marijuana. >> i am not so much worried about the recreational aspect of it. more concerned about the patients who really need it to get some relief. >> reporter: but now a new ktvu field poll shows that proposition 19 which will fully legalize marijuana is likely to pass in november with 49% supporting it and 42% opposed. >> big differences by age. younger voters much more supportive than older voters. >> reporter: but surprisingly at this mind altering event we talked to more who oppose proposition 19 than support it. >> since i read the proposition and sat down and read it i don't feel very good about it. there are still some things that need to be worked out. >> i think in the end it is bad for the grower and bad for the patient as well. it should be kept medical until we know how to properly regulate it. >> bishop ron allan from the international faith based coalition came to argue against

the measure. >> we clearly understand that addiction will take a tremendous upswing among our youth. >> reporter: the california police chief's association is using similar arguments. >> marijuana is a mind altering drug. so it does things to people. and more people are going to smoke it if proposition 19 passes. that means more people will be driving. more people will be under the influence. >> reporter: despite a lot of opposition here to proposition 19, there is plenty of support for marijuana legalization. >> prohibition didn't work. you sell a far more dangerous drug in bars on every corner in this town and every other town. >> reporter: will california legalize this product? the field poll says it all depends on voter turnout. at the cal palace, i'm john sasaki, ktvu, channel 2 news. and late today ktvu spoke with dennis poron who helped author proposition 19 which passed in 1996 allowing californians to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. surprisingly he said he is against proposition 19 but

the need for help say fundraiser organizers holly and jennifer. >> the out pouring of love that everyone has contributed to this event and everyone showing up. the families and everyone wants to be here and be a part of it. >> reporter: they had scheduled a fundraiser for today supporting brain cancer research. jennifer's mother died of the disease. but those plans changed. >> and then the explosion happened. and we decided we needed to rally together. >> reporter: they say in such a small community many people have ties to the devastated neighborhood either direct or through friends. >> you know, my house was up there that i grew up in for 20 years. those are all of my neighbors. those are my people. >> reporter: all of the money raised at the day-long event will be given to the sanbruno fire victims to help them rebuild. >> you know, the pain is still there. i mean, the fact that there are still a lot of individuals are just still sorting through their lives. >> reporter: state senator ye has attended the fundraiser and

has asked for state home exemption for homeowners who lost their homes in the fire. >> i feel particularly bad for those individuals that are kind of right in the middle. didn't lose their home totally but not green tagged. so they are sort of in that never-never land should i rebuild or not? should i tear it down? >> reporter: and the women behind this event says it is more than just a fundraiser. also a reminder that the pain and recovery of the explosion will last a long time. >> people still need help. they still need help. >> reporter: just as the organizers say more help will be needed and that process will go on, so will the cleanup effort here in this neighborhood. the county has set a goal of mid-october to complete the work. in sanbruno, ken pritchett, ktvu, channel 2 news. six people safely escaped a fire that destroyed a home in san jose. flames broke out around midnight in a victoria january house at 1475 newport avenue. it took more than six hours for firefighters to control the three alarm fire. by then, the house was gutted.

unhealthy foods that lead to childhood obesity. but restaurants say deciding what children should eat should be up to their parents. >> the latest battleground in the effort to contain the spreading grapevine moths. three of the pests were reportedly discovered in south county vineyards. grape growers in a 93 square mile area are now under new restrictions requiring them to more thoroughly clean their crops while wineries receiving grapes from the area have just two hours to crush them. the vine eating moths were first discovered in napa a year ago and have spread to several bay area counties. with just five weeks now to go, a new poll indicates democrats jerry brown and barbara boxer are slightly ahead in their races for california governor and u.s. senate. the la times, the university of southern california poll was released today. and it just 46% of likely voters support brown, while 41% back republican meg whitman.

