US CA: PUB LTE: The Pot Problem

9/7/2010

THE POT PROBLEM

Maybe the robbery problem stems from the odd zoning for dispensaries, restricting shops to at-risk neighborhoods, or from inadequate police protection. If this medical herb were available at regular drugstores like tobacco, alcohol and medicine, the product could be better taxed, regulated and dispensed to properly prescribed patients.

Polls indicate that many Californians support decriminalization. The Nov. 2 vote on Proposition 19 will show whether voters want our police, lawyers, judges, correctional facilities and county sheriff to spend our tax dollars, time and resources on higher priorities.
