May I point out to you that the war on Medical Marijuana is a war on the elderly and also on women.

So activists "Brought it" for over a decade. When the proposition was on the ballot, to legalize Medical Marijuana,even the elderly in Marin County Calif. "brought it." Marin County Voters,among the oldest in the country, (demographically speaking), wanted Medical Marijuana at 82% for it!

People like Lynnete Shaw spent their lives and their fortunes seeing to it that here in Calif. jails would no longer be housing little old granmas whose Multiple Sclerosis has put them not only in wheel chairs but in prison.

And remember, each of these women had costs to the state of over 33 K a year. Drug kingpins would actually get lower sentences than granmas did - as the king pins could usually volunteer to be snitches for the cops and the DEA, or else they would offer up their compadres, so their sentences were reduced. It was the granmas who ended up in jail. And often their homes were possessed, as well!

The fact of the matter happens to be that right now the system in our "democracy" is gamed, pure and simple. In November we in this plutocracy have the "choice" between voting for a guy whose "good buddy' has rigged the distribution of wealth from those of us who need to retire, but we can't as good old Good Buddy lil Timmy has helped his buddies over at AIG and at Goldman Sachs. Or we can vote for a guy who is sure to replace Geithner, but will put someone just as bad in his place. Some choice?!?

A mere mortal would be under RICO investigation for his crimes, but due to Tim's ownership of the Obama Presidency, Tim will never be charged with a thing.

Anyway, Obama needs to discuss the situation with Kamela Harris. Harris should have been a shoe-into become the Attorney General of Calif. But her advisors had her write a rather stupid non-endorsement of the total legalization of marijuana. Which gave a lot of people pause. Was Harris signalling that she would aide and abet the Big Money People regarding Marijuana laws. The drug cartels hate marijuana liberalization,. The Big Money people hate medical and normal marijuana use being legalized - do you understand how much money gets laundered through banks every year? That one third of the Mexican economy is related to drugs being illegal?

Harris was not a shoe-in. Instead her words op;posing liberalizing medical marijuana scared people into voting third party. She barely squeaked by in her election efforts agains a VERY VERY unpopular Republican candidate. Does Obama want the voters to vote for him here in California or not??????????? Peopel I know are talking about either staying home or voting third party.

I am waiting for his apology. He is here often enough in both LA and SF, rubbing shoulders with the rich - who benefit from the Big Prison compounds that need to be built, maintained and staffed. He is here often enough rubbing shoulders with the Big Bankers who also are now in bed with the Big Prison industry. It's not too late frr Obama to right this. (Not that I am holding my breath.)

Luckily for voters, many officials who are Democrats are not as either corrupt or as blind as Obama. One of the last things that happened before Ahnold left office - Mark Leno and Ahnold put together legislation that makes it difficult for police to arrest anyone holding small amounts of weed.

BTW I don't even smoke, I just became aware of how absolutely unjust the medical marijauna situation happens to be.
