BIZARRO WORLD

I think the city of San Francisco getting into the "medical"
marijuana business is a great idea, in bizarro world!

I suspect it would be as successful as when Art Agnos declared San
Francisco to be a "sanctuary for homeless people" circa 1989 and
thousands upon thousands of "homeless" people came to San Francisco
from all over the country in order to be "homeless" where there were
cash benefits given with no questions asked.

I have seen the same "homeless" man who came from Kentucky trying to
get enough money to get to Fremont at the Civic Center BART station
since 1990, and he still hasn't gotten the fare he needs.

I envision doctors' offices equipped with take-a-tabs for "patients"
waiting for prescriptions for "medical" marijuana and lines around
the block waiting to enter the dispensing areas.

There's no chance at all that the "medical" marijuana would be resold
on the street, or that minors would get any "medical" marijuana.

We all know minors rarely have access to alcohol, which is regulated,
and there is little or no abuse of prescription drugs, which are
regulated. Sounds like a great plan to me!
