All of the policymakers and most of the stakeholders I've spoken with are divided not over whether MJ will be regulated, but on what form that regulation will take, what the right regulations are, and what is the minimal level of regulation that will ensure patient safety and orderly industry growth. There are a lot of opinions. There will be always be a fringe opposing all regulation, but they are to be dismissed as isolated cases... not elevated to "schism status." Either way, we're substantively in agreement.
Maybe I'm too far down the rabbit hole. Between SAFER, NORML, CTI, Sensible, COMMR, MMIG, the Marijuana Party, et al, I rarely see activists discussing common ground where there would appear to be a great deal. I suppose you're correct, though... there will always be the fringe.

Didn't Rob Corry also say he was going to fight 1284 in court because it was unconstitutional?
Rob did represent Lacy Lee, free of charge as far as I can tell, and she was acquitted last week. If you're looking for Rob to overturn 1284, that's going to take money. They also said they were going to work with Matt Cook to see if he could implement fixes to 1284. Since those rules aren't in place yet, maybe they're holding off and using some discretion instead of hitting the panic button?
