MARIJUANA SELLERS JUST NEED LOBBYISTS

This is in response to Sunday's editorial, "Feds can't get their story
straight on pot":

The issue with the president's view of what constitutes a legitimate
business is a political lesson in the making.

Simply put, the Obama administration wants a cut of the millions upon
millions of dollars being generated in California's newest industry.
And all this consternation over what constitutes the legitimacy of it
would go away if the pot sellers would do just three things:

1. Create a lawful, mandated membership of all co-ops and use union
workers to run it

2. Hire lobbyists

3. Make political contributions

They'd have the AFL-CIO, Trial Lawyers of America, and Sens. Barbara
Boxer and Dianne Feinstein all pushing doors open for them.

The only downside is the obvious rise in prices, but so what? It's how
the big boys fight city hall.
