How is the Lompoc City Council going to control the legal distribution of marijuana in Lompoc? It’s big question.
Right now, it is totally out of control and on the street everywhere. You buy what the guy on the corner or in the back alley gives out for his fee. You have no idea what is in it or where it comes from. There is no quality control. Stupid people do stupid things.
So, the council is faced with trying to make it right. In doing so, they have become responsible for the safety of the drug for the user. The council becomes the FDA and the pharmacy, and is responsible for any quality failures.
Does the council have the funds to administer this kind of responsibility?
