49. I hated him before his scandles

Nov 5

He gave our Medical Cannibis industry to out of state corporations after strangling the initial program with restrictive regulations and a miserly super restrictive list of conditions allowed into the program. F or personal example THC protects nerves and the brain itself from damage due to hypoxia, that is the textbook opposite of a toxin. It also has no lethal dose. So after being part of the lobbying through the Drug Policy Alliance the only way any diabetic could enter the program was for severe untreatable chronic pain, or after already suffering neuroapthy. It could protect against it, but he decided to make "the strictist most regulated medical cannabis program" in the USA. He was only considering his future ambitions and future campaign donations.

On the good side he did Jawbone Verizon, Spectrum, and Cable Vision to offer affordable internet to a few groups, including any family with kids on the school lunch program, even the reduced price list.
