KAMALA HARRIS NEEDS TO SPEAK UP ON MEDICINAL POT

As the Obama administration escalates its threats to crack down on
California's medical marijuana dispensaries, two voices have been
conspicuously silent: state Attorney General Kamala Harris and Gov.
Jerry Brown, her predecessor.

Is she going to vigorously defend the dispensaries if the feds
attempt to shut them down? Does she agree with the U.S. attorneys
that some of them are not only in violation of federal law but also
are criminal enterprises that break even the state's lax guidelines -
and, if so, why hasn't the state's top prosecutor done anything about them?

If the state's laws on medical marijuana are more than a bit
amorphous - as Harris the candidate acknowledged - then when is she
going to go to the Legislature to advocate for tighter and more
consistent state rules?

We asked the attorney general's office for her reaction when the
crackdowns were announced on Oct. 7. We've been waiting, and waiting,
for a response. Are she and Brown going to lead, or wait for the feds
to run out of patience?
