Wow, Val Lerch--the voice of reason! You have done our community a great service, sir. I'll be paying attention to this politician!

Tony, what meds are you forgetting to take?

Re: LongBeachReport.com | LBReport.com | Gregory Moore Opinion: Caution Advised Before Inhaling Draft Medical Marijuana Ordinance As Proposed

haha! I just came here after reading the District's story about Gerrie Shipske, where I left the commment...are there even any dispensaries in her district!

To the toad, who raises a question I hadn't considered: are you saying that the city sees collectives and dispensaries differently? That it is just collectives they are regulating more strictly?

Sounds like it's time for Medical Marijuana supporters to deluge Gerrie's office with some phone calls showing support.

Are there even any dispensaries in her district?

I have an idea--How bout a list of all the old farts in city hall who use Viagra? Just as a public service warning for us ladies.

There is no good reason what so ever for the city to take names and pictures. The doctors already do this when you get your prescription. One big reason is that a patient may only use their prescription a short time and then never again. Why should their name make it to any kind of list, especially a public one?

Placing a limitation on edibles shows a lack of understanding about the use of marijuana as medicine. Doctors actually recommend to patients not to smoke as it increases other health risks. Patients are encouraged to use edibles and lotions (for arthritis) rather than always relying on inhalation. Also some patients are unable to or deeply opposed to smoking.

Really, beyond an an appropriate business license, no additional regulations are required for dispensaries. City of LB needs to respect patient privacy rights.

Tony, have you ever watched a loved one slowly die of the horrible side effects of chemotherapy? Because I have. Sometimes, it's not the cancer that kills, but the fact that the treatment makes the patient nauseous and unable to eat for weeks at a time. Have you ever watched a robust person drop nearly all their body weight over six months because they couldn't eat a bite? Held their hand for more than a year through awful treatments, only to watch them die anyway?

Have you ever experienced the joy of watching that loved one dive into one of their last meals with gusto--all because of a bong hit? Because I have.

We are talking about using marijuana as medicine here.

Jesus taught compassion. Think about it. There is nothing delinquent or dangerous about a person using marijuana to relieve medical conditions--small and large.

Calling marijuana evil is plain old dumb.

I think you may be missing my point. I get my calls answered when I call 911. Due to various unfortunate events in my life recently I have called 911 from my cell phone three times in the last month. I have been answered, put directly through to LB dispatch, and had good response time from all LB services every time.

(Just so you know one of those calls was for a downed homeless guy, and the paramedics were there in moments. It was taken very seriously.)

It must depend upon what part of town you live in. In Los Altos, if you call 911, you will get 7 cars, 12 officers, and a k-9 unit in less than 5 minutes. Overkill?
Yes. But I like it.

Maybe the cops just like to take the more safe and predictible calls, rather than dealing with drunk asses on 2nd.

Me and my friends won't vote for any politician who stands in the way of a person's right to choose the kind of medication they feel is most effective.

Tony, the joke will be on you when it turns out God gave us marijuana as a gift because of its wonderful medicinal properties and in reality, the real reason he sends people to hell-- what he considers real evil-- is for practicing intolerance and hatred.

oh, and though it's completely irrelevant--I have kids.

Since the cops don't even have a suspect this comment will be hard to prove.

The PT definitely has an explicit POV.

Therefore I am agreeing with Mr. Reuhle here.
