Calif. - In a more-perfect world, a patient with a serious condition treatable by marijuana would obtain a prescription -- not a doctor's note or nod -- and have it filled at Tuttle's or Longs.
As we await that evolutionary state we're stuck in a hazy intermediate stage that fosters cannabis clubs such as the one on Sonoma Avenue, a stone's throw from Santa Rosa City Hall, a park and a grammar school.
At these clubs, the needs of legitimate patients are overshadowed by the inevitable comings and goings of fakers, rip-offs, dealers and recreational pot-heads. Clearly the clubs are anachronisms simply filling a void until prescribed cannabis can be gotten the same way as antibiotics, Vicodin, Xanax or Zocor.
In the meantime, if you're running a club, do us all a favor and chase away the riff-raff and concentrate on the ailing people who truly need your product to get through the day.
And if you're a neighbor of a club who doesn't like what you see and smell and you hope the city or county will act, be vigilant and keep good notes.
