Solano may extend marijuana-dispensary ban

The Solano County Board of Supervisors today will discuss extending a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries for nearly two years while staff hashes out the details.

Solano, Solano, Solano, so backward we are. Teabaggers rejoice!

P.S.- Have fun drowning in debt, dinosaurs.

[Ax yo momma]

Hash it out! You can't stop the marijuana movement!

This is just heal dragging. Didn't prop 215 pass over 13 years ago. How long does it take for Solono county to get it's act together. Lift the Ban already!

Eventually they will. The problem is that the board is full of social conservatives. And they know weed is the liberals' drug of choice, so they're reluctant.

"What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander"!

Talk about foot-dragging, slow to learn idiots! TWO MORE YEARS to make up their minds? Just grab the ordinances for liquor stores and substitute "dispensary" where it says "liquor store"! A few things would need to be changed, but not that much! Should take a few days, maybe a week or two to fix- not years!

And could someone local please print up a copy of "Granny Storm Crow's list- July 2009" and present it to those uneducated "gentlemen/women"? They need the education. Perhaps if they knew a little more about the subject, they could come to an informed decision in a reasonable amount of time!

I'd like to invite all of you to run a search on my list. You will be amazed by the wide range of ailments that cannabis can treat! My list provides links to the actual scientific studies and articles about cannabis. Are you ready for the facts? Read my list! Educate yourself!

Two more years.....I guess the board doesn't give a flying fark about the local people who are suffering when a perfectly safe, effective herbal medicine is available.

Solano county is a joke. Make a decision already slackers. Doctors should be making these decisions, not the uneducated morons on this board.

[Idiots]

C'mon bushtards get into the 21st century already. Fools.

You probably believe toads give you warts too. Shoes hanging from electrical lines means nothing. Wanna buy a bridge?

I have a hard time believing that any sensible person out there doesn't agree that the current policies regarding marijuana prohibition have failed miserably.
The typical stereotype of a "pot-smokers" is not reality. The reality is that many, many cannabis users are intelligent, productive, taxpaying, law abiding citizens. Many are professionals, executives and entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the stereotypical "pot-smoker" is more vocal and thus noticed by the public/media. The rest of us are still hiding our dark little secret, afraid to come out of the "closet" for fear of what our conservative friends/coworkers might think of them. Sad.
The prohibition of cannabis is really ridiculous. It's a non-toxic herb, people!
The sale of cannabis should not be controlled in a pharmacy because unlike most pharmaceuticals (and alcohol) people don't die from using it.
We need to allow dispensaries to exist because the bottom line is, if it's sold on the store self, it won't be sold on the street corners. The drug peddler on the street corner isn't going to ask for I.D. or pay taxes!! And to make matters worse, we're paying billions of dollars every year to enforce, prosecute and incarcerate illicit marijuana sales.
It's not hard to pull together statistics to support a belief that marijuana sales contribute to overall crime. Under today's model, marijuana sales will continue to attract other forms of crime.(do we have to remind ourselves of the Al Capone era and Alcohol prohibition??)
Cannabis has been used by human beings for therapeutic uses for thousands of years. Cannabis has been found to alleviate many problematic health related symptoms. I have personally found that it provides me much relief from symptoms that many people I know with similar symptoms use anti-depressants, sleeping pills and other prescription narcotics.
Please join me in pleading with our City, County, State and Federal officials to apply some common sense to this matter and end Cannabis prohibition.

AMEN! People are afraid of pot but pop Vicodin, Oxycontin etc. like candy. How can an educated person not see the stupidity here. Too many reasons to legalize, and not a single valid reason not too.
