Proposition 215

In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act, legalizing marijuana for medical use. Proposition 215 permits seriously ill Californians to use marijuana, provided they first obtain a doctor's recommendation. Proposition 215 also gives doctors a legal defense against professional or legal sanctions for recommending marijuana use.

Now here’s a story…A little store selling medicinal marijuana has opened in the neighborhood in a little strip mall down the street. Soon the mall is seeing a lot of traffic come into the area. The customers don’t seem to be seriously ill. Ah, but they need to have a doctor’s prescription so they must need it for something.

The business next store gets fumigated with the stench of marijuana on a daily basis. It’s really bad when a new shipment comes in. There’s no way to keep it from coming into the place. There must not be regulations on ventilation or storage of the weed, apparently. Then, one night at the mall, four businesses are broken into. True story…is this a good thing?

Blessings!
