There use to be a law in fla. that allowed the use of this plant. They are cracking down for no good reason. If people are in pain, you aught to be able to use what works. If we would legalize it, and tax it, guaranteed we'd be out of national debt. Prohibition didn't work eithor, and neithor will this war on Pot. It's all about money and greed. There needs to be sensible ways of dealing with the whole situation. I can't induldge down here, because our governor, has made war, and decided all those on medicare/medicaid need to get tested. He has now been sued on a state level. I am sorry they are giving you trouble in Ca. the whole issue should be built around compassion for those that hurt. It is a plant, people should be able to use it. It is not addictive, nor does it lead to harder drugs. Think about what they said about drinking during prohibition. I have cronic pain, and I would if I could. ginnie
