Feinstein may not be the best example for opposition to the measure. I know a responsible, organic grower on private land with owner’s involvement who is staunchly opposed as it will result in a massive corporate takeover.

What she’s implying is that if that’s all that’s keeping them in prison, the real reason they are in prison is something else, but weed possession was what the cops used to put them away. Personally I think this is a garbage argument, even if true, but I suspect that’s the source of your confusion.
