Facebook co-founder Sean Parker has donated $100,000 to California's Prop 19 ballot measure to legalize marijuana, and he's not the only one -- fellow co-founder Dustin Moskovitz has made two donations totalling $70,000 as well.
Stephen Gutwillig, a spokesman for the Drug Policy Alliance, said in a statement, "What's interesting here is that (Parker) is a member of the generation that really gets it. We think he's pivotal to the future of drug policy reform in the country."
Though Parker and Moskovitz still have ownership stakes in Facebook, they are no longer working with the website. This announcement comes on the heels of the box office success of The Social Network, which has made Parker, Moskovitz and founder Mark Zuckerberg household names over the past few weeks.
