7. They need to legalize medical marijuana on the federal level.

They need to legalize medical marijuana on the federal level. As long as the feds consider it a schedule 1 drug, users, suppliers and doctors can still be reamed by federal law.

Here in CA, they are cracking down on the dispensaries. I had a card a couple of years ago and when I went to the dispensaries, I thought that most customers looked like potheads but I could be wrong and I think it should either be legalized or completely decriminalized anyways. The doctor who gave me my script didn't even check me out, my $150.00 dollars was all he needed to see and I do have a medical condition. Unfortunately, the pot didn't help, but boy did it help for sleep!

One danger area was that they sold hash. While less than an OZ in CA is only an infraction, possession of hash is a felony if they decide they want to screw with you.

Anyone who lives in reality knows that, at its worst, pot is safer than cigarettes and alcohol, they should just decriminalize it.

They are really cracking down on growers as well. So much for the will of the voters.
