Isn't Measure G already illegal?

To the Editor:

Hasn't our constitutional right to petition been denied by the clerk recorder being told not to count the the petition signatures of a petition?

If it is unconstitutional for the supervisors to direct law enforcement to raise priority of the enforcement of a law, would it not seem reasonable that it is unconstitutional for that same body to tell law enforcement to lower priority enforcement of that same law or not enforce state or federal law? Therefore, it seems Measure G would be invalid also.

How do you tax something that is illegal to sell under current law?

SB420 describes what a primary caregiver is, and under sec11366 and 11366.5 seems to make a dispensary illegal under current law.

I personally believe in compassionate use, and that legalization and taxation, much like alcohol is a better way than what is happening now.

If my interpretation of the Constitution or the letter of the law is flawed, please inform me as I am willing to learn.
