The only reason the media covered the protest was because camera crews were there for another reason and some opportunistic patients buttonholed them. Whoever the news editors are decided to air our little protest because they thought it was entertaining enough.

I try mightily to not be judgmental about a patient's non-appearance at a political protest. There are many good reasons for not attending. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole dispensary system that has evolved in LA is in serious jeopardy. I don't think it is alarmist to believe this. If you think many of us are running around like Chicken Little, then by all means ignore all the issues and stay home waiting for our good public servants to do the right thing. NOT.
