Nice try (not really).

But it is required to go through (and passes) a smog check every other year and it's driven only about 600 miles per year. So, what smog? And driving it isn't mind-altering!

Bingo. Better yet let all these activists run the few dispenseries and do so as non profit entities and sell the goods little above cost.

Heh. Let's be honest here, the "original intent" was to create a loophole to legalize pot. We all know that.

Then all the hard-core stoners wrecked it for everyone else. Surprise.

When I read this, the music they play when you win Family Feud just started playing in my head.

Well then, let's make it nice and simple and legalize. Cartels out of work, sick people get their MMJ, kids in school no longer revere the dopeman lifestyle (can't make money anymore), municipalities get massive tax revenue, stoners get silly and the munchies without worrying about their records destroyed with drug charges.

Nothing very "hard-core" about stoners, btw. The Stoney Jay and Silent Bob hanging around your nearest 7-11 are rarely a terribly menacing lot.

Why should it be legalized for everyone?
Why shouldn't it be legalized just for medical needs only?
Bob.

Because marijiuana Prohibition fails, no matter what ironic moralists try to impose on others. The War on Drugs is our current, extended-cut version of that old, tired mistake. A relic kept around for, what else, money and power.

The city council does not have the brain power to indulge itself with the sophisticated operations of the drug cartel, not even it the remotest sense.
Obviously their decision was a political one, and we may never know who, or what was behind it.
I am glad they finally came to some sort of conclusion to limit the illegal use of this drug though.
While we are on this subject, I need to ask.
Obviously some of you know someone who needs, and uses this drug to ease pain, and has a card to purchase it.
How many joints a day do these people use to ease the pain, and how long does the effect of pain killing last?
Just curious.
Bob.
