Kathryn Barger, Santa Clarita's County Supervisor, is proposing a moratorium on marijuana cultivation, manufacture, retail sale and other pot-related endeavors, like the kind the city has enacted — this one to apply to unincorporated areas of the county "until the County adopts a comprehensive...

Sacramento - Should police officers be able to use a controversial spit test to see if they believe drivers are high? Should billboards advertising pot shops be allowed on state highways? Should marijuana business owners have to drive hundreds of miles with their trunks full of cash to pay...

American Canyon has extended its temporary ban on outdoor cultivation and other activities related to recreational marijuana, giving city planners – and possibly others in Napa County – time to decide on a collective way to address the issue. The city council last month approved a 45-day...

Many medical marijuana patients were worried that a ballot measure legalizing cannabis for recreational use in California would make the price of their medicine go up. Instead, for some, pot got cheaper — though maybe not for long. The state Board of Equalization recently sent notice that...

Cannabis users and advocates rejoiced last week after the passage of Proposition 64 legalized the adult recreational use of marijuana, celebrating the end of government-enforced misery for otherwise law-abiding adults who just want to toke up. The people in Mendocino County charged with...

Arizonans will have to travel if they want to legally consume recreational marijuana after voters rejected Proposition 205 on Tuesday. Nearly 52 percent of voters declined to legalize recreational-use marijuana. Prop 205 would have allowed the consumption, possession and purchase of cannabis...

Marijuana legalization has apparently failed in Arizona, with uncounted votes unlikely to turn the defeat into victory as they did with the state's medical-marijuana measure in 2010. As evidence mounts that the gulf between the "no" and "yes" votes on Prop 205 is too vast for the measure to...
