GROWING CONCERNS

Editor:

Prop. 215 vague and confusing? Really? It is written in plain English
(not bullshit legalese) so anyone who speaks English can understand
it. A person needs a doctor's recommendation (a prescription is not
specified, so a verbal recommendation will do). Limits to the amounts
a patient needs were not included because the authors recognized that
different conditions and physiologies would require differing amounts
of medication. Laws relating to marijuana possession, use and
cultivation would not apply to medical cannabis users. Doctors would
not be liable to punishment for prescribing pot. What is confusing or vague?

The only people who find this vague and confusing are those
"intelligent" people who are lawyers, politicians or law enforcement
- - people whose lives are consumed with rules, regulations and telling
people what to do. These people freaked because they need to have
control over everything, and this removed their authority to control
a specific aspect of a certain subset of the population.

Legalization? No way! The government will overregulate it and
probably make it illegal to grow your own. You would have to get your
weed from some corporation, and we know how corporations cheapen and
degrade every product to maximize profits for shareholders
(corporations have forgotten that all their businesses are supported
by consumers, not shareholders). Our pot will be full of pesticides
and artificial fertilizers. The quality will be degraded. Finally,
money will be taken from local individuals and given to giant
corporations who hide their money overseas to avoid taxes. At least
the locals spend their money in local stores that will pay sales
taxes to benefit the local communities.
