Backwards, disgusting and indefensible
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic former mayor of San Francisco, will co-chair the campaign to defeat Proposition 19, the marijuana legalization initiative on the ballot in November, according to a press release today.
Her co-chair will be L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca. This is a huge win for the opposition. Feinstein's already voiced opposition, but she seems to be really putting some force behind it with this move.
This is simply inexcusable.
This is the 21st Century.
The facts about marijuana are nailed down, not that facts matter.
This is sheer stupidity and utter assholiness.
"California will not see a single positive result if Proposition 19 passes," said Senator Feinstein. "It is a poorly constructed initiative that will cause harm to Californians on our roadways, and in our schools, workplaces and communities. I look forward to working with Sheriff Baca to ensure we defeat Proposition 19 in November."
None of that is true and all of itreflects a mind that has listened only to propaganda and would not know a cannabis fact if it bit her on the face.
Feinstein clearly knows nothing about the issue and is simply being AN OLD FART in this stupid opposition to progress.
There is no defensible reason to keep marijuana/cannabis/hemp - it's all the same thing - illegal.
None.
Opposition to reform is wrong and stupid - perhaps this is why Dianne Feinstein feels an affinity to this.
