We’re wasting much less money perusing harmless stoners. Cops are able to focus on real crime.

Sound like a successful experiment.

Sure you can find A citizen that objects. Not many.

Finally at the end of the list of conditions listed in prop 215 that can be treated with pot....stress. The citizens of California knew exactly what they were voting for. You just don’t like it.

"We’re wasting much less money perusing harmless stoners. Cops are able to focus on real crime."

Marijuana is already decriminalized in California -- possession is a misdemeanor with a small fine. When's the last time you've read about a marijuana user in California being arrested? Medical marijuana doesn't free up any more cops to "focus on real crime".

Oh, and how's that working out -- crime down in California with all these cops with all this free time?

"Finally at the end of the list of conditions listed in prop 215 that can be treated with pot....stress."

Uh-huh. When Proposition 215 was being sold to the public, however, I remember hearing things like "cancer" and "nausea" and "glaucoma" -- stress was nowhere on the radar.
