I 100% support this bill. I personally suffer from severe back pain from years of hard work in the woods of No. Cali as a Logger. Marijuana allows me to be able function normaly. Another thing that i know is never talked about is the dangers of these huge illeagal groves out in the middle of nowere. I have found quite a few in my years logging and have even set of potentially deadly booby traps with my logging equipment. I very much believe that if it is made legal the danger to people out enjoying our forest, and the hard working men who already make a living doing one of the worlds most dangerous jobs already would be greatly reduced. Besides....with California pretty much phasing out any form of logging to appease the fuzzy lovin treehuggers....for one the loggers are gonna need to do something for their income. here come's the hemp toiletpaper. :)

It just makes sense. State makes money, saves money, and saves lives.

Randolph Hertz created the biggest hoax of all. Where has the love gone. Bring back the safety net and security of knowing the good it does to mentality.

It's about time. If something positive and good (i.e., legalization, taxation and regulation) isn't done soon, I'm afraid we'll see the Mexican Drug Cartels running the USA instead of the American People.

Come on California! Keep up the good work and vote yes on 390 and vote for politicians that support ENDING PROHIBITION!

I am sick of how slowly this legislation is moving- the floor is open for debate and no one is saying anything. None of our political leaders are taking a stance. I am tired of depending on my government to be my voice and I think its time we demand that this bill be taken out of the non-moving congress and into the hands of the people. Lets get this bill put onto our November ballot. Let's see what the people really want, because all that I've seen so far is a big group of people saying "Yes" and a big group of senators and assemblypersons saying nothing at all.

Weed is americas favorite and in my oppinion safest drug. Marajauna is good at curing diseases for example , breast cancer. Marajuana iss going to be a strong part of our economy whether the gov legalizes it or not, if they dont legalize it , oh well they missed out on a great finacial gain.

On AB390 in California.

CAN SOMEBODY BUILD A WEBSITE SHOWING EACH REPRESENTATIVE AND THEIR SUPPORT?

Sorry for the all caps. I keep seeing a thousand pages of forums saying the reasons it should be legal. I see hundreds of news columns talking about the existence of the bill. What I’m not seeing is a unified front, showing each representative BY NAME and whether they support or not. We should be spending our time and resources to annoy the living hell out of those individuals who are not going to support the bill. We need them to make public their intent to vote in support of the bill. We need a countdown to the deadline for their vote. If we can nail down the representatives and the deadlines we can push the support upwards to "The Governator.”

We need for these people to know that if they neglect their constituency in this matter it will affect their reelection. Threaten their jobs and get their attention. Show that the people support this bill and are organizing against their apathy. Politicians are rich and powerful and only act when they feel its politically safe to do so. Make enough noise so they can always point to the public after the vote and say they were made to vote they way they did, for the public. Make it known that they WILL vote, they WILL vote FOR the PEOPLE, or they WILL be unemployed.

WE NEED A WEBSITE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES NAMES, DISTRICTS, POSITIONS AND THE END OF THEIR TERMS. WE NEED PRETTY COLOR GRAPHICS SO EVEN IDIOTS, CHILDREN AND ANIMALS CAN SEE WHERE THIS BILL STANDS.

Make the system work. Yes there is a political law enforcement machine keeping Weed illegal. Machines break. What have you done to break the machine?

3rd generation federal officer. Tired of being forced to arrest innocent people who have no criminal history for a plant.. omg. And yet President Obama has given the cannabis consumers some chump change. Nothing on paper as of yet. Arrested an 18 year old young man last week for marijuana cultivation. This young man lost his scholarship to Harvard after receiving 1 year in federal prison, tuff luck for that kid and he was convicted for 3 marijuana plants he had been growing in his closet. Obama for change? or chump change?

I think this Bill will solve a lot of problems if it is passed. Including some of my own. On July 14, 2007 I was arrested under suspicion of selling Marijuana by the Carlsbad Police Department at my Mothers home in Encinitas. As an avid smoker of Cannabis I had become a minor salesman as almost most of my friends were at the time selling pot to only people that I knew from high school, unfortunately one of my friends was not very loyal and gave me up to save himself. I was caught with 7 grams of Cannabis by no less than 7 Police officers(my memory of this traumatic event is vague). When I was arrested the Detective on this case informed me that I had been followed for weeks prior to my arrest. I can't even imagine how much money it cost the state to make such a minor arrest. I was eventually charged with 11357a and 11357b both minor possession charges that would be removed from the state penal code by this bill.

I don't believe Marijuana is completely harmless, but when used responsibly it may be no more harmful than any alcoholic beverage. Why keep spending money prohibiting a substance that the majority of the state agrees should be legal. Especially when legalizing it could create and source of revenue for the state and significant savings in law enforcement and prison costs.

Marijuana should be legal. The drugs that are killing people i this nation are the legal ones, alcohol and tobacco, millions every year. Educated adults should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to use a medicinal herb that has stimulating effects or not. We can drink coffee, we can ingest ginseng, and countless other herbs that cause effects to the body, why is this plant any different.

Josh said

There is no reason why Marijuana should be illegal. Regulating it would help the economy amazingly.

Sadly, this bill won't be heard until JAN 2010, as first hearings are only scheduled in January and April. According to Ammiano's office, there was not enough time to prepare for the hearing. Personally this sounds suspect, like someone dropped the ball somewhere, or perhaps something more sinister.
