We sometimes need the larger elements of government to protect us from “mob rule.” We need state law to protect medical marijuana patients from the wrath of small minded local politicians and local special interest groups. The last thing patients want is for the State legislature to hand our hard fought medical marijuana rights over to the cities, but that’s exactly what this terrible bill will do.

AB 1300, by a democrat, Bob Blumenfeld, is poorly thought out and yet it passed with an overwhelming majority. Presumably the State Senate sister bill will pass as well, so we need to get the state senate aware of the problems with local rule. We need patients, collectives, NORML, ASA, etc. to wake up on this one!!!!!!!!
