Something Someone Else Said

"The mayor will have to hash this out with public health officials. It's the mayor's job to weed out bad legislation. And to be blunt, this sounds pretty bad." -Nathan Ballard, spokesperson for Mayor Gavin Newsom's office on a proposal that would make San Francisco the first city in the nation to sell and distribute medical marijuana.

I managed a medical cannabis dispensary in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood for a while a few years back. The city's government was one of the most responsive and open-minded I dealt with during my time working in that rarefied field.
