Okay, I've been following the DEA's latest, greatest escapade into patient-privacy rights (Which is really what the dispensary raid is all about. They confiscated ALL patient records, along with the LEGAL medical marijuana.), and this new update from Sign On San Diego below, regarding the County of San Diego putting a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries, just blows my mind.
If you did not know, almost immediately after voters in California legalized medical marijuana in the state (1996), the DEA went Nutso Christo into raiding anyone that attempted to dispense the narcotic, and, did several unethical, albeit illegal things, in regards to trying to find out who was receiving prescriptions for weed, and which doctors were prescribing it.
While the City of San Diego threw up it's arms, for the most part (because, we all know, the City has WAY too many other problems to enforce this shit, full time), the Snobs at the County dove immediately into a lawsuit to prohibit dispensing of marijuana, outside City boundaries. This resulted in a very expensive, drawn out lawsuit, that FAILED.
So, concerned taxpayer, now that the County also has declared itself fiscally barren, how much more taxpayer money should be spent to lock up "drug dealers" that prescribe Ganja to terminally ill people, or people in chronic pain?
Here is my opinion, if anyone is interested, and please read the article below, as well.
A. The Dickhead Enforcement Agency is obsolete. We have the Border Patrol, the FBI, the great Homeland Scrutiny agency, and soon, possibly, our friends from the CIA coming in to work domestically. The feds should save themselves some money, and tell the ex-N.A. drug cons at the Defunct Enforcement Agency to take a long hike into a never ending wasteland of redundancy.
B. Marijuana should be legal. Advocates made the mistake of thinking the medical marijuana gig was a great first step toward taking the negative stigmas away from the drug. Fuck it. I don't even like it that much, but since I'm not employed, I may just start smoking it anyway, to say Fuck You! That's why!
C. There may be a proposition on an upcoming voter ballot (I believe this November, if not, possibly next summer. Clarify anyone?) to give the Board of County Fuckhead Supervisors term limits. Currently, they hold their positions for life, like wee little monarchs over a shit heep of a kingdom.
County board continues medical-marijuana ban
2:00 a.m. September 17, 2009 [2 A.M. WTF?]
San Diego County supervisors yesterday extended their ban on medical-marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated areas.
Early last month, the board adopted an emergency moratorium on storefront dispensaries, and county lawyers were given 45 days to write a law that would meet state guidelines.
But the staff told supervisors they need until the end of July 2010 to come up with appropriate language.
[Is this even a complete story? Jeeezzzzusss! It is not legal, by any means, for a city, or county government to adopt laws that go against and ENTIRE state-wide law, voted into effect By The People. These people are fucking jerks!]
