Remember "government of the people, by the people and for the people"? The state Department of Health has the fate of thousands of medical marijuana patients in its hands. Who decided that nobody is supposed to know who is on the dispensary application approval team, or who picked them ("Panel, process for pot licenses to remain secret," Star-Advertiser, Feb. 10)? Sounds like Big Brother knows what is best for everyone. And for that matter, why not just have free enterprise? The number of pharmacies per county should not be limited by the state.
