MISSOULA POLICE CHIEF: HOW DARE COUNCILORS CHASTISE MUIR

Jason Wiener and other members of the Missoula City Council must have
their heads in a cloud of THC fog. 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.
