yet the president failed to address drug laws seriously during his recent town hall. By Grant Smith April 7 2009. But instead of seriously answering the thousands of questions submitted by Americans on overhauling our failed drug laws he joked about the issue.
San Mateo council passes medical marijuana ordinance
San Jose Mercury News
Under the ordinance collectives of patients and their caregivers who grow and store medical pot must register with the city and obtain a license from the police department with all members providing their names addresses and phone numbers. Licensed collectives must be located only in the city’s manufacturing and commercial zones at least 500 feet from schools recreation and youth centers. The ordinance states that collective members must grow marijuana indoors and provide adequate security. San Mateo residents who grow marijuana at home for their own use or for other people living at the house are not subject to these rules. Last month Americans for Safe Access spokesman Kris Hermes criticized the ordinance for requiring registration which he said could imperil patients. However some patients involved in collectives have said they prefer to grow pot in cities with clear rules. In 1996 Californians passed an initiative allowing seriously ill people to grow and use marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation.
