San Diego Appoints Medical Marijuana Task Force - Medical Cannabis News - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

**Skip** · 10-13-2009, 09:01 PM

The San Diego City Council has appointed 11 people to serve on a Medical Marijuana Task Force. The panel consists of a wide range of personnel including a lawyer, a doctor, a mmj patient, a retired LEO, a dispensary owner and other interested parties, with no one group dominant.

This looks like a reasonable model for dealing with the issues surround medical marijuana. Perhaps other counties and cities should put together a group of interested parties to come up with the medical marijuana regulations for their districts.

Seems. Quite reasonable. Depending on where the LEO and doctor fall in the discussion it looks like our interests are very well represented if not almost dominant. Logically, it should present all sides and work effectively. We'll have to wait and see for that part.

Kim Twolan, medical marijuana collective director would be our best hope for obtaining information. Someone should know her. She's on Facebook

seems to me, a neophyte in this arena, that if all CA mmj dispensaries can't agree on a group of state favorable rules, to stringently abide by, marijuana legalization just won't happen, and eventually the state will clamp down very tightly on everyone. The mmj community can't afford bad press; it always makes big news. the only thing you want to see in the paper is the record amount of taxes the state is collecting from your operations;

please educate me (newcomer) on this topic..thanks

I agree that the state should have their own panel to help legislate for all of CA but seeing San diego even try to accompish any dialogue between all facets of MMJ is a great start. Stay classy San diego!

We need exactly this in Colorado desperately. I never though I would say this but we could benefit from some regulation.

I am surprised...this is certainly a good start and could yield some good results for us down here.

how much better it would be if all the dispensaries took it upon themselves to set a tight group of their own state favorable rules to abide by, to demonstrate an open willingness to abide by rules and regulations. police themselves if you would

How great would it be if it started raining $100 bills, oh shit this is the real world. Sorry if I came off like an ass and I applaud your optimism, but umm in the real world most people don't police themselves or give a shit about what consequences their actions bring. They want $$$$$$$$$$. The unfortunate truth.
