Feds, Judges Say: Decriminalize It... Don't Criticize It
Great commentary from CaliforniaCityNews.org on the flurry of medical marijuana activity in local and federal government this week. This was a smart comment, particularly for local city planners:
Whether you support pot for medicinal (or recreational) use, there’s really not a dispute that the legal gray area for cities is a nightmare. Cities are fighting expensive legal battles to get control of dispensary proliferation, which in an unregulated environment are rife for public safety issues.
Dispensaries are routinely robbed at gunpoint in Los Angeles - it is worth getting regulation right so that nearby land uses and residents, etc aren’t put in danger.
