| Medical Marijuana, Grow It On Vacant Lots In City |
| My Desert - March 15th, 2009 |
We are a tourist city and our city needs help. Why not use one of the many vacant lots in downtown Palm Springs as a site for growing medical marijuana? A display like that would be an incredible tourist attraction. Under state law medical marijuana is legal and no longer of interest to the federal government. If someone complains just tell them it's legal and to get over it. Security would be a requirement. |

I read with interest the guest commentary written by F. Aaron Smith regarding the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's policies on medical marijuana. (Re: "Medical pot policy needs change," Feb. 2.) As incoming sheriff, I will take the opportunity to review our practices and policies in regard to a number of issues. I appreciate Mr. Smith's opinion, and as a public servant, value any citizen's input when it comes to how we do our job. |

I just need to smoke because I have health problems — and that’s it.” |
| Medical Pot Policy Needs Change |
| San Bernardino Sun - February 1st, 2009 |
Not everyone in San Bernardino was saddened by the news of Sheriff Gary Penrod's retirement. In particular, suffering patients who rely on medical marijuana are relieved to see Penrod step down.

Penrod's justification was that his department couldn't follow the state's ... |
