For those of you who recently spent time at the voter registration tables on the Chico State University campus, you will have noticed many brochures and fliers supporting Proposition 215, the initiative proposed to legalize marijuana for medical treatment. Concerned supporters and organizations throughout California are working to publicize Proposition 215 widely across the state before its appearance on the state ballot Nov. 5.
Opponents say the proposition is loosely written and full of loopholes.
If passed, they say the proposition could lead the way to full legalization of marijuana. If passed, Proposition 215 will permit licensed physicians to recommend medical marijuana for the treatment of their patients. Malcolm said he strongly believes that victims of cancer, glaucoma, AIDS, and other painful illness should be relieved of their pain. For the first time, the Governor cannot veto this bill. Goldsberry explained that medical marijuana had been proposed two previous times by legislators.
