Record Searchlight, 19 Feb 2012 - As a retired detective, I heartily agree with your proposal (editorial, Sunday) to legalize/regulate marijuana. Marijuana has always been too dangerous a drug to leave its production in the hands of criminals and its retail sales in the hands of our teenagers. It should be given the same laws and respect as beer. As my profession continues to shrink in California, we must focus on public safety crimes like rape, robbery, murder, etc. If anyone develops an addiction to marijuana, see a doctor.

Sacramento News & Review, 16 Feb 2012 - Grassroots Effort Aims to Legalize Pot Clubs Once Again Remember last summer?

San Francisco Examiner, 17 Feb 2012 - It's not easy to open a medical cannabis dispensary in San Francisco, but it's very easy for patients to purchase their medicine from the comfort of home - even if the service is illegal. Delivery services operating in seeming violation of city law advertise in print and on the Web, and operate in full knowledge of city officials, who say their hands are tied.

Los Angeles Daily News, 16 Feb 2012 - What part of a court ruling on medical marijuana collectives doesn't the Long Beach City Council get? Apparently council members don't quite grasp that under a state appeals court ruling cities can ban medical marijuana outlets but can't allow them through a permitting process like the ones Long Beach and Los Angeles use.

Spartan Daily, 14 Feb 2012 - San Jose City Council members repealed Ordinance No. 28960, which included regulations of medical marijuana collectives and individual use of marijuana, at Tuesday's meeting.

The Press Democrat, 15 Feb 2012 - A Healdsburg man whose marijuana was stolen in a home-invasion robbery will be allowed to seek restitution to treat post-traumatic stress disorder but not to cover his lost pot.

New Times, 09 Feb 2012 - Say, do you plan to vote in the primary elections? I'm voting for Ron Paul, a Republican. We have open primaries in California, so anyone can vote for any party. He wants to legalize all drugs! He's got my vote.

Record Searchlight, 12 Feb 2012 - Sgt. Barry Powell didn't come out and say that Shasta County's new marijuana-growing ordinance will make foresters' lives more dangerous. But that's the clear implication from the outline of trends the head of the county's Marijuana Eradication Team gave Thursday to the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference.
