Are Medical Marijuana Dispensaries a Convenient Target Now That Prop 19 Failed?

• that is a good point trorie. i feel the same way when it comes to this topic.

• anyways it was nice talking to you people and just remember how i feel that marijuana should be legalized for medical purposes and not recreational. also there should be more restrictions on who can get a medical script.

• it may not cure it but it does help the people that suffer from it

• what does smoking weed do for their seeing problem. last time i checked weed doesn't cure vision problems.

• because they have a seeing problem

• why does a person with a seeing problem smoke weed.

• this is not about equal opportunity. this is about who truly needs medical marijuana for medicinal purposes and not who just wants it to abuse it.

• the guy in the photo is really ugly

• what are you talking about. Why should the cripple get to enjoy the good shit and I can't. I this was a equal oppurtunity state.

• that is true and i feel that they should make more restrictions on who can get a script and grow pot. it is wrong that anyone can get it when they don't need it while there are people that truly need it for medical purposes.

• It doesn't if they make it hard to buy pot it is so easy to get a script now a days that you just have to grow it

• that is true that people will still be able to get pot after the dispensaries are closed because it is already happening. i don't feel that the dispensaries should be closed because there are people that actually need marijuana for medical purposes and that is where they buy it.

• doesn't matter if they close down all dispencires people are still gonna find away to smoke that good shit

• yes i feel that they are going to be a convenient target because with the legalization of marijuana no passing, they will target the dispensaries.

• What is it these people haven't figured out about our futures? Cannabis is returning as a component of human evolution, just like it was for thousands of years before our ancestors allowed some crooked tycoons and politicians to criminalize a plant that ranks only behind air, water, and food on the top shelf list, for its myriad benefits and uses. Yes, Prop. 19 only garnered 46%, but that's 3.4 million voters and those are the younger of us. Countless senior aged friends felt compelled to assure me they'd voted Yes, because they're compassionate people. It's a shame we have to again think of Orange County as the bastion of such backward thought, as to think the defeat of Prop 19 is a green light to start thinking like a mob. Close down medicine providers? Do they believe Cannabis is a Schedule 1 narcotic? You're cruel people, when this is how you think.

• Cannabis is highly effective in a wide variety of medical conditions, ranging from cancer to glaucoma to chronic pain, to PTSD.. It is amazing that in our day and age the Feds and their DEA cling to outdated "dogmas" and suppress further research into the remarkable medicinal properties of the Cannabis plant. I cannot believe that this Inquisition-style repression with regards to science and scientific research is even possible in contemporary America, of all places. But the fact remains very clear: Cannabis is not physically addictive and the so-called "gateway drug" theory is nonsense. I was very impressed with Arizona voters this past election because despite all the scare-tactics, all the deceptions, all the distortions, the voters of Arizona, many being rather Conservative, still voted for their own interests, for the medicinal Cannabis, and against the "politicos" "dogma". Cannabis is Medicine, people, it has been medicine for thousands of years, and it will still be medicine long after the current prohibitionist crowd pass into oblivion! Legalize Medicinal Cannabis in all 50 States ASAP!

• when are people going to realize that, ban or ban, people will continue to grow/sell this healthy herb ? if we legalized prostitution and the government controlled it, they could pay into the national debt. prostituion, also, has never lacked for customers. prohibition didn't work and neither will a ban on either of these businesses. think it's the hose nose party that wants it banned ? goes to show that they don't know up from down... this country badly needs a guvment enema.

• @George-the-ignorant -- during alcohol prohibition, you could get your doctor to write a prescription for your booze and you could buy it at an alcohol compassion center. It was dumb during the 20's & 30's; it's dumb today. Set cannabis free! And your idea of even more gov't intervention is just plain stoopid. Less gov't, more weed.

• I'd like to see the rules changed so only a primary care physician can prescribe MMJ. That prescription would also have to be co-signed by a state doctor. Also, the MMJ should be distributed via the established pharmacy system instead of the fly-by-night 'compassion centers.' What a joke they are!

• 20ft- At least I left out the contents of my Trader Joe's canvas bag this time.
