Is California AG Burning The Medical Marijuana Community?

[DreamSmoker]

In her bid to defeat Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley for the job of California's top cop, then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris got the support of the state's medical marijuana community -- not so much because she was great, but because Cooley royally sucks ass.

In a rare show of unity (unlike what happened with pot legalization initiative Prop 19), the state's marijuana activists seemed to all agree on an "Anybody But Cooley" campaign. That effort may well have been the difference between the two candidates last fall, as less than 80,000 votes separated the victorious Harris from Cooley. There are 750,000 medical marijuana patients in California.

But, as pointed out by Chris Roberts at LA Weekly, if Harris feels any gratitude for the support of the medical marijuana community, she's doing a good job of hiding it.
