Good governance helps to resolve social issues that if left alone fester and erupt into angry wounds. Twenty years after the passage of California's Compassionate Use Act, finally, some regulation of cannabis comes. Since the day of Proposition 215's passage, opposition to any form of regulation has been provided by California's law industry. Immediately upon its passage by the sovereigns, the all-zones meeting occurred. All of the busters (all of the chiefs of city police, county sheriffs, district attorneys and federal folks) met and agreed to fight any battle in order to stop any statewide regulation, and to basically ignore the new law-leaving defendants to the courts. Divide and conquer has worked well. I rest assured that our law industry will continue in its efforts forward. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."-Upton Sinclair All I want is swinging-door cannabis cafes in Chico. I enjoy cannabis, and I'm a good person. Jay Bergstrom Forest Ranch - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
