Quoted in the NYT! That's high profile, alright. I'm impressed that he's willing to stick his political neck out on this issue. Members of the California Narcotics Officers Association, and all the flavors of drug warrior everywhere, must be having a fit. Props to Krohn for a change!

Though it still begs the question "Why were Cannabis Pharmaceuticals and MedEx driven out of town?" So far it smells like a case of the city using their own bureacracy to nickle-and-dime these two former organizations, reportedly serving many more patients than WAMM did, into fiscal and administrative surrender.

And Norse has a real point - why DOESN'T the city council now declare a citywide medical emergency and "fast track" at least one new medical marijuana dispensery program into operation? Either a new one, or reviving one of the old ones if they're still around. The DEA didn't eliminate the patients, just the medicine.

Things that make you go "hmmmm."
