I think I shit my pants... like almost, I farted so hard. I can't believe this shit! Its time to pre-celebrate.
If California wins, we all win. There is no way the rest of the country will just sit back and deal with these unjust lalws. I really think this is going to pass.
I don't see why this bill should not pass. Legalizing cannabis only has positive benefits, anybody who is against it is just completely ignorant.
They might be completely ignorant but they have the power to vote against this bill. The biggest problem is we can't hold them any standard of logic or truthfulness. For example yesterday in proceedings Senator Cardinale said "There are many medical studies which unequivocally prove that marijuana causes brain cells to die. No one can dispute that. They don't come back when they die." This is completely untrue! Marijuana doesn't kill brain cells. But what are we to do about it? There is NO process to force him to prove his claims or to publicly apologize when he's proved wrong.

This is actually what makes this so wrong. Politicians, the same people that are elected to do what WE want done, not what they personally believe in (although that is what they run on), don't listen to the people, or use factual evidence. I guess the best we can do is to just keep harassing them with emails of support for this eh?
Have your 21 year old friend buy you some. Just like alcohol. Its going to be everywhere in Cali if its legalized.
Email Ammiano and tell him to release a comprehensive response to the misguided senator's comments. Make this painfully easy for him too, gather up all the info he needs. That's my idea.
For anyone who wants to email Tom Ammiano and show your support you can do so here: http://democrats.assembly.ca.gov/members/a13/
amsterdamage, i think we need to organize a list of representatives in order to email them in mass to show the support for this bill. whether you are from ca or not, it's fairly simple to find a real address in their district
This is great news! I'm exited for the people in Cali!...I may have missed something, but if passed. When would this go into affect?
