Feinstein is one of the most authoritarian senators, so this is sad, but not surprising.

The good people of California have the chance to elect a real progressive to replace her.

Thank God, for the democrats that stand up as against the libertarian orthodoxy. Pot does not need to be legalized, nor should it, this is essentially so some college kids can do whatever the f*k they want, and be stoners.

And have no effect on you whatsoever.

Its also so millions of non-violent people who are only doing harm to themselves aren't considered criminals anymore. But that's way less important than being able to do whatever the f**k people want.

I don't see how legislation helps, you can just make a law, that people who smoke pot cannot be placed in jail. This just allows marijuana dealers to thrive and ruin more people's lives.

Oh, really?  Like the lives of so many Coloradans have been "ruined" by those nasty marijuana shops? Roll Eyes

You are the worst bootlicker, you know?

The status quo on Marijuana is intolerable and there ought to be some kind of legalization, but the outrage on this thread is excessive.

     We don't agree on much, but I must concur with this. She's one member of the Senate, who isn't going to have much input on the legalization of marijuana. It's just not a big deal that she came out against pot.

Feinstein's not just wrong on marijuana, though.  And who cares if she's one member of the Senate?  The drug warrior, police-worshipping mentality of this country ought to be challenged.

That can be solved by decriminalization though, not necessarily legalization.

I'd vote yes on legalization if it was on the ballot, but I really couldn't care less either way. Decriminalization is the much higher priority in my mind.

But marijuana is already decriminalized in California, in order to deflate support at the last referendum a law was passed which makes it not punishable by anything but a citation and fine and a speeding ticket would likely give a bigger fine. Full legalization is the only step further you can take.

People are generally almost never arrested solely for marijuana charges. Well, they used to. But not anymore. A pretty miniscule amount of people in jails are there only for marijuana. Typically, it's used the same way guns are. Ie, feds catch a guy dealing crack and then prosecutor piles on marijuana charges too.

According to the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), all drug-related charges have dropped by 23% on a judicial district level in Colorado since legalization.
