New marijuana ‘road map’ still has detours

On the other hand, it doesn’t take much imagination to see this latest attempt is just another battle in the war for state’s rights. At what point are the feds going to give up and recognize that their ridiculous war on marijuana is going nowhere, and admit it isn’t a Class One drug? When will they go after the real druggies who use meth, cocaine, heroin, and dozens of other substances that are Class One drugs that really threaten this country? Where’s the war on meth? Where’s the war on legal prescription drugs being abused by our youth? Where is the war against so-called designer drugs? There’s no doubt in my mind that there are people “working the system” that shouldn’t be operating cannabis clinics. They do need to be shut down, because they are giving the legit clinics a bad name. And, I want to think this latest attempt at slowing the feds down will work. The problem is things have to change at the top. The question now is which one of the presidential candidates would honor Californian’s right to medical marijuana? Personally, I wouldn’t bet on either of them.
