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.

Former California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer is going from enforcing laws against marijuana to legally distributing the drug under the states new rules... As an attorney one would think that Mr Lockyer would understand that the sale of even minute quantities of marijuana is a Federal crime punishable by a year at Club Fed.

It was worth saying twice. The average IQ in legalized states is dropping, and the folk’s that are smart enough to realize the danger and not irreparably damage their mind will be stuck dealing with and cleaning up the mess in the future.

While I agree that drug laws are unconstitutional and that the drug war is destructive at many levels, this man made his living sending people to jail for what he seeks to do now, and for that I would support prosecuting him so long as the law remains on the federal books (although I do wish for it to be removed).

The truth doesn’t matter. It’s all about the pleasures of the moment. That’s what we get in exchange for genuine liberty.
