HOT OVER POT STANCE

Re "Feinstein adamantly against pot," Jan. 14

I am a Democrat who's been looking for an excuse to cast my vote for 
anyone but Feinstein. Her quaint stand for harsh penalties for pot 
use gives me the excuse I was looking for.

Legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana use is the next logical step 
to alleviate prison overcrowding. It seems to me that the only 
politicians against the idea of leniency for marijuana users are 
either reactionary conservatives or are in the pockets of the private 
prison industry.

Hopefully intelligence prevails and people like Feinstein are not 
considered relevant in this argument.
