SERIOUSLY: RESCHEDULE IT

If the medicinal cannabis dispensary detractors are serious about
protecting our youth and wanting cannabis to be available for the
thousands of ill and infirm in this country who benefit from the
medicinal use of cannabis, they will join the American Academy of
Cannabinoid Medicine (AACM) in insisting that cannabis be
rescheduled. This will allow commercial greenhouses, such as the
flower growers in Carpinteria, to produce medical cannabis and allow
pharmacies to dispense cannabis as they did from 1854 to 1941.
Further, the time and energy being used to fight dispensaries would
be put to better use getting an adequately funded program for
parenting, early intervention, prevention, and a comprehensive
approach to at-risk youth. If the anti-dispensary activists can't
support these actions that will treat this medicine as are other
medicines, then it's hard to take these critics seriously.
