DRUGS SUCH AS HEROIN LSD-
PERPETUITY AND- ALL. THE OTHER
HORRIBLE COULD ON FIT A MEANS

DISCUSS SENATOR HERTZBERG.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT THE
VOTERS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. ON MORE THAN ONE
OCCASION HAVE OFFERED THEIR
OPINION WITH RESPECT TO
SCHEDULE MARIJUANA AS A
SCHEDULE ONE DRUG. THE VOTERS
HAVE DECIDED THAT FOR PURPOSES
OF STATE A CALIFORNIA MARIJUANA
IS LEGAL. BUT THERE IS A
MECHANICAL PROBLEM AS IT
RELATES TO. THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WE HERE TRY TO
PROTECT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY THE
ASSISTANT MAJORITY LEADER TELLS
ME STORIES OF TWO BILLION
DOLLARS BURIED IN BARRELS AND
COMMUNITIES THAT HE REPRESENTS.
WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF STORIES
READ OUR NEWSPAPERS AS THE
AWFUL BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA
ARE TRYING TO ENGAGE IN THEIR
RESPECTIVE ACTIVITY AND YET
BECAUSE- OUR MARIJUANA REMAINS
A SCHEDULE ONE DRUG THE FEDERAL
BANKING SYSTEM CANNOT TAKE THAT
MONEY. AND WE HAVE A VERY
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IN THAT
REGARD ALSO WITH RESPECT TO
COLLECTING TAXES AND HAVING
EXTRA COSTS THAT ARE
EXTRAORDINARY TO THE GOVERNMENT
IN PROVIDING SECURITY AND C. H.
P. TAKE A AT PROVIDING THE
ESCORT SERVICES TO PROVIDE CASH
TO GO TO THE BANK SIX GREATEST
SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT PROBLEM
ONE OF THE ONE HAND THE VOTERS.
CITY CAL WE HAVE MADE TERMINATE
THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THIS
LAWFUL AND LEGAL AND THERE EYES
THE GENERAL IS IN FOR WOULD
WITH THE UP. TO PROVIDING
PUBLIC SAFETY I STAND HERE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THE

INDUSTRY THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR THANK YOU MADAM CENTER

BY GOOD FRIENDS ANGELES I
CERTAINLY. AND AGREE WITH YOU
THAT WE SHOULD REMOVE MARIJUANA
FROM SCHEDULE ONE I JUST WANT
TO CLARIFY THAT THE RESOLUTION
IS JUST AS WE SAID REMOVE FROM
THE SCHEDULES WE'RE JUST
CALLING FOR REMOVING IT FROM
SCHEDULE ONE EIGHT BECAUSE
AFTER ALL THERE'S MANY OTHER
THEIR SCHEDULE TWO THREE FOUR.

DEBATE AS TO WHERE WHICH NUMBER
SHOULD HAVE BUT IT SHOULD BE
JUST BUT PARTICULARLY THIS
RESOLUTION IS FOCUSED ON
REMOVING IT FROM SCHEDULE ONE
WHICH I AGREE WITH YOU IS AN
APPROPRIATE. YES I OVER
FOCUSING ON SCHEDULE ONE BUT IF
YOU WANNA ASK MY PERSONAL
OPINION IS SHOULD BE REMOVED.

FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION.
CENTER BRADFORD WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE ON THE ITEM YES THANK
YOU MADAM PRESIDENT THANK YOU
MEMBERS IN THANK YOU MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SACRAMENTO FOR
THAT QUESTION- I. IF WE KNOW
HISTORICALLY. THE ONLY REASON
CANNABIS WAS EVER ADDED TO
SCHEDULE ONE IN THE LATE
THIRTIES EARLY FORTIES WAS FOR
THE CRIMINALIZATION OF BLACK
AND BROWN PEOPLE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA I MEAN IN THIS
NATION. THERE WAS NO RUN ON OF
ABUSE OF CANNABIS WE HEARD OF
NO STORIES BUT WE UNDERSTOOD IT
GAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT EXTRA TO
CRIMINALIZE. BLACKAND BROWN
PEOPLE IN THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE
WHO WERE CONVICTED OF IT WORK
WHAT BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY SO THIS IS A
COMMON SENSE MEASURE. CANNABIS
IS A PLANT. AND THEN RE FOR WAS
EXPERIMENTING WITH HEMP AND
CANNABIS AS ALTERNATIVE FUELS

