A small house in Little Compton, Rhode Island was filled
with Marijuana. One suspect had a medical marijuana caregiver card to care for
a sick friend. But there was way more marijuana than the patient would ever
need. One suspect sold to an undercover police officer, looking to make a
profit. Police have noticed this pattern all over America where people are
helping the sick ones but they are growing more to sell and make money. Kevin O’Brien
says he doesn’t know who the good guys and the bad guys are. They don’t know who
are the drug dealers are or the patients. Peter Kilmartin, an Attorney General,
wants to back a bill that eliminates the loopholes in the system. He thinks
people should not be given a caregiver card unless they have had a background
check. Joanne Leppanen, a supporter of medical marijuana patients, says it’s frustrating
to see people abuse the program. There are about 7,600 patients and 3,500
caregivers statewide in Rhode Island.
interesting blog Jibbs!
ReplyDeleteI agree they should be given background checks before getting a caregiver card.
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking, I definitely think background checks should be required.
ReplyDeleteI agree, background checks should be mandatory. They would be very helpful and would eliminate many of the problems now.
ReplyDeleteI think back round checks would be a very helpful if required.
