Sure, the same old voices will oppose such a move. The far right. THe Church, and the vast majority of the GOP.... Ah, let us not forget law enforcement. The folks who stand to lose the most if this happens. So naturally they will in all likelyhood have the loudest voice in opposition to SB 1458. Ever stop and wonder why all retired police chiefs & cops support medical cannabis? Why do they get it, yet their still working co-workers don't?....
You do realize in California - the opposition came cloaked under the guise of church and GOP but the drug dealers in the humble opinion I have heard were the ones who voted against it. Who knew dealers actually voted? The rumor was it would have cut pretty far into the cartels in no cal's profits. Even my conservative Catholic Republican brother and his entire family voted for it.
Maybe it's a good thing that the legislature is voting and not the general public. So how did the vote go yesterday?
