IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY, NOT MEDICINE

Calling all pot growers (whether you are a career or sidelines
grower). Let's see a show of hands. How many of y'all voted for
Proposition 215, the medical marijuana ordinance? OK, good. Everybody
raised their hands. Now, how many of y'all voted for Proposition 19,
to legalize marijuana? What? Only myself and a few others have their
hands in the air. How's about that?

Some say money is the root of all evil. I say hypocrisy is the root
of all insanity. For those who have eyes to see, it is evident that
growing marijuana has always been about the money, not the medicine.

Thank you, Board of Supervisors, for passing the marijuana ordinance.
