CLEVER MARIJUANA RUSE

Your headline, "Marijuana maneuverings" [Opinion, April 27], was certainly
apropros(sic) the subject. Proposition 215 was a sly attempt to legalize
marijuana, cleverly disguised and promoted with an emotional and
compassionate appeal to voters.

In truth, the proposition was poorly written, full of loopholes and absent
safeguards and controls. No one, the Register included, should be surprised
that law enforcement agencies are doing what they are supposed to do-enforce
the law!

Cannabis "clubs" have clearly demonstrated how the proposition, and the law,
can be abused,and the Register's attempt to portray the police as the "bad
guys" is deplorable and without merit.

Your editorial says "It isn't easy to implement a safe and affordable
medical marijuana distribution system" and Prop.215 clearly did not do that.
