Fact: Medical marijuana is legal for use in California by lawful vote of the people and proper enactment by stage legislature. The so-called loyal opposition claim the law is full of loopholes, while in fact the state legislature, in great wisdom, specifically designed the law to require local government to properly regulate what is a ultimately a local issue. It’s local because it affects you and me regardless of how we think and feel on the issue. More importantly it affects the civil rights of each and every one of you.
What has happened is your town government has effectively cut and run on the issue. Now with three seats up for election, the incumbent group can force a majority decision to close down the only high desert dispensary available to our many cancer-stricken and chronically ill people.
So now, at the June 15 meeting, they are going to enact an ordinance and fully ban dispensaries in Yucca Valley on absolutely no fact except their group inability and failure to properly regulate and govern in and for the benefit of the people of Yucca Valley. And to the last sentence I would like to add the benefit of the many thousands who live in the immediate area whose dollars truly support Yucca Valley.
It seems to me the local cooperative has made every rational effort to work with this group of people who steadfastly have refused to do their job and properly regulate a lawful business operation. What heroes you politicos could have been to our seniors and ill people who daily rely on this legal method of medication. But then what can you expect from a group of dedicated cut runners, true Republicans, leaving the city in a financial and moral disaster?
Doesn’t anybody in this town have the guts to stand and run for the moral majority on the issue, or are you going to let your civil rights be trampled into the dust of the town budget?
I encourage all to attend and participate in this issue so vital to health of our community.
