From the Sacramento Bee:
Running to become California’s top law enforcement officer, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris said Tuesday she supports regulating medicinal marijuana dispensaries but not allowing cannabis sale for recreational use.
Harris, meeting with The Bee’s Capitol Bureau, said she does not support efforts by San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, to permit marijuana to be sold and taxed much like liquor.
One of six Democratic candidates for attorney general, Harris said recreational sales would just create new headaches for a beleaguered system that needs to better regulate medical marijuana dispensaries and to assist nonviolent drug offenders.
