This woman is completely out of control! Does anybody know the source of her issue with MMJ? She is doubling down on failed drug policy at the same time that public (and legislative) support is moving away from the policy. I believe the sentencing "kicker" for crack was recently overturned. Recent polling shows increasing anti-prohibition support for both rec and MMJ, at the national level.

Is she that out of touch or has she been bought by special interests (DEA/LEO?)?

Diane has become nothing but a tool for LEO and the War on Drugs. I wonder if she is going to vote aye for Sen. Webb's Justice System Review Committee Bill? The proof will be in the pudding. Its for the kids bullshit lie again Diane ain't gonna cut it.

There seems to be no level if wilfull ignorance that our "elected representatives" will go to in order to damage society.

Anyone who's done ANY research knows that edible cannabis medicines are among the safest things to consume on the planet...and among those medicines taken orally, there is NOTHING safer!

Some days, you wonder how these politicians even have the intelligence to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom in the morning...they sure don't care to respect any form of common sense, scientific fact or rational thought process...why should they respect gravity?

Uh, oh...I may have just given one of those elected criminals an idea for another law to try to overturn...

I just sent a letter to my Illinois state senators! :)

I just sent this to the bitch... I hope she rots in hell with everyone else that will pass laws like this that affect sick patients.

"
Are you aware of how many sick people including myself and my wife eat cannabis laced edibles as we cannot smoke or vaporizer marijuana due to the health issues related with doing so? Your not doing anything to protect our children by trying to pass S. 258, all you are doing is hurting sick people and trying to put them in jail. You should be the one thrown in prison for taking away rights from sick patients. How can you sleep at night knowing that you are making life harder for people that are suffering , just to further your political career? If i were you id start running for the florida senate , cause in california your going nowhere with this anti medical marijuana stance. "

Yeah, I wrote Feinstein off years ago when I wrote to ask for her support in legalizing MJ420. She responded by lumping MJ in with narcotics, citing it as horribly dangeroo. WTF? FTS! She'll never get my vote again.

Matt from Boulder hit it right on the head. The growing support for an overall reform of the marijuana laws is clearly evident, if one cares to look. It is time to take the sick, dying and disabled who find relief from using cannabis off the battlefield on this so called "war on drugs". Perhaps if we legalized recreational marijuana, medical patients will finally be left to medicate freely and without fear of discrimination.

she is nothing more than a stupid bitch

Can anyone tell me what the penalties are right now for selling brownies laced, with sugar, fat, caffeine and salt?

Just asking...

I am not surprised in the least by this.

These people do not, I repeat, DO NOT, have the interests of the American people as a priority of theirs when proposing nonsense pieces of legislation like this.

California has and should continue to nullify useless and restrictive laws like this. If enough people resist this idiocy, then there will be no enforcement. Period. Like one intelligent man said on the issue of states asserting their rights over federal unconstitutional laws, "What are they going to do, send in the tanks"?

To hell with the busybody bureaucrats. This is not an autocracy. The peoples desire to be free will not be stifled.

This really pisses me off. Why don't I have a political party that I can support 100%? Why do the Democrats have to side with the prohibitionists?

And how ridiculous is it that she's trying to pass this law when *RECREATIONAL* marijuana is about to be legalized in her state?

LOL, dont those idiot lawmakers have anythign productive to do with their time??

I think these people cost more then they're worth and no longer represent any aspect of american life or the wishes of the people.

The lunatics have clearly taken over the asylum.

i do not believe this country.
when a little pot will help someone with cancer get an appetite and they won't let them, well this is just not american.

LEGALIZE IT, FOR ADULTS, AND TAX THE HELL OUT OF IT. AND LET THE SMOKERS BE.

It Makes me proud to be a Californian American when I read the comments on this story. I thought I was the only one who has these views.

The only reason she is so anti-MJ is because she is up for reelection in CA this year and needs some tough talking points to counter her conservative challengers. Its all politics - she doesn't give a damn about what half of her constituency thinks...

Why do people in government think they can do what they want, when they were put in power by the people to be the voice of the people. Well our voices are not being heard and we have the right to asked her to step down for not doing what the people of the state of california asked her to do "meaning support of our medical marijuana" in any shap or form as pertaining to smoking and or eating of Cannabis."the people are the ones that are supposed to hold the power not the palatishions.

we need more of the eye for and eye mentality
kind of like how cops have to get tazed before they can use tasers on people.
diane findwhateverstine should have to eat a pot brownie before making them illegal.
except for with meth thats stupid

People...please wake up. You can defeat this by simply not voting for senator Feinstein again in the next primary and voting for someone else.

Is that SO hard?

This is yet another attempt to demonize medicine that actually works, to maintain the war on drugs.

Big pharma cant have meds that dont make you sicker, its not profitable to actually heal people.

Marijuana in a browie or whatever form is the same thing.....it gets you high, it helps with medical conditions.

DO NOT tax it....what other medicine is taxed?

DO NOT pretend the government has the right to tell you what to do with your personal life, its none of their business if you smoke a plant or not.

If you ever get arrested never take the plea bargin. Refuse to apologize for a basic human right, being secure in your papers and your person.

If i want to smoke weed THERE IS NOTHING THE GOVT CAN DO TO STOP ME.

FUCK OFF BIG BROTHER!

So many millions to find a cure yet we cann't let the sick take care of themsleves. What a sad country when we have to fight over something most people in the govt. hide from doing or are still doing. As stated before make it legal, tax it , and fix the U.S........... you would save alot more time and money that way.

"Saving Kids from Dangerous Drugs Act"

A drug that has never killed a single person in the thousands of years of recorded usage is somehow "dangerous" ? How is this any different than the powered/crack cocaine sentencing disparity that just recently has been shot down? Yes, let's just increase the sentencing and put more people in jail. That will solve things! As if the federal deficit wasn't "HIGH" enough!!!! pffft... These politicians are all a joke. They do nothing but pander to their bureaucratic blood sucking allies.

Did you tell your government how you feel? They wont do it on there own. Let 'em know. Wave that flag

Diane Feinstein is a shill for big corporations. Here, she's shilling for big Pharma. I bet Pharma has a drug in the works that claims to help chemotherapy patients increase their hunger.

Feinstein has been pro-war from the beginning. Her husband is a war profiteer. She will stoop at *nothing* to make a few bucks.

She is a DINO because it appeals to the idiots in California. She would be a Republican in a heartbeat if it helped her get elected. She just looks out for herself and no one else.

I will be doing everything that I can to ensure this bill doesn't pass. As a medical marijuana patient myself, I very much value the benefits of edible medication. Its much healthier, more convenient, and often with stronger and longer acting results then inhaled medication.
Its absolutely disgusting the things that politicians will do in an attempt further their own personal gain.

What an evil cunt I'm not from cali but anyone who wants this nonsense to stop
PLEASE VOTE YES ON PROP 19

They can't catch big fish! So, they are aiming for small ones.

Was was it such a shock to see a democrat taking part of this bill? I think the people who are out of touch are the ones who believe the democrats will be leading the charge towards decriminalizing Marijuana. It makes me think of the who Environmental Protection Agency, and how Environmental Protection is deemed being the sole Advocacy of the democratic party. The truth is it was the Republicans who started the charge. Republican politicians such as Rand Paul, Chris Christy, and good ole gov. Schwarzenegger are fighting for legalization of marijuana, either being for medical or recreational use. There are going to be backstabbing villians, and sincere heros on both sides of the political lines and I feel that we need a bi-partisan alliance to fight prohibition on marijuana.
