Most of the medical-marijuana laws that have been passed are completely unworkable for patients. Besides the fact that they exclude many legitimate patients, they also make it impossible for those patients they do include to maintain a supply.

They are written from the perspective of a recreational user, someone that smokes a little on weekends.

The fact is laws such as those in Washington and Oregon make being a patient more difficult, more risky, and more expensive than just buying it on the black market and paying the fine (if you get caught) for less than an ounce.

But don't say any of this is you want to get ahead in the movement, make some fast money, and be dubbed 'important' by people such as St. Pierre.

Let's talk about Canada. They have 4,000 exemptees who can't get their medicine legally.

Firstly, there's probably that many patients in Santa Cruz County alone, certainly in each of Santa Clara, San Francisco, Alameda ... and then there's Los Angeles.
