That's too bad, I was considering voting for Brown. No way I'm voting for any of these clowns now.

Kamala Harris, when she was the deputy City Attorney in charge of child abuse/neglect prosecutions (2000-2003), continued the work of her predecessor, Katherine Feinstein (daughter of Dianne) who began a child custody battle with me in 1998 because I used medical marijuana (had a letter from UCSF Dept. of Neurology months prior to CPS' arrival). I was found guilty of putting my four children at RISK for neglect due to my use of medical marijuana and the City was given legal (but not physical) custody of our family for 3 years. But Kamala Harris hated medical marijuana so much that she went ahead, late 2000, with a 3rd full trial even though CPS said "there were no actual CPS concerns or issues with the family since the opening of the case" in report after report and on the stand. City won (legal) custody again. My book about the 48 examples of perjury, tampering, suppression, etc used by the City Atty's office is online for two weeks now and the silence from the media is deafening...but the blogosphere is the place to be for any whistleblower. By November, this story of how Kamala Harris acted as a deputy City Attorney will be known, one click at a time, one blog after another.

Yeah Cool ....! Finally some smarts being shown out'a these politicians that know & understand that Medicinal Marajuana must stay just that. "Medical" Not for recreational use. As soon as big tobacco gets ahold of manufacturing "Marlboro-Green" by the pack. And/Or "Cannatonnic" like buying a can'o'buglar. It's "THROUGH" It's value will go down 'cause the quality will fall. Those in "the-know" ; know that "we" shouldn't fix stuff that isn't broke. Reminds me of ignorant hard drug abuse. All-Ways tryin'too take it too the next level. No Do Not Legalize. But : for those of you whom disagree with me. Let me just say right now that I will be in your face with,"I told'ja'so. After you too have come full circle on this enlightenment..! We should enjoy the last of what's left of a good program.'Cause after Big Tobacco takes over. God Help Us...!? Phillip Morris himself will want too put a chemical in their product too make the customer physically addicted too "Their Product"

"I hope to be there someday"? nice.
I think what he means is, I'm against this now while I'm actively campaigning for office, but once it's voted into law I'm all for it.

You need to sober up before posting man.

As it is, medical cannabis dispensaries are already being exploited by recreational pot heads who manage to get "doctors' recommendations" to access pot alleging for "medicinal" purposes.

Prop 215 is no doubt already largely abused by recreational pot heads feigning "medical necessity", although it is absolutely true that those of us who have conditions actually helped by medicinal pot do legitimately benefit from the legislation.

It's like a bunch of able-bodied people feigning "disabilities" in order to get the blue disability parking placard. The truly disabled benefit from the provision, but it is horribly abused by perfectly able-bodied people to get free parking.

So I resent this.
So "effing" what?, some may ask.

So legalize pot already and quit the charade, I say!

Yes, this is the very next item on the Civil Rights agenda, especially when it comes to Medicinal Cannabis, which is still not legal in the majority of States because of the old, outdated "dogma". Medicinal Cannabis is effective in a wide variety of conditions ranging from glaucoma to pain, to muscle spasms to nausea of chemothera­­py, to malnutriti­­on. The list can go on, including recent scientific findings that Cannabis can even be an “exit substance” for recovering alcoholics or hard drug/presc­­ription drug abusers. Cannabis is not physically addictive as it lacks a documented physical withdrawal syndrome, and the so-called “gateway drug theory” is invalid and was recently called “half-bake­­d” by a scientific study. Research also determined that there is no connection between smoking Cannabis and lung cancer (which to me demonstrat­­es that Cannabis has anti-cance­­r properties­­), that is also being confirmed by the ongoing studies. Cannabis also may be helpful in treatment, and even in prevention­­, of Alzheimer’­­s disease. Medicinal Cannabis Legalizati­on is not even a “partisan” issue, as the brave Citizens of Arizona showed us by legalizing Medicinal Cannabis in their rather conservati­ve State. In fact, Judge Francis Young said back in 1988 that "Marijuana is one of the safest therapeuti­cally active substance known to men", and the reputable Shafer Commission recommende­d immediate decriminal­ization of Marijuana to Pres. Nixon in 1972 which he ignored. History proves to the Cannabis prohibitionists that it is not possible to defeat the combined "forces" of Reason, science, and the Law of Supply and Demand! I really believe that all the fear mongering should be rejected, and Cannabis/Medicinal Cannabis should be legalized in all 50 States ASAP!
