Hamilton 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:
This is an issue that is very fuzzy. California passed proposition 218 which makes medical marijuana legal in California but it is contrary to Federal law. We have looked carefully at this and have found that the Federal Government is very aggressive in shutting down these institutions, and therefore we have a moratorium on thier establishment in Porterville until the two agency's can come to some consistant legislation. It is my opinion that Prop 218 is to loosely written and that any medical marijauna should be dispersed by pharmacy's just like all other medicines.
