No regulations are confusing when it comes to marijuana, meth, crack, any of it. No prescription drug is at anytime authorized, unless a doctor of medicine fills out a prescription to a pharmacy for any drug to be dispensed to the person, who it's prescribed as a reason for taking it. People need to stop and realize that illegal narcotics not only hurt one person but destroy families, hurt taxpayers and do any other kind of harm possible. I myself am a security officer. And if I am on duty and see someone strung out on drugs, that someone can bet, right now, I will detain them and hold them for the police. I don't care if whether or not I am related to them. There will be no special treatment. Even if it is a close friend of mine. The law is defined clearly about it. That's that and is final. If you are on drugs, be patient. Someone soon will be banging on your door with a search warrant to be looking. If any drugs are found, the taxpayers in the state of California will be paying for a trial for you.
