Re: “San Diego Mayor Bob Filner Comes Out Swinging for Medical Marijuana”

With the election of Bob Filner as Mayor--a hard fought battle down to the wire--sanity seems to be prevailing finally. With a friend in the Mayor's office, perhaps legal medicinal dispensaries can open again and serve the needs of the ill and infirm.
