Feinstein denounces Prop. 19 as 'dangerous experiment' [CA]

Feinstein denounces Prop. 19 as 'dangerous experiment'
October 30, 2010 - LATimes


Arriving at a rally, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says “the last thing we need to do is make it easier for drug dealers to increase their consumer base by pushing pot on young people.” (Lucy Nicholson, Reuters / October 28, 2010)

Opponents of Proposition 19, arrayed in front of the Glendale Police Department, denounced the marijuana legalization measure Friday, charging it would lead to more stoned Californians and make schools, businesses and roads less safe.

"Proposition 19 is a dangerous experiment based on false arguments and fake promises," said U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), co-chairwoman of the opposition campaign who headlined the event.

Feinstein, who also opposed the 1996 initiative that allowed marijuana to be used for medical reasons, said passing Proposition 19 would tell California's children there is nothing wrong with smoking marijuana.

"The last thing we need to do is make it easier for drug dealers to increase their consumer base by pushing pot on young people," she said. "Buying and consuming marijuana, in my view, is already too easy."

The Proposition 19 campaign did not have any official events, but Stephen Downing, a former deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, and Hanna Leibman Dershowitz, a lawyer who has been speaking for mothers who oppose pot prohibition, crashed the news conference.

"This is scare tactics, same old song," Dershowitz said. "Marijuana is about as available in California as one could imagine it could possibly be, and I don't see that parade of horribles."

Proposition 19 would make it legal under state law for adults 21 and older to grow and possess marijuana, and would allow cities and counties to approve commercial cultivation and retail sales.

The Drug Policy Alliance, flush with money after a $1-million donation from multibillionaire investor George Soros, unveiled a final advertising blitz Friday aimed at boosting turnout among young voters — who overwhelmingly support legalization — and swaying undecided ones. Ads will run on radio and television, in the Los Angeles Times and on Google and Facebook.

The opposition campaign has substantially less money to spend, but has received a boost from the California Chamber of Commerce. The No on 19 campaign and the chamber are both running radio ads throughout the state.

Feinstein was joined by Glendale's mayor, two police chiefs and representatives from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and the Assn. of California School Administrators.

Can't they find a better argument then "protect the children" acting like all the children in the world don't have parents

<<Can't they find a better argument then "protect the children" acting like all the children in the world don't have parents>>

NO! Because the US Gov not only wants to monstrously brain fuck (and every other orifice) you and your kids to see what they can squeeze out, they want you continuously in the habitrail before using what's left as scrap to sell the chinese!
:lol:

I thought most people saw Feinstein as a dumbass hollow harping "Today's Anita Bryant" type anyway? I thought even the rubberheads were grossed out on her by now?
Must be worse out there than I thought...

edit: She sure is a campaigner for the Republican party though...

Umm.... isn't that a reason why we want it to be legal? So it's not in the hands of drug dealers? :wow:

If she calls Prop 19 a 'dangerous experiment', what would she call prohibition?  It can't get any worse than it already is.
