CONFUSION CONFOUNDING

It's distressing to learn that San Bernardino law-enforcement 
officials continue to find "confusion" where none exists ("Pot 
dispute still unresolved," Aug. 27).

According to the Legislative Counsel of California, the state 
Attorney General's Office, the Superior Court of California, and the 
4th District Court of Appeals, local politicians and law enforcement 
are obligated to uphold the provisions of California's medical marijuana laws.

The county Sheriff Department's objections possess as much merit as 
claiming that the Earth is flat. The arrogant behavior of San 
Bernardino's supervisors and police is an affront to those they were 
hired to serve and is a gross waste of taxpayers' dollars.
