Will Lake Forest Pot Shop Ban Go Up in Smoke?

Imagine of the State Supreme Court sides with the pot dispensaries and once and for all rules that pot dispensaries are legal? Lake Forest has spent what? $2M fighting these dispensaries? wow. Talk about mud on the face. Would this mean that Lake Forest would also have to pay for the dispensaries legal fees? wow. God only knows how much that would be. IF this is decided in favor of the dispensaries maybe it's time for the City of Lake Forest to fire the current City Attorney and appoint another one like Anaheim has done. First LF had the illegal day laborer thing. How much was spent on that? Aren't day laborers still there? Then there were the pot dispensaries. Then there was the sex offender park ban that was rescinded and made the City look foolish. At some point one a reasonable person has to start wondering whether the City has competent legal counsel? These are potentially big dollar cases. Instead of jumping into these legal fires head first why not maintain a safe distance and let other cities rush in with reckless abandon and let them spend their money to fight this stuff and watch their outcomes? Isn't that a more reasonable approach? Bizarre.

No, Muzzy. You don't get it. They know it has medical value. The medical literature proves that. The reason it remains illegal and a Class One narcotic (without medical value) is because there's much more money in it for them as an illegal substance than as a legal substance. It's that easy. Let's no complicate it.
