SOME SUPERVISORS AREN'T OPEN TO THE FACTS OF MARIJUANA

I was also at the April, 8 Board of Supervisors meeting about medical
marijuana and those who oppose it were given their turn (all three of
them, and they were so far off on their facts that sure they got a few
cat-calls and hisses).

I agree with a recent letter-writer that the board couldn't let
everyone for medical marijuana say much because there were so very,
very many of them. But the few that were allowed to talk were the
expert witnesses so they had all the true facts. Well, the board
listened to them and when they were finished, Supervisor David Finigan
looked left, looked right and called for a vote. So that meant they
(Mr. Finigan and some other board members) had already had their minds
made up. And the crowd knew it so they voiced their minds, and no, the
police were there already and didn't have to clear the place out. And
yes, David Finigan did yell, threaten and scream, just like all the
unruly people.

This is just another way for people against this to try and make the
medical patients look like criminals and mean and unruly people. But
they're not, they're just people that want to have a decent pain-free
quality of life that we all want.
