Have another bong hit, idiot. You didn't see the "60 Minutes" expose on "medical" marijuana? You are either incredibly stupid or myopic. Are you saying that all this billions of dollars of grass is going to AIDS/cancer patients? There must be hundreds of millions of cases we are unaware of at this point. WAKE UP!!!

Yes, I did see that 60 Minutes segment.
I know the 'reverend' Scott Imler. He's a liar, and has been pretty much outed for years as a snitch and government tool. He's also an egotist who falsely claims to have authored prop 215. He has personally attempted to deceive me.
For those of you who aren't familiar, he's the snitch who turned in Peter McWilliams, Todd McCormick, and Renee Boje some years back.
Peter pretty much proved that before he died (drowning in his own vomit because the 'replacement' drugs didn't quite work right, and he was prohibited from using pot while out on bail).
You can't really blame Scott, though. They have him over a barrel since the only thing that keeps him from going into seizures over and over is the medical marijuana he uses. The feds (reportedly) threatened to leave him rot in a cell through a few and he caved.
You should never take anything that man says at face value. He's bought and paid for.
That segment didn't reference any kind of impropriety going on in Mendocino county, anyway, as I recall.
It would be hard to extrapolate to a projection of the likelihood of something like what happens in Hollywood to what happens in Mendocino county. There are literally hundreds of dispensaries scattered all over metropolitan areas. There are three (?) here.
I'm guessing that the chances of that going on here, with people such as yourself watching, are slim to none.
You have to get some kind of Hollywood scene, where there are more dispensaries than people watching to give the scam artists room to operate.
But then it's really no different than any other kind of medical scam at that point. You jail them and move on.
You don't stop chiropractors just because a few scam Medicare, do you?

OK, people, here is proof from the wretch's own mouth (keyboard) that he is a liar. He is a professional marijuana lobbyist; knows all kinds of details about the personal lives of the people on both sides of the issue; and (here is the lie)he claims to live in Ukiah but does not know that we have only two dispensaries in Mendocino County?

ACCORDING TO A RECENT STORY IN THE WILLITS NEWS, SHERIFF TOM ALLMAN STATED THAT HE SUPPORTS “LEGITIMATE” MEDICAL MARIJUANA” AND OPPOSES “COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION AND SALES OF MARIJUANA”. SHERIFF ALLMAN, ELECTED BY MENDOCINO COUNTY VOTERS WENT ON TO SAY ““Violent crime investigating will remain our top priority. We do not and will not target small grows. We will continue to focus on large grows and complaints about growers who create a public nuisance, endanger public safety or trash the environment”
CRIME WILL INCREASE AS MARIJUANA BECOMES LESS AVAILABLE AND MORE VALUABLE!
WE AT THE MENDOCINO MOUNT GIVE SHERIFF ALLMAN OUR SUPPORT AND ENDORSEMENT. SHERIFF ALLMAN HAS BEEN A FOCAL POINT AND PUT IN A VERY INTERESTING POSITION BEING ELECTED SHERIFF BY A POPULACE WHOSE MAIN REVENUE IN MENDOCINO COUNTY COMES FROM THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR UNDERGROUND MARIJUANA MARKET.
ELECTED POLITICIANS WHO HAVE FAILED TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF MENDOCINO COUNTIES MARIJUANA INDUSTRY ON THE LOCAL ECONOMY HAVE RARELY BEEN RE-ELECTED. THE SHERIFF ALSO BEING AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, WHO WORKS FOR THE COUNTY OF MENDOCINO AND IS ELECTED BY THE VOTERS OF MENDOCINO COUNTY, MUST FOLLOW THE LAWS ELECTED BY THE VOTERS OF MENDOCINO COUNTY. BEING THAT THE LOCAL POPULACE SUPPORTS DECRIMINALIZATION OF MARIJUANA, AS MEASURE G PROVED, IN GENERAL, IT HAS PUT SHERIFF ALLMAN AS WELL AS PREVIOUS SHERIFF’S IN MENDOCINO COUNTY, IN AN INTERESTING SITUATION.
IN MENDOCINO, THE SHERIFFS BUSTS OF LARGE MARIJUANA GROWS, KEEP THE PRICES HIGH FOR THE SMALLER MEDICAL GROWERS WHO OFTEN SALE THEIR EXCESS PRODUCT TO CANNIBIS CLUBS FOR PATIENTS UNABLE TO GROW IN THE CITIES TO THE SOUTH.
MANY GROWERS IN MENDOCINO COUNTY ACTUALLY SUPPORT MEASURE B, BECAUSE IT WILL AD TO THE PROFITS OF ILLEGAL GROWERS WHO CARELESS IF MEASURE B PASSES OR NOT! SEE IF MEASURE B PASSES, THE PRICES WILL INCREASE FOR MARIJUANA, SINCE THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND ALSO AFFECTS THE MARIJUANA TRADE, LESS AVAILABLE MARIJUANA WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF MARIJUANA ADDING TO THE CRIME ASSOCIATED WITH MARIJUANA AS THE PRODUCT BECOMES LESS AVAILABLE AND MORE VALUABLE.
“SHERIFF ALLMAN WENT ON TO SAY IN THE ARTICLE,“Although I will not take a position on Measure B, I will say Mendocino County will be a better spot when marijuana is not on the front page every day,” ALTHOUGH WE SUPPORT SHERIFF ALLMAN, WE DON’T THINK THERE WIOLL EVER BE A TIME WHERE MARIJUANA ISN’T ON THE FRONT PAGE IN MENDOCINO COUNTY. PEOPLE LOVE MARIJUANA WAY TOO MUCH HERE!
