GOING AFTER POT WASTES RESOURCES

I am certainly relieved that our district attorney will be spending 
precious resources prosecuting medical marijuana dispensaries.

I am sure there is enormous wisdom in closing down taxpaying entities 
that have business reasons for not selling to minors and observing 
other regulations.

Instead, we can cut tax revenue and force sales back onto the black 
market, where there is no incentive to observe any regulations. 
Clearly a major public policy win.
