"Ever since California voters became the first in the nation to legalize medical marijuana in 1996 ..."

Uh huh. And how is that working out for them -- anyone bother to ask?

"Medical" pot is being sold to "patients" at higher than black market prices -- something not authorized by California law. "Doctors" are recommending pot without even seeing "patients". (Actually, it's more like validating the existing use than recommending a treatment.)

The citizens are starting to object at the number of pot "clinics" popping up -- the latest being the one at Fisherman's Wharf, a popular tourist attraction.

Californians need to re-evaluate their own situation before asking the candidates to support what looks like a failed experiment, given the rampant abuses.

You mean, people don't have to deal with criminals in order to get a product that doesn't harm anyone else? How is that a failed experiment? I see it as a success.

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.

It must just pain you to go to bed at night knowing that someone, somewhere, is getting stoned and you don’t have the power to imprison him.
