(Newslines, by Meredith J. Cooper, Dec. 2): I don't use [marijuana], I never have, don't think I ever will, but I am amazed at the tactics used here. They are trying to build a case based on "clerical errors" more than anything. Those things could happen in your everyday pharmacy if someone accidentally skips a step in the process. It sounds to me like the issue is possibly inadequate training for a job that should be handled with the same protocols as your everyday pharmacy, but I can't think, with the exception of CPC selling with no script whatsoever, that any of these operations are guilty of anything other than negligence, and that's a person-to-person issue, not a problem worthy of shutting down the whole operation. The dispensaries just need to make sure they have properly trained their employees and watch their backs. How [District Attorney Mike] Ramsey connected Dylan [Tellesen] to CPC when he had written info in his possession that clearly stated that there was no connection before this even started is amazing.
