San Mateo to Draft Pot Laws
October 17th, 2008 by Perry
San Mateo city officials are pondering instituting a city code for marijuana growers, co-ops and patients, to address gaps left by the proposition that made medical marijuana legal in the California 12 years ago. The decision comes more than a year after three dispensaries were shut down in a raid involving local police officers and federal agents.
Following last years raids, law enforcement officials claimed the clubs were not acting as collectives. Owners and directors of the clubs argued they are collectives because members are pooling their money for marijuana, providing a safe place to buy it and access to resources about using it.
Whether or not San Mateo legislates the pot clubs, at least addressing the issue is a good first step.
