MMJ Club Requests City Approval for Bakery
December 18th, 2008 by Perry
Lisa Molyneux, a Santa Cruz dispensary owner, recently requested a zoning permission which would allow her to build a different sort of bakery.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that Molyneux’s intention is to produce baked goods with THC and sell them next door at her dispensary. She said it would allow her to better control the conditions and the THC concentration of the baked goods she sells.
The owner’s plans are expected to be approved, as even the local police, which initially argued against the dispensary being allowed — the first of its kind in the county when it opened three years ago — are now in support of her efforts.
Landmark Medicinal Marijuana Decision
September 16th, 2008 by Perry
So of course it happened in Santa Cruz, the Amsterdam of California, but a significant battle was won for medicinal marijuana users nevertheless.
A federal judge ruled the actions against the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana by federal law enforcement agencies was unconstitutional. Judge Jeremy Fogel found the group was being harassed by the agencies, who were in violation of the 10th amendment by targeting the group. (The 10th amendment basically states powers not given to the federal government are given to the states to decide.) This also opens the door to allow a law suit by WAMM, the ACLU and Santa Cruz city officials to proceed against the federal government.
Go WAMM.
