This guy takes the cake. He wants to shut down this Culver City business because they’re making a profit and don’t live up to his 60s Utopian dream:
Whatever, Mr. Hippie Gestapo. You and health care reform. It’s Big Government like you that’s gonna make the Democrats fall this November.
We cringe.
Wow. A remarkably accurate summation of the article, coherently addressing all the points involved. You could work as a journalist. Really.
Are you high?
ETA: that was addressed to the OP.
IMHO, which when it comes to matters legal is basically worthless, seems like the judge is properly enforcing the rules as they are laid out in the legislation.
If you want the store fronts to operate like a normal business, then work to push through a revision to the way the law is written.
Umm…he thinks that the law says they’re only allowed to grow and share the weed as a collective. But instead they’re selling it.
How is this any different from anything else that allows for “home use” of something that becomes illegal if you distribute it?

?No. I’m just one of those high school students Trutanich recruited, working on my civics homework.
It is my current belief that no one in the pit makes any sense atall.
Judge wants to shut down pot shop? You’re right, it’s like the Shoah meets the Killing Fields in one of Stalin’s gulags!
Oh yeah? Well, my turtle squeals green cauliflower!

Look, i think that California’s restrictions on the growing and distribution of medical marijuana should be relaxed, and i think that some of the attempts to shut down these places rest on an excessively stringent reading of the law itself.
But the fact is that, like it or not, California’s law regarding medical marijuana growth and distribution requires that the dispensaries operate as non-profit entities, and that they need to be organized as collectives or cooperatives.
Here’s what CA NORML has to say about the issue:
As that website notes, some jurisdictions are stricter than others in their interpretations of the state laws, and in fact there are disagreements among different District Attorneys and other legal authorities over exactly what the laws do and do not allow, but to summarize this incident as just some judge wanting to prevent a free market business from living the American dream is asinine.
Personally, i think marijuana should be legal, period. And even if that doesn’t happen, i think that California should relax the restrictions on medical marijuana dispenaries. We have one operating just down the street from our place, and it causes absolutely no trouble in the neighborhood.
But the problem described in the OP’s article is a result of state laws that are vaguely written, as well as local authorities that don’t like the idea of marijuana dispensaries, and are doing whatever they can to shut them down.
OP is upset
Judge hates the marijuana
Its, like, so unfair.
Why would a Nazi judge force communism on anybody?
If you can do this in a sestina, I’d be impressed.
So he can shoot them for being communists! Das duh!
Those pesky Nazi’s and their love of communism. :rolleyes:
Danm, knew I should have hit submit before taking a hit from that bong.
Because he likes the sound the Stukas make when they whoosh the commies.
Apart from the words “Nazi” and “communism”. I’d substitute “Los Angeles” and “collectivism” for those two emotionally laden words, if I were a sub-editor.
And why would a hippie judge be against marijuana?
