Jerry Brown looking for a Pot czar.

Edmond is looking for a Chief of Pot, other wise known as the head of the Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation, according to a report from the Sacramento Bee.

The job would entail everything from writing legislation for permits for growers, sellers, and buyers, to disciplinary actions for those that don't abide by the rules. They would also be the face of the bureau to media and consumers.

Why? Amendments to Bill SB1262-18102 add a position of "chief" or commissioner of pot to regulate the largely unregulated industry of medical marijuana.

It is a new area and largely unexplored as far as rules and regs are concerned. Hopefully we can avoid the patchwork of possibly conflicting laws.

They are late to the game and trying to catch up with other states and make money off of the industry.

Most cannabis consumers today don't give a hoot about hippies or 60's culture. In fact they were the poster boys for the prohibition movement. AIDS activists brought California medical marijuana, and allowed millions of Californians to come out of the shadows.