MITCHELL SENATOR SKINNER. THANK
YOU MADAM PRESIDENT I MEMBERS-
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS

TO THE COMMENTS SO FAR WAS
SITTING THERE THINKING TO
MYSELF. I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M I'M
NINETY. BECAUSE I HAVE CONTINUE
TO GO ALONG FROM BACK FROM YOU
pKNOW BOTH CHILDHOOD MY HIGH
SCHOOL DAYS COLLEGE DAYS AS AS
I. BROUGH INTO VARIOUS
PROFESSIONS THINKING THAT
CERTAIN THINGS CERTAIN RIGHTS
THAT WE ACHIEVED WE'RE JUST
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO
BACKWARDS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT HIM. SO I THINK
ABOUT FOR EXAMPLE HI I REMEMBER
BEING LAUDED BECAUSE BACK IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY TWO I WAS THE
FIRST GIRL ELECTED TO MY
STUDENT BODY PRESIDENCY MY HIGH
SCHOOL AND THEN SHORTLY
THEREAFTER NOT VERY MANY YEARS
AFTER WE HAD WOMEN ASTRONAUTS
WE HAD A WOMAN ON THE SUPREME
COURT SO I JUST FIGURED OKAY
WHAT BY THE TIME I WAS THE AGE
I AM NOW WE NEVER HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT ANYMORE WOMEN'S FIRST
BECAUSE- THERE'D BE WOMEN IN
LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN. READ
NUMBERS ALL. THE IN EVERY. NOT
SO. THEN OF COURSE RIGHTS I
WATCHED AS A CHILD. CREDIBLE
EFFORT TO RE SECURE VOTING
RIGHTS THAT WERE GRANTED AFTER
THE CIVIL WAR AND- I WATCH THE
VIOLENCE THAT ENSUED AND OF
COURSE THIS WEEKEND I WEN TO
THE MARTIN LUTHER KING EVENTS
AND THIS WAS THAT CONTINUED BY
AND OF COURSE THE HONORING OF
DR MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS NOT
JUST A MATTER OF THE VICTORY OF
VOTING RIGHTS BUT SO MANY OTHER
THINGS TO SEVERAL CIVIL RIGHTS
THAT WE NOW SEE BEING REVERSED.
BUT WITH VOTING RIGHTS WE ARE
SEEING COUNTIES AND STATES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY STRIPPING
THOUSANDS OF VOTERS FROM THE
ROLLS SO WE'RE HAVING TO RE
FIGHT ALL OF THAT AND THEN HERE
AGAIN I'M A FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE
WHEN ROE VERSUS WADE. IS
SETTLED. A YOU KNOW INITIALLY

AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM-
WHICH STAND FOR THE BASIC
PROPOSITION THAT PEOPLE- IN
THIS SOCIETY GET TO MAKE
DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN LIVES
INSTEAD OF HAVING OTHER PEOPLE
MAKE THOSE DECISIONS FOR THEM-
AND I WAS SAYS AS A GAY MAN
WERE AND OUR COMMUNITY WE'VE
BEEN TOLD FOR MANY YEARS WHAT
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO OR NOT DO
WITH OUR BODIES. AS NONE OF
ANYONE'S BUSINESS WHAT WE ARE
USING FOR OUR OWN LIVES AND THE
FACT THAT ANYONE WOULD TELL A
WOMAN YOU MUST CARRY A
PREGNANCY TO TERM I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU WONDER WHY YOUR
SITUATION IS OR WHETHER IT
MAKES SENSE FOR YOU TO HAVE A
CHILD RIGHT NOW OR WHAT YOUR
DOCTOR IS ADVISING YOU. IT'S A
THAT WE'RE GONNA SAYS TELL YOU
THAT ARE GOING TO BE FOR FORCED
TO CARRY THAT BE TO TERM YOU'RE
GOING TO BE FORCED. TO GIVE
BIRTH TO THAT CHILD BY THAT DIE
IS TO SO NONSENSICAL. AND THE
OFFICER OF WHAT. ANYONE WOULD
ADVOCATE FOR IN A FREE SOCIETY
AND YOU KNOW WE MUST FIGHT TO
PROTECT ROW WE HAVE- A VERY
DANGEROUS APPEAL- IN THE US
SUPREME COURT NOW JUNE MEDICAL
SERVICES VERSUS KEY. THAT IF
THE SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS THAT.
