SHIT LIKE THIS IS NOT HELPING OUR COMMUNITY EFFORTS TO MAKE CANNABIS ACCESSIBLE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.
OUR OPPONENTS LOVE THESE KIND OF STORIES.
Here in WA. state we have a case where a MM card holder got busted for some outrageous amount of cannabis growing , much more than is allowed by law, and just downright stupid . I have no sympathies for greedy people.:leaf:

I imagine she will not be a card holder for much longer.

I live in a state considering passing a med MJ law and intend to apply for a license to dispense if and when it passes. I was talking with a relative about it and actually said "what do you think I'm stupid enough to think it's a license to deal pot? No med MJ card, no pot, period."

I'll never understand what people are thinking when they risk their (and everyone else's) legal status by doing something like this.

It's unfortunate because as you said this is the kind of shit nay sayers look for to point their finger at and say "SEE WE TOLD YOU IT'S A BAD IDEA". The best thing the med MJ community can do is to distance itself from people like this. I have a tough time advocating punishment for any pot offense but I surely would not be speaking up to defend these people.

Oh boy, this is just one of many reasons why the general population will fight the legalization in every possible way they can. But also think ahead 110. Even if its use was to be legalized for medical patients (which it positively would be in my case)---authorities have already taken into consideration the repercussions. All too many would be questioning why, if it's ok for one with glaucoma, cancer, MS, etc. to partake, but it is it NOT okay for ME to as well? E.G....."I suffer from anxiety, general back pain, depression, menstrual cramps....the list is endless. "Authorities" have already approached this likelihood. They have no answers--no way of "justifying" one way or another how to measure anothers pain. Thus the charge: ILLEGAL. At least they make money that way--all the wrong people too I might add.
I just don't see any way to treat this other than to just ignore those who choose to smoke...period.
I don't feel any person should really be able to make a business out of it in all honesty. ****Unless, of course, they are amongst neighbors/friends who are unable to grow it. I just honestly believe it's wrong to criminalize a responsible adult who makes the conscientious choice one way or the other. We're talking about a SEED that in my belief was put here on this earth by a higher authority.
While I don't wish to fight those who may be able to open up business because of its legalization, I also don't wish to make it a political strife as to why others can't smoke. I do immensely believe that an age limit be put forth for its "legal" use. Responsible adults should be able to make this discernment on their own without control from the outside. I just don't know any "stoners" who are so obsessed with weed that they will sacrifice the most important things in life to obtain it. It is only those who are growing underground and in large operations I see going that route.
I'll end this by saying that woman was entirely irresponsible by using her medical need to hopefully ascertain her "right" to misuse by making an incredibly huge profit off of it.
In reality, where do you draw the line?

Funny thing is Zappa was a complete straight arrow. No drugs. All about the music. If you did drugs, you weren't in his band.
