AB 390 Hearing Postponed

So, I've been looking around all day for information on the AB 390 hearing that was supposed to go down this afternoon. Doh!

I guess I missed this last week

In California, next Tuesday’s scheduled hearing before the Public Safety Committee on Assembly Bill 390: The Marijuana Control, Regulation and Education Act, has been postponed. However, this is a good news! Members of the Committee on Public Safety and Health were anticipated to vote on AB 390 immediately following next week’s hearing. While it is impossible to know how the Committee would have voted, all early indications were that several powerful members of the Committee were expected to oppose the bill. We now have additional time to lobby the Public Safety Committee and the Assembly to support AB 390, which you can do here and here.

You can also contact the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Health directly either through email or phone.

The War on Drugs has done nothing to prevent Marijuana use. Every year, there is only more marijuana, and better marijuana, and more people put in prison, and more money spent prosecuting & housing those prisoners, and even more money spent trying to fight the whole thing.

What a waste.

Call these legislators and ask them to support AB 390.
