Guatemala leader to propose legalizing drugs

22. What a thoughtful and excellent post,

The DOJ is waging war on the duly protected states rights' approved Medical Marijuana clinics here in California.

The news media is telling people: no reason to worry about marijuana for your medical needs - there will be plenty available to you as soon as the FDA licenses a medical marijuana product from Great Britain.

This type of statement sent off a flurry of letters to the editor. People started pointing out that there was more to medical marijuana than simply being allowed to have the Big Pharma version - especially if that version would be coming to California from Great Britain.

Last year, in California, over 100 millions of dollars came into local County treasuries because of taxes on Medical Marijuana. So the DOJ crackdown will be hurting a state that is experiencing 20% unemployment in many of its rural counties. People have had jobs running dispensaries. People have jobs growing medical marijuana. People have jobs guarding the growers. People have jobs doing the accounting and seeing a lot of the various bureaucratically required forms are filled out. Now many of those jobs have been eliminated. Why? Because the DOJ is protecting Big Pharma rather than states' rights.
