The OP was about the feds initiative in prosecuting medical mj growers in states that have legalized marijuana. I think is is long overdue. In fact, I think it should not be a casual, memo it should be outlined fair and square for everyone. Laws need to be clear, and this one needs to be crystal. I followed a case a few years ago for a while about a legalized mj grower in CA being found guilty based on the information the the judge was allowed to give the jurors. This was when whatshisname was doggin it. When the jury was polled coming out of the courthouse they were all pretty appalled to learn that the man had been legalized by the state. Apparently, the jury was cloistered from media. I dont know the end outcome, but I suspect the man appealed or is appealing it. Nonetheless, his life financially must be ruined due to atty fees, and certainly his life has changed dramatically.

Like Snowy, I smoke dope regularly and I like it and I sort of resent needing to run around hiding it. On the other hand, unlike Snow, I dont know that it should be legalized because it would be so available and so many people would use it and then we would get no work done at all. On the third hand, sits the idea of how many folks with mental health issues are self-medicating, and what if they didnt have this? It could be worse, I could have no mj and then there would be no medicating of this girl and no work done. Trouble, I say, either way.

I suppose it could be classified similarly to alcohol and sold with regulation, but it takes some of the glamor out of it. I like the idea of the law turning the other cheek in these matters unless there are horrible offenses or the users are not adults, or responsible. In those cases, I believe the person should be investigated for those crimes, not the crime of being stoned.

Im stoned right now hence the long post; sue me.

besitos
