Medical Marijuana - "It's time to change the water in the bong of City Government!"

1.  As Mayor how will you regulate medical marijuana?

As a candidate for mayor of San Diego and the only medical marijuana patient running, I believe medical marijuana should be regulated like alcohol, largely restricted adults over 21.  I would require a patient under 21 to get two doctors’ approvals before receiving a prescription, and have special under-21 youth dispensaries.  We need a tamper proof ID with an 800 number for 24 hour verification.  Police should chase illegal aliens, not medical patients!  We also have to control our patients and dispensaries to show credibility and control before the public.
               
2.   Would I put forward another referendum? 

NO–I think we’ve already had several referendums that prove Californians, and San Diegans, want and deserve medical marijuana NOW.  The County has wasted years of patients’ time, making them live longer in pain.  Such ignorance and lack of legislation resulted in the suicide of Steven McWilliams.  We HAVE legal access NOW, which is a right denied in Oceanside and elsewhere.  

3. What are your plans for the hemp industry and support of MM patients? 

My plans for medical marijuana include reasonable regulation and taxation, which could generate billions in taxes, provide local jobs, remove the largest product from the Mexican Drug Cartels’ menu, and be the green gateway to hemp’s industrial uses.   As a legal patient I will redirect the District Attorney, to become a citizen’s Attorney –working to lower your gas prices, insurance, healthcare, water, and utility rates.  Then she will be told to protect medical Marijuana patients in pain, and stop harassing dispensaries.   She needs to prosecute more murderers, rapists, and illegal aliens--not medical patients.  I’m running for Mayor because it’s time to change the water in the bong at City Hall.

4.  As Mayor, how will you treat dispensaries?

Marijuana dispensaries should welcomed in the City, as any other pain reliever or physician.   I earlier spoke to the City Council (on YouTube), urging their vote.  The 600 foot limit (from schools, parks, etc.) is fairer than the 1000 foot limit.  We also need clear medical advice for a product priced like gold: What’s the best medicine and dosage for pain, depression, neuropathy, AIDS, cancer, or specific diseases?  We should write  a diagnostic manual.
