True.
But there must be strict licensing standards. Drugs are as dangerous as guns. #marijuana, like #alcohol, can be abused & should not be used by young people. Studies show problems w/ mental health and developing minds - and early use of THC supercharged 420. @JaneParkerMC

In addition a number of entries into the marijuana game are people who couldn’t pass a basic background check. Forget the workers as the lobbyists have tried to portray it but the owners and other various sketchy entities that have risen up to enter the “legal” framework.

If the USA 🇺🇸 is to take a serious position in #corruption and the harm it does to #Democracy - then we need to have rigorous standards and tough regulations over this industry. My county and the largest county in @RepJimmyPanetta’s District is awash in public corruption.

The players in this industry, in my area, are convicted cocaine cowboys and other folks who have been under law enforcement scrutiny for a law time. The only thing keeping them from prison - is public corruption and the politicians that move mountains for these groups.

Jimmy Panetta has grown very close with several special interests in the marijuana business and his consultant #PlashaWill has taken in over $100,000 with her partner, former county supervisor Dave Potter.
That’s unusual.

#PlashaWill is the same consultant who lead Supervisor ‘Judge’ John Phillips’ campaign when he ran to replace another right winger - Lou ‘The Milkman’ Calcagno. Will is also on the payroll of the right wing #Salinas Valley Leadership Group while being portrayed by local

media either •not at all• or as a consultant who ‘rarely’ works for Republicans.
The con on the District 20 voters is a long time in the making and shrouded in a local government that is largely anti-transparency - by design.
The joke is on the people, the constituents.
