California’s former top cop forms marijuana distribution firm in new age of legalization
Former California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer is going from enforcing laws against marijuana to legally distributing the drug under the states new rules that allow the sale and possession of pot for recreational use.
With state-licensed sales of marijuana starting Jan. 1, Lockyer has co-founded a firm, C4 Distro, that will distribute packaged marijuana concentrates and edibles to stores in Los Angeles.
He says Californias new regulated system has a chance to be a model for the rest of the country.
For me as somebody who was on the law enforcement side for so many years, I saw the inadequacies of the effort to regulate something just by calling it illegal, Lockyer said. I think legalizing will help stabilize and help legitimize this industry and result in better consumer protection and other public benefits.

Kind show’s the true spots of that L.I.F.E.R. “law enforcement” predator, don’t it.
Of course not.
You write the headline first, and then cite only those sources that support it.
This is how modern journalism works.
Having one elected official issue an edict saying that the law will no longer be enforced is not the same thing as legalizing the thing in question. That’s got elements of, ironically enough, totalitarianism. To keep the scheme going they are setting up the situation that a person with xyz opinion MUST be elected regardless of what their qualifications or lack of qualifications are for the job. There are certainly going to be plenty of elected officials who will go along with that because it is an easy hurdle for them to cross. In this case, the former elected official is in the pot distribution business himself, so what do you expect his view to be of the issue?!
