Comparatively speaking? I want to know when San Diego became the model for MMJ??
By that logic when did LA become the model for MMJ?
I don't believe the regulations go far enough to protect the patients. There should be random testing of coops meds for pestitcides and if any found the place needs to be shuttered. They would have no argument because they either grew it themselves and knew it or they bought it from some shady grower they should not have, either way they put at risk the health of all members of the collective. We could only hope after loosing their cash cow they in turn ruin the bastard that used the pesticide inappropriately that caused them to be shuttered. When you think about it growers are the ones responsible for the pesticide so the main concern of the city regulations should be to stop growers from providing to collectives. Damn growers who asks thousands for pounds of medicine that grow on bushes ruining it for collectives operating non profit. It just don't seem fare to punish the non profit collectives when the bad guys are the growers and their outrageous prices.
so....lower prices, easier access and better meds....that's your epidemic huh?
This is what the majority of residents want in LA. Easy and safe access to a wide variety of high quality medication.
Well yeah, if more clubs = lower prices and better selection then the arguement is that the ends justifies the means and if more criminals are getting rich in the process then I agree that it's an epidemic because I don't believe the ends justifies the means.
It's like going to war in iraq for oil.
Does the ends (killing people for their resources) justify the means (keeping gas at <$3.00/gallon)?
So does the ends (providing people with a previously illegal drug) justify the means, (shady criminals making money off a vaguely worded law?)
If you are successful in shutting down all collectives/coops, and protecting the world from the overpaid, shady drug dealers in disguise selling smokable cyanide, will your ends justify the means?

you're an imbecile
If the shady are shut down the public perception will be that it can be legit and that will be a good thing in the long run.
The ends is not that everyone has access to MJ in the short term, the ends is that the public recognizes that it can be done the way big pharma is done and they will accept it and then stop fighting it.