tell you this, you know what, it's people who raise their voices and yell and scream like you that are dividing this country. we're here to bring this country together. not divide it. >> how does all of this anger between voters and politicians translate really into the vote this november? >> well, i think it's going to play out very well for the republican party. poll after poll shows that republican voters are animated and excited and ready to get out. largely because they are angry about what's going on in washington, d.c. the mid-term elections are really their opportunity to change the direction of the country. >> reporter: analysts say the equation is pretty simple. angry voters turn out at the polls. reid wilson says this year the republicans, the angryiest seem to be mobilizing democratic voters just like they did in 2006 and 2008. brian todd, washington. still talking peace in the middle east. but it didn't look like it today. the critical deadline tomorrow that could make or break the peace talks.

shelf in safeway. only from specialized sellers that have a permit to sell this only to adults 21 and over or perhaps a dispensary for medical use. >> reporter: ice creams are typically homemade by other customers. the packaging is often crude at best leaving users to determine the dosage through trial and error. supporters of proposition 19 say regulating pot would help ensure labels are accurate, cooking conditions sanitary and edibles safe. >> cannabis cannot kill you. however, some bad eggs can make you sick. that's why it's so vital that we have the health department's involvement in cooking with any type of cannabis. >> reporter: but law enforcement officials point out there would be no fda approval of edibles. even if californians pass proposition 19, marijuana is still illegal in the eyes of the federal government which has no appetite for cannabis ice cream or any other pot product. and they are expected to challenge the measure if voters approve it. claudia cowan, fox news. a bill requiring helmets

monday. that means temperatures for the beaches could be the lower 80s. the interior spots topping out rights around 100, 102 degrees. we will cool things off beginning tuesday. still some hot temperatures for the interior. and then by wednesday and thursday the heat wave is long gone. in fact, by thursday the fog is back in full force. those temperatures are cooling off once again. so at least today you definitely will notice that the big boost in temperatures. some relief tomorrow coastside but monday will be the day to prepare for the hot temperatures. >> the shorts and flip flops out there. it was nice. >> that's a good plan at least for tomorrow as well. >> thanks, mark. >> thanks, mark. >> thousands of pad letters from across the country have descended on treasurer island for one of the largest events of its kind. >> the competition was fears today at the annual san francisco international dragon boat races. organizers say it is the biggest dragon boat race and festival in the united states.

to help soften up the field and the balls. but now they are complaining and saying they are no longer having juiced balls. in the third inning andres torres who had an ependectomy hits it. and the pride and joy of sunnyvale takes the 15th homerun of the month. ross replaces torres in center- field gal down go boom. a triple and 32 hits and 19 runs in this game. but ross gets his revenge in the 6th. commander cody takes this one deep. a three run homerun to give the giants a lead. but things are just starting to get interesting. 9-7 in the 8th inning. brian wilson gives out a two run double to troy. it is tied again at 9. so let's go to the 10th inning where we see the very same matchup.

wilson a shot passed the shortstop. pat burrow is in left field. he is a train wreck there. carlos gonzalez races all the way from first base to score the game winner. 10-9 rockies knock the giants out of first place just like that. rockies also snapped the giants' 18 game streak of allowing three or fewer runs. giants play their final regular season road game tomorrow. juiced baseballs or no juiced baseballs. well, earlier today in san diego the padres and reds tied in the bottom of the 9th two out 3-3. and chaplain faces denorfia. that goes right into the glove of the third baseman. and races all the way home. padres beat the reds 4-3. san diego's 11 walkoff victory of the year. so that means san diego re- takes the lead by one-half game over the giants in the west. san francisco has just seven games left to play.

rockies still back in this race now three and a half games behind. for a while today it looked like oakland would appropriate texas from pouring champagne. but the rangers are right now in full party mode. rangers could reach the playoffs today and officially eliminate oakland from post- season consideration. but as cliff pennington belts his two run homerun and he ties the game 3-3 in the 7th inning. texas puts it away from cantu homerun for the first time since being traded to texas back in july. rangers win 4-3. what a sweet moment for manager ron washington. because despite some personal issues this year, washington leads texas to the post season for the first time since 1999. washington you remember spent 11 years in oakland as a coach. interviewed for the as managerial job that went to bob guerin. oakland will miss the post season for the straight fourth year. >> andrew luck may be the best quarterback but he was upstaged by one of his teammates today
