VALUE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS IN THE EYES OF THE INHALER
TO INHALE or not to inhale, that's the question. Whether it's nobler
to embrace marijuana as a wonder drug or say out loud what so many
others think: What's up with this scam, anyway?
A proposal for a medical marijuana dispensary is the latest
controversy to visit Walnut Creek -- perhaps it could be part of the
new Neiman Marcus store -- and awaits a ruling from the City Council.
But this issue just as easily could land anywhere in California, which
became the first state to legalize medical pot with the passage of
Proposition 215 in 1996.
Dale Gieringer, one of the sponsors of Prop 215, makes no secret of
where he stands.
