How dare they chastise our chief of police, Mark Muir, for stating his position in Helena regarding medical marijuana from a law enforcement perspective? As Muir states, this is no longer a medical marijuana issue, but has become a criminal issue. It sounds to me that Wiener is condoning criminal activity in the face of defending the medical marijuana community. I do not believe the voters envisioned a law where people would receive their card from a convict driving around in a van issuing thousands of cards at a time. I do not believe the voters of this state envisioned a law that would tolerate criminal activity like illegal grow operations, theft, money laundering and now even murder. Our Chief of Police, as well as other city, county, state and federal law enforcement personnel, are doing their job enforcing the law. To have Wiener and other City Council member condemning Muir's actions is disgraceful and disgusting. Wiener and other need to put the pipe down and let their heads clear so they can see what is really going on here. Muir is not the laughingstock in Helena this year, but Missoula Council members and their positions surely have been. Kevin Pfau Missoula - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr.
