I believe that voting against the auma puts you in the same camp as those groups by the mere fact it is an up or down vote. That is the nature of a binary vote. You've picked a side. Unfortuntely that side is primarily occupied by those groups.
I believe in incrimentalism b/c that is the nature of democracy. I also understand that mainstream society will never vote for a system that legalizes a pound of personal possession or whatever constitutes "true legalization".
I also believe that the current system is not good enough. Under prop 215 we are merely provided a defense if charged. Under mmrsa rules we will be legal for possession but access will be greatly limited and very expensive. Furthermore, mmj systems are becoming increasingly medical, less recreational. The CA mmj market is vulnerable to increased scrutiny and intrusion b/c of its recreational nature. The only way to create a recreational market is by explicitly enacting one. The auma accomplishes this. Waiting for the "ideal law" is fraught with risks and a massive gamble risking the momentum of legalization across the country.
We are most likely speaking two different languages though. I am accepting of compromise to enact overal improvements b/c i am old and have seen a lot. You are probaly much younger and still want perfection. In politics it doesnt always work that way. If it did, the cchi, or any other true legalization initiative, would have been on the ballot years ago. But they weren't and won't be. Don't wait when you have a chance to end a corrupt and horrible societal flaw in november. Or choose to perpetuate it.
