Jerry Brown a few years back was asked to comment on the drive to legalize recreational use of pot in California.The governor responded by indicating a “stoner state” may not be conducive to the California economy.Brown’s ultimate stance on a pending ballot measure drive to legalize the consumption of cannabis might end up being different but the point can’t be ignored. There are inherit risks with a workforce that is less than optimum in today’s competitive world even if every user simply “mellows” as the more starry-eyed proponents of unrestricted marijuana use claim.But perhaps more important is the pushback coming from the private sector and law enforcement that may make legal use of marijuana beyond medicinal purposes the equivalent of walking into the Brea Tar Pits for many people. And the dangers ironically are associated with the fans of universal marijuana who contend it is no different than smoking cigarettes or consuming alcohol.Democrat Jim Wood — an assemblyman from Healdsburg — has gotten his measure AB2300 out of the Assembly Judiciary Committee Monday on a 10-0 vote.AB2300 assures landlords would have the same authority to prohibit smoking medicinal pot in a rented residence as they now do with smoking tobacco cigarettes.
