The "Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana act of 2000" is the most uncompassionate act.  Narcotics Enforcement Division, through Keith Kamita, harassed doctors brave enough to recommend since our medical cannabis program started.  NED and our county police chiefs lobby yearly keeping the fear of cannabis alive, continuing our legislature to make so many rules to be broken, enriching the courts and prison industrial complex while at the same time enabling really bad drugs like meth and ice to proliferate in our beautiful state.  

I don't see people having to pay to register to get their hydrocodones or viagra, prozac or insulin, all of which have much worse side effects than cannabis.  It is pure extortion of the people.  I am really surprised and sad that the over ten thousand medical cannabis patients don't get it together and submit testimony to their elected officials.  I'm also really disappointed that our politicians (with a very small exception) are so, so blind to the truth.
