Martinez on medical marijuana
question:
The City Council voted last year to stop the sale of medical marijuana. Should the city reconsider and allow medical marijuana dispensaries to operate? Why or why not? answer:
I am not in favor of contradicting federal law which has criminalized the distribution of marihuana for medicinal purposes. I do recognize and respect the will of the voters in California who approved dispensing it with the appropriate prescription. I believe that given the present legal conflict, it is more important for me to listen to the will of the people in Porterville.. It is quite unfortunate that this area of the law is so murky because it represents a "catch 22" situation for elected officials....
