As someone who worked with the elderly, I had to be very careful. On three separate occasions in the early nineties, I was approached by senior citizens asking me to obtain marijuana for the friend of theirs that I was taking care of.

I had to tell them - if you want them to have this, and they agree, you need to get the substance. I can't afford to lose my license and/or do jail time.

I also couldn't even mention to a client that marijuana would offer them relief for things like tremors due to MS. I was so relieved when finally the voters in the state overwhelmingly approved of having medical marijuana available.

People have this concept that California is super liberal and that we all run around doing pot constantly. That picture of reality was contradicted by the stories NORML had on their website of all the grannies sitting in their wheelchairs in prison for the crime of having used marijuana for their MS. The state-approved legalization of medical marijuana should have changed all that.
