On Catalytic Converter Thieves Arrested in Santa Barbara

The dispensaries in this town are not about providing compassionate care for needy individuals. They are about PROFIT! Legalize Cannabis and tax it like they tax tobacco. There is a social cost that must be paid with recreational drug use. Time to get the underground growers and Mexican drug cartels out of the supply trade. Grow it in the open and let the free market due the rest. Time to treat cannabis in the same manner as we treat tobacco. This is a cash crop that must be treated as such. And those who have a legitimate need for medical cannabis should be able to get their medicine in a clean, safe, and not for profit atmosphere. Time to end the hypocrisy!

Thank you Latino voters for choosing Clinton. Looks like skin color is more of a factor than anyone wants to admit.

Congradulations Matt!! Market 196 is too small for you! I hope Phoenix works out for you and your family. Personally I would have taken the gig in SF but Phoenix is probably more family friendly. Good luck!

On The Gift of Anger

Posted on September 28 at 12:56 p.m.

I want to first point out that I am a patient of a local dispensary and a proponent of making medical marijuana available and safe. Alexander does have a right to his opinion on the impact that he feels the dispensary is having in his neighborhood. I agree that the late night noise and constant traffic in a residential neighborhood is unacceptable. I have been witness to one collective that has had a noticeably negative impact on the surrounding area. That dispensary has been featured as the one closing its doors in both the independent and the Daily Sound. It was painfully apparent that there were plenty of people who were there that did not appear to have a legitimate need for Cannabis as a medicine. There were obvious signs of people reselling within sight of the club. These actions provide ammunition to those who say medical marijuana is nothing but a smoke screen to legalize marijuana. While I do see the futility of trying to enforce a prohibition on Marijuana, the dispensaries have a responsibility to provide a safe, clean, and non disruptive environment for those who legitimately use marijuana for medical purposes. It goes along with the basic tenant of the constitution that expresses the right to do whatever you want as long as it does not infringe on someone else’s rights. I think the state should allow for a commercial grow operation to take place on zoned agricultural land. I am worried about the safety and accessibility of our public lands if they are taken over by foreign and domestic criminal operations. It is high time the local and state governments take up the task of regulating the growing and distribution of medical marijuana. This is the only solution that will make it safe for all parties involved. Please write to your local and state government representatives and make this a priority.
