Such a craven politician.
Like every other elected commissioner, they see the job as a springboard to higher office, but when they come into office realize just how uninterested most folks are in insurance matters….soooo they delve off into other areas, hoping for some positive PR…would so like to have someone ask this bozo exactly what regulating insurance has to do with pot going legal.
Would have thought that pols would have learned from Garamendi’s experience but as long as there is a Dem who needs a paying gig, they will gravitate to this job.
If you are in Ca, please don’t vote for this guy-he needs to be out of work and have to get a real job!

It appears someone already has. From the article: “Jones has been working to get more insurers into the market for insuring marijuana related businesses.”
Damn those dems for wanting states to govern themselves…. Oh well, those republicans are getting it right with big gov! big brother will intervene! next step, I assume, will be a federal healthcare law for all citizens..
They have studied ALL aspects of the US Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and Amendments thereto. Thus, their current stance on a dangerous substance is substantiated with legal facts and court rulings.
As should the federal courts. Say start with the institution of marriage which had traditionally been up to the states to regulate until recently? How about abortion should the folks on the federal bench let the states make decisions on this?
I understand why the commissioner condemns Jeff Session decision. All of the decisions made by the current person that occupies the white house and all the old rich selfish self serving people given positions they are either not qualified for or in Sessions case,, being racist and hating Obama made him qualified to run Justice department – or the injustice department. Colorado is a shining example TAX REVENUE THAT every state could benefit from. Education, health care, affordable housing all the things the Betsy, Republican Congress want to ignore or either undo… Colorado has the ability to take care of it’s residents.. PLEASE GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON SESSIONS WANTS TO GET ON HIS old broken down soap box and put his old nose in it. Simply due to the fact PRESIDENT OBAMA didn’t have a problem with states allowing legal use of marijuana.
If the current occupant of the white house and his little old band of not so merry men and women would stop with the LETS JUST TAKE APART PRESIDENT OBAMAS PRESIDENCY PIECE BY PIECE WHICH BY THE WAY WILL NOT INFLUENCE HISTORY OR THE FACT THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA DID AS MUCH AS HE COULD EVEN WITH THE PACT ALL OF THE RACIST CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN JOINED TOGETHER LIKE A GANG OF THUGS TO STOP ALL OF WHAT WAS ONLY INTENDED TO BE GOOD.
MY ADVISE TO SESSIONS IS TO THANK GOD AND ALL THE ELECT IN HEAVEN FOR THE FACT YOU HAVE BEEN ON THIS EARTH ALOT LONGER THAN YOU WILL REMAIN, TRY TO GET RIGHT WITH KARMA. THE LAST FACE YOU WILL SEE WHEN YOUR FINAL BREATH IS TAKEN IS PRESIDENT OBAMAS SMILING AT YOU.
Happy 2018
We live in a democracy. If you don’t like the Federal law, then change it. Hello?
Corer Booker? Elizabeth Warren? Any brave progressive want to push for some legislation?
(Oh, yeah. Pot is bad for young people and pushing for national legalization is a political loser.)
People haven’t been able to get their elected officials in the House/Senate to get a bill put forth that gets marijuana classified lower than a scheduled-1 drug, so I don’t know how you expect people to get them to legalize it even just for medicinal purposes. When the Federal Government is ignoring the will of the majority of their citizens, the only thing you can do is to try and get States to enact their own legislation.
Only stoners participated in polls that report a ‘majority’ of Americans want to stone anytime, any day, anywhere. Sensible people who want to keep their mental faculties throughout their golden years don’t want pot to be legalized.
What kind of reply was that? I was talking about medicinal marijuana, not those who want to use it recreationally any time, any day, any where.
Please go read much more good-erer next time before post reply to talk about thing I said not straw man argument you making (purposely written poorly for effect)
your words: ” I don’t know how you expect people to get them to legalize it…. EVEN JUST FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES”.
IF you’re ONLY referring to medical pot, why did you reference ‘legalizing it’ ? Your wording ends with “EVEN JUST FOR”, implying an unrestricted legalization of ANY POT, then pointing to the limited legalization of ONLY MEDICINAL.
You’re all over the place. Focus on one thing and I’ll reply to that.

LOL. The legal status of a plant will in no way affect the mental faculties of sensible people in their golden years. Stop whining to Big Government to protect you from a plant. If you don’t want to consume pot, don’t consume pot. Simple as that…
It’s not $&^@#$ wasted Billions of Dollars! Law enforcement officers get to keep their jobs and American citizens get to keep their acute mental faculties in their old age.
Right. If children get hurt because of wider utilization (See Colorado), who cares? If more people get addicted to marijuana (see Colorado) who cares? If children in the womb suffer brain damage because 20% of pregnant women use marijuana, who cares? If the black market for marijuana grows because every numb skull can grow pot in his garage, who cares?
PS California advocates for legalization are not telling us that tax collections will be 1/3 to 50% lower than originally estimated at the time voters approved legalization. Why? Seems the black market didn’t shrink in Colorado like the dopes (pot heads?) told us it would. Duh.

Big Pot has a lot of influence in California.
Psst; Agent! The current term is ‘Pot & Paraphernalia Industrial Complex’.

Good for Commissioner Jones. Washington DC bureaucrats should be required to study the 10th Amendment…
They have studied ALL aspects of the US Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and Amendments thereto. Thus, their current stance on a dangerous substance is substantiated with legal facts and court rulings.
More relevant; Washington should be required to obey Federal Laws. Here comes Sessions, to drive home that point.
As should the federal courts. Say start with the institution of marriage which had traditionally been up to the states to regulate until recently? How about abortion should the folks on the federal bench let the states make decisions on this?

I saw plenty of CAPS, and skimmed thru it all and saw ‘RACIST’ and stopped reading.

I am generally indifferent to pot legalization save for one overriding consideration… getting that tax revenue into the system.
Don’t forget about the billions of dollars saved the have been wasted enforcing the laws and incarceration, to little or no avail.
