Local voters strongly approved the recreational use of marijuana when they voted “yes” in big numbers for Proposition 64, last November. "We think the voters have spoken quite clearly on this and that county supervisors are simply going against the will of the voters here," said Virginia Falces, communications director for Outco, a local medical marijuana company. Falces says the local cannabis industry, along with its suppliers and customers, will work to elect new board members who support medical marijuana and who will be open to the recreational sale of cannabis. He has not opposed the sale of medical marijuana and Falces says her industry wants to be sure his replacement is at least as committed as Roberts to allowing the sale of those products. Fifth district incumbent Bill Horn is also "termed out." Horn has opposed the sale of cannabis in any form, so the election of a pro-cannabis candidate in district five could be a political game-changer in San Diego County. Hopefully, that person exists.” Falces says marijuana advocates will interview district five candidates and invite them to tour the company's marijuana growing and distribution center, where they’ll see agricultural and research experts at work. “They’ll see that we produce a very consistent and very clean product that you don't see on the black market or the illegal market." Even though voters legalized marijuana last November, cities and counties can still regulate or even prohibit sale of the drug. That's why Falces says marijuana will continue to be an issue in local elections, and why the votes of both supporters and opponents of cannabis sales are important.

. It turns out that there is an alleged scholarly basis for this bogus belief, namely, that the Hebrew words qaneh-bosem in Exod 30:23 refer to marijuana, or, more specifically, hemp. The Holy Oil of God is illegal to obtain today!! But it was also a hippie paradise, since the whole place smelled like pot. Note first that qaneh-bosem is two words in Hebrew, not one. It is also certain, for various phonetic and linguistic reasons, that the word cannabis, which comes from the Greek kannabis, is not related to these two Hebrew words. Second, pot today is far more potent than when I smoked it more than 46 years ago. In any case, people will have to sort out the question of smoking pot, just as they sort out the question of drinking.
