7:47 am
this weekend a new twist to the medical marijuana debate. district attorney has halted raids on south bay medical matter mayor dispensaries. but the question is will the decision to clarify make medical marijuana policies any clearer? let's ask our political analyst. what is going to clear up the confusion here? i think almost everybody is confused about this. >> clear up the smoke? >> exactly. let's clear the haze.
7:48 am
>> it's a mess. rosen's solution may temporarily solve it, but the fact is it's only part of the issue. there are three levels of government that all have their mitts in this whole medical marijuana question. federal, state and local. and that's where the mist begins. each has different needs, different objectives, different responsibilities for that matter. and as that happens, they tend to clash. and it's the worst, it's the worst at the local level. where each county, each city has a different way of dealing with this. and right now, its eye kind of like no man's land. they're all doing it different ways and that's creating great confusion. >> you said jeff rosen is looking for clarification and i think last week or so, the d.a. in alameda county said i'm no longer into to go advise on this. at the local level, even the folks front hines, what's the biggest problem on the local level? >> probably three that you want to look at.
7:49 am
first of all, regulation. nobody likes regulation, right? the fact is how many dispensaries should there be in a given area. where. what kind of background checks if any should there be of those people who are operating these dispensaries. what kind of operating hours. 24/7, hours where you're going to attract fewer people? all of these things. that's the first. second, taxation. what should these businesses pay to rate. after all, they're the beneficiaries of city and county services, so what share do they pay. and local governments are hungry for revenues right now. and finally, in whole question of crop cultivation. should cities allow the cooperatives to grow mayor pair which ultimately goes to sale and tax them for that, as well. well that's a problem, too. the federal government says no. oakland of course said yes. you got to get some clarity. >> i think even people who are
7:50 am
proponents of medical marijuana think that it's just too much of a mess. >> it is because first of all they have huge legal bills. they have no idea what's going on. the governments locally change their minds every day. they're caught. on the one hand, they really don't like the idea of these things in too great of numbers. on the other hand, they, the local governments, desperately want the taxation from them. and so a number of cities locally have passed laws providing for that opportunity. so you can't have your cake and eat it as we say. well, that's the problem with this issue. >> and i've been surprised driving around how many there are. once you start looking for -- a lot of them have that little green like the red cross emblem but it's green. they are everywhere and they're really close to schools and day cares. and i thought that was part of the problem, that we didn't want to see it cropping over. so how do we get to a point where we have a little bit more clarity? >> a country he wiple ways to l. you might deal with it at a
7:51 am
federal level. at least they could set stand dash tan sda standards. for the moment, 15 states have it. if the feds set the rule, then everybody might know what's going on the same way. right now you can get on a plane in a medical marijuana legal state, okay, with your prescription, if i can use that term, and get off at a nonmarijuana state and be arrested. so you got to see whether the feds can actually set the same rules. if they do that, that might help. >> and then what about if we don't go with the fed, at the federal level, and we decide maybe as a state, as california, we should say this is how we're going to do it, would that solve the problem? >> short tell, that's probably going to be an easier thing to do. on a state by state basis, it doesn't shove the problem we just tacked about, but at least statewide you might get yourself
7:52 am
shall sort of consistency. the problem at the state level is the state has to look at the local governments which by the way in the constitution, if i can get walkish for a second, the constitution does not recognize local government. nowhere in there. so they fall under the jurisdiction of the state. so if you get the state to go ahead and say, okay, these are the conditions under which you can sell it, these are the hours in which stores may be open, these are the qualifications we have for people who go ahead and do that, state passes those kind of what yous all the time. that might at least bring clarification to the hole level and allow both merchants, patients, and governments to have a sense as to how things work. >> and figure things out before they start to -- >> until that harngs we'll see all kinds of lawsuit, we'll see lots of arrests. we're going to see institutions

that are really flooded with responsibility for providing police protection, district attorney investigations. a lot of he's ax payer money until the situation gets settled. so everybody has it in their interests to get it settled whether you're for this stuff or against the stuff. clarification need very badly. >> thank you very much, larry. we'll be right back.
