Cannabis related cases dropped precipitously during her time as DA but mainly because she forced the racial disparities in the prosecutory policy to be eliminated. To expect her to have been in the court room for minor offenses as DA or to give everyone a pass when they were breaking the law would have been a breach of her fiduciary responsibility to her client, which was the state. That would be enough to lose one's job as DA.
As a lawmaker, it is now her duty to change the law whereas before, it was her duty to enforce it, beholden to the governor of California. As a lawmaker, she introduced a bill to deschedule marijuana and expunge convictions at the federal level. It is something that you should consider supporting. I'm trying to be polite but to hate the one person up there who is actually doing the most for cannabis legalization because you feel that she was on a crusade against us, well it doesn't win points for intelligence.
She was the DA. She did her job and she actually had an effect contrary to what you seem to be claiming. Gabbard was citing one of the most biased right-wing sources that doesn't pass fact check.
I don't care if she had declining numbers. Its the fact that she was the top cop. You blew it right there. She sold out. No one told her to be AG. She had to fight for it. MJ is popular and a talking point, to me she is just riding what's popular. She seems super fake. Not relatable to the common person at all. If you're the AG you look down your nose at the people that need public defenders as stats to keep you in office. Its not her fault its that way but it is her fault to seek that out. This is only my opinion. And you are entitled to yours. I don't like old balls, or Kamala, or Gabbard, or Booker, or pretty much any except Yang, Klobuchar, Sanders, and I'd like to hear more than I have from Castro and, I kinda like the Hoosier too. If you like Kamala then awesome, I just don't.
EDIT:
Actually the AG thing is probably not that much an issue haha just learned Klobuchar was a county AG
, and probably many others, it just was brought to my attention (by bill maher), but she just seems fake, I'm not trying to offend. Ill give her another shot.
