Comment on the editorial, Brown's rules on medical marijuana

DanC must be a cop riding on the anti-pot law enforcement gravy train busting pot smokers instead of doing tougher law enforcement activities to earn their 100k plus salaries and golden egg retirements.

How do state regulators justify the double standard between medical marijuana dispensaries and the real drug kinigpins--Glaxco, Lily etc. Pharmaceutical companies are not obligated to be nonprofit because it would be economically unviable, thus patients would not have medicine available. Brown's regulation seems like another disguised attempt to dismantle Prop 215.

Medical marijuana is a legal product in the state of California. The Attorney General has overstepped his bounds, seeking to eliminate all profit from the medical marijuana market. It is not the business of the government to regulate the "free market". Pharmaceutical companies are not regulated as it relates to profit. Opiates are far more "sinister" of a drug. Yet Pharmaceutical companies make untold billions every year selling them to needing and un-needing patients. .......Let the "Free Market" dictate price. Believe in Capitalism.

It is a bit bizarre that profitability is construed as the indicator of criminality, unless I missed the transition to Communism. Those who provide medical cannabis to physician-certificated patients in need ought to be PROTECTED by our state, regardless of their alleged profitability.

In the 1800s, marijuana (also referred to as cannabis) was legal in most states, as hemp to make items such as rope, sails, and clothes, and was used for medicinal purposes. "Make the most you can of the Indian hemp seed. Sow it everywhere." - George Washington Thomas Jefferson,author of the Declaration of Independence, drafted on paper made of cannabis fiber,cultivated cannabis.Benjamin Franklin, shown here on a U.S. $100 bill, started the first American paper mill, which made paper exclusively from cannabis.

legalize, ladies and gentleman. prohibition didn't work for alcohol and it isn't working for marijuana. tax the product and fund mental health services for the state aiding those with drug problems.

The only way the Pharma lobby would allow 215 on the ballot is if it's non-profit. Is any other US pharma market regulated in such a way that a profit is not allowed? I'd like to see any drug company tell their board of directors that they can't make a profit of the medicine they bring to market.

IT was a bad idea years ago, it is still a bad idea. Medical pot is a crock and ought to be treated as such. Throw them all in jail. Another example of California arrogance (not California Dreamin).
