Pelosi supports California’s legal marijuana initiative

Posted by | November 4, 2016 20:00 | Filed under: Politics


It’s about time major political leaders rallied around this issue.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Friday told the Los Angeles Times she will vote yes on California’s Proposition 64, the state’s recreational marijuana measure expected to pass next Tuesday.

“I will vote for it, but I have not made a public statement about it until right this very second,” Pelosi said.

The list of politicians who publicly support legalization expanded in recent years, but the house minority leader has long-supported sensible drug policies. In 2005, she co-sponsored the States’ Rights to Medical Marijuana Act, calling it “the compassionate way to go”:

        Whoa, when I partake in adult time, I like to chill. That song does not give me that kind of vibe lol.

          Maybe I roll a bit faster…but I like the harmonies and the interaction (even if Steve Martin wasn’t there for the main recording…look at the edits)

            I watched the video and I seen Steve Martin, this was an edited recording? Please don’t think that I don’t like the music, it has a good beat, but just not when I am in the mood to relax.

        Sweet.
        (Also was surprised by Paul Shaffer and Steve Martin being there… I had no idea they were a part of that band!)

        That’s some good outdoors, pass-the-joint, dancin music. :)

    Not a ‘hot button’ for me but I have seen a lot of states introduced much worse

    Speaker Pelosi votes aye on California’s number one cash crop as well as national legalization. Stocking the Svalbard Global Seed Vault just in case. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7b68775039e08fadc2eeb8d0c078921eab78d3544df9cefb7175c6238db2c8e7.jpg
