California mothers speak out for Prop 19 and marijuana legalization.

With a group of mothers around her, attorney Hanna Liebman Dershowitz uttered some words likely not yet heard in this wild election season: Legal marijuana is "safer for our children."

“When I think of what type of world I want my children to grow up in, they grow up in a world with marijuana legal and controlled and not this out-of-control system that we have today," the mother of two said Tuesday in West Hollywood at a press conference aimed to inspire people to vote for Proposition 19. "So it might be counterintuitive, but legalizing marijuana would be safer for our children."

Meg Whitman's claim that all law enforcement agents oppose the initiative is just not true. Here's a list of those who support Prop. 19.

Say Yes on 19. More at Just Say Now.

Back in the day it was a real chore to find somebody over 21, or with a good fake, to buy booze for ya, getting reefer was a walk in the park in comparison. It's also baffled me how the "for the kids" drug war supporters can't grasp that truth.

And as far too many mothers know, the biggest problem moderate & responsible marijuana use causes their children is potentially breaking out in handcuffs and/or legal trouble.

he was against Prop 13 but was able to work with it once it was passed into law.

I expect the same thing when Prop 19 passes and he is elected governor again.

Have you been getting the same unseasonal rains up there in the San Joaquin Valley as we've been getting down here in SoCal?
