“The bankrupt California city of San Bernardino has a new idea for raising revenue – legalize medical marijuana. Ironically, the plan was spurred by concerns about not having enough resources to crack down on the illegal medical marijuana dealers springing up all over town. So the city is now looking at legalizing the sellers, and using tax proceeds to enforce the regulations. Police have reported as many as 20 illegal storefronts in town at any given time, said the city attorney. ‘We have in this city a proliferation – and a lot of cities in California are experiencing it – of illegal medical marijuana dispensaries. These people are defiant and they are opening up these things right and left.'”
