Feds Target CA Pot Dispensaries: Good Idea vs. No
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have launched a crackdown on some pot dispensaries in California, warning the stores that they must shut down in 45 days or face criminal charges and confiscation of their property even if they are operating legally under the state's 15-year-old medical marijuana law.

I agree with you 100%. We just legalized marijuana in Arizona for medicinal reasons. I voted for it because I know the benefits it would have on people with diseases especially with cancer. We have the toughest drugs enforcement laws in the country. You get stopped with pot your screwed. The police IMO should spend less time on this issue and rounding up abusers and spend more time hauling illegals back to the border. We don't have enough police or border patrol to do that however. And we certainly don't have enough to do both and do them well. IMO pot should be legalized period. Although I feel has very negative affects on those using it...so do cigarettes. The crack down should be alcohol...more die on our streets from DUI drives than pot. You get a DUI in Arizona...and its 22 days minimum at tent city first offense I believe. Side: Good idea

I don't know if I understand the point of your disagreement. It's not very apparent. but the parallels between ice cream and marijuana are pretty vague. Are you saying that Mary Jane and ice cream are nothing alike? Well they are nothing alike, except in my example. Cannabis and ice cream are similar the fact that they are both equally unhealthy and psychologically addicting. But you've eaten ice-cream or some other treat, yes? They are not physically addicting. They are not like cigarettes. And they do not kill you like how cigarettes do, because they do not cause you to want them all the time unless you yourself develop an emotional problem. Just like you won't get really unhealthy from eating a little ice cream once or twice a day, you won't get extremely unhealthy from smoking a little blunt once or twice a day. And nothing but yourself will cause you to consume either of these things in a great quantity. Once again, ice cream is nothing like tobacco. Neither is grass. Side: No
