1. I noticed that this seems to be about nothing
more than the law. Did I miss the real reasons for this action?

I mean, the dispensaries are there and have been for a while. Okay. So, did this turn out to be like Reefer Madness and there were droves of googly-eyed drug zombies raping dogs and grannies while holding-up convenience stores for Twinkies? Did morals loosen all over the city and was virginity lost? Were new insane asylums opened to take in the massive number of permanently screwed-up pot heads who became a horrific danger to society?

What the hell is their reasoning in this other than the archaic, propaganda-based, industry serving laws that we have been trying so hard for decades to divest ourselves of with all manner of logical, fact-filled debate, reasoning, studies and personal and cultural case histories that labor to undo the lies and fallacies we have had to endure, along with all the lives ruined by punitive legal ramifications?

The fact that the issue is about medical cannabis only underscores how ridiculous and biased the action is.

It is all about money and power and control, not cannabis. Rolling joints in a parking lot is not my idea of a threat to anyone, so that's bullshit. Let the uptight clowns come forth and challenge relief for patients. They are probably more worried about the forthcoming step of legalization for recreational use and this might represent one of the last stands, we can only hope.
