Sacramento News & Review, 21 Feb 2013 – Do you think California will ever have a comprehensive statewide medical-cannabis law? – -Wonky Willie The short answer is yes. The long answer is no one knows what kind of legislation we will see. I was just talking to Don Duncan, the California director of Americans for Safe Access, and he told me that State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg really wants to do something, but no one really knows what that something will be. Many of the bigger dispensaries have teamed up with the lobbying pros at California Strategies and are pushing for the state to take a stronger hand in regulation. But there are no serious proposals yet. Last year, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano introduced a bill that would have allowed statewide sales, but he withdrew the bill after it sat around for a few months.
