REGULATE CANNABIS FOR THE PATIENTS

With the recent decision on medical marijuana, maybe now Redding City 
Attorney Rick Duvernay and our confused council will listen to the 
people who live Proposition 215 every day, patients. Many times city 
officials have been told that if they wish to regulate, do so through 
the Health Department. If done through the Health Department, permit 
fees and fines can be handled by a created Marijuana Compliance 
Division, which will create jobs and pay for itself through permit 
fees and possible fines. By having a patient on board the integrity 
of the group can be met on both sides, but will the council follow 
reason or continue to lose money in the courts?
