Proposition 65 Now Protects Stoners

By Bruce Nye

    Dude.  Two and one half years of CalBizLit, and finally, our first marijuana story.   I go away for a three day weekend and what happens?  California's Cancer Identification Committee lists marijuana smoke as a carcinogen.  Twelve months from now, look to see the Proposition 65 safe harbor warning on those baggies.

    The San Jose Mercury News quotes NORML's Allen St. Pierre:  "This will be a vexing series of conversations and negotiations."  Ya think?  Per the Merc, "St. Pierre believes it may accelerate what he calls the "pharmaceuticalization" of the drug: marijuana pills, arm patches, under-tongue sprays and suppositories," as well as vaporizors. 

    I love California, I really do.  But this is the second post in a week that feels like "Through the Looking Glass."
