Colo. medical marijuana supporters head to court

Police are not policy makers/deciders. Police should not be allowed to run our cities. The City of SF has told the police to back off of Marijuana laws in more than one manner. Police are afraid to lose any jobs and/or power. For police, having marijuana become "lowest priority" is like having the speeding law overturned. They lose revenue and they lose one more crime that they can molest citizens with. Note: Lowest Priority enforcement of marijuana laws means that the citizens have asked Police to back off. This means that there should be no lower priority than marijuana laws. Is the meaning of "lowest" unclear to anyone? Police cannot massage their interpretation of "lowest" to their liking. We must remember that police are an agency that works for the people.

is there a program with mi. state to grow marijuana, legally and be paid for it

this may be the start we need to fully leagalize that good mary jane

Atleast you guys are fortunate enough to use medicinal cannabis. I have a serious case of arthritis and nothing is working to reduce my pain or inflamation. I'd sure like to try cannabis and see if it works. But, I'm in Florida, the state with the most restrictive marijuana laws. It makes me sick that 95% of responders to the 2008 Miami Herald Poll were for Medical Marijuana. But, our governor and State Congress won't allow medical marijuana to even get on the ballot. Even if we get enough signatures for a public initiative. They can just disallow it. Our leaders here are bent on letting people suffer needlessly. I say, good for Washington State". Maybe, our leaders can learn about compassionate government from you guys, eventually.

Regardless if many prescriptions are not legitimate, neither are the majority of opiate derived painkillers taken in the US. What people need to realize is that even if you don't support marijuana, this is our freedom at stake, with the federal government undermining our authority every day. You people who disagree are the same people who so willingly vote your human rights away one piece at a time. The fact of the matter is that pot is safer than alcohol in terms of physical and psychological health, and any doctor with any familiarity with the pharmacokinetics involved in THC will agree. Too bad the media/government mindset soaks into the fickle brains of those who are unable to accurately think for themselves. I feel terribly sorry for this woman.

So these drug selling thieves are collecting taxes from their customers and they don't have to pay anyone. They already charge an outrageous amount for the dope they sell make huge profits and now when the state and city needs monies - they don't have to pay? Effing please. Excuse me Feds, what happened to the letters to the landlords? Shouldn't these places all be closed by now?

Yea, this is a good idea. Someone stoned on dope while running a backhoe with co-workers in a hole next to the bucket. One wrong move could crush them. Or a cop on medical marijuana with his gun drawn. People high at work is a really good idea.....NOT!!!!

an observation: ...tim is not the only person from another incomprehensible dimension (dement-shun?), who reads the Examiner. After all at least 61 were able to understand the psychobabble well enough to agree and another 66 who were able to disagree with the non-statement. There does seem to be a connection in that mess with illegal aliens and medical marijuana. Unless Martians have landed in Humboldt county I don't think the word "aliens" applies. But, like I said, incomprehensible.

Testing positive for medicinal marijuana use does not mean the person is high while at work. Considering how many people I have worked with who are obviously high on their antidepressants/psychotics/whatevers (can they get any more manic or wierd?) I would almost prefer a stoner who can be depended upon to have the same, if somewhat slow, personality on a daily basis. And what is more dangerous at work than someone with a major, or even minor, hangover? Hypocrites unite!

That is ridiculous the companies would say they could be held liable if a "high" worker is injured, or injuries someone else. Did they READ the actual law? If an employee is "high" while at work, that employee is in direct VIOLATION of the law, thus the EMPLOYEE not EMPLOYER is held liable. The law allows for medical marijuana to be used during NON-work hours and AT HOME, NOT AT WORK. The argument is undeniably flawed, and completely inaccurate. I hope they get called on their complete misinterpretation of the law passed by voters!

maybe if so many people, esp. in this town, who lie about their "need" for medical pot and are just smoking it to have a good time wold stop it, then legitimate users would not get screwed. Come on I see those ads in the papers they are night clubs not medical offices and "Doc 420" will give you a script for no reason. Smoke on that, losers.

It goes to show how scared the politicos of losing their drug money from the pharmacuetical companies that kill thousands each week while a safe and effective herb is used to get more money for a failed drug war. Rumsfeld profitted mightily from Vioxx and the bird flu vaccines that were never used. Let this drug lord do his time for the death of innocent Americans.

Yet another reason to impeach Bush and to vote for Ron Paul! This is a disgrace!
