Part of the measure approved for the ballot by the Berkeley City Council: Companies who run pot cultivation sites must agree to give free pot to "low income users".

Officials in Berkeley and Long Beach also are moving take the mystery out of medical marijuana production.
The Berkeley City Council last week approved a measure for the November ballot that would authorize the city to license and tax six pot cultivation sites. Companies running the facilities must agree to give away some pot to low-income users, employ organic gardening methods to the extent possible and offset in some way the large amount of electricity needed to grow weed.
The article is interesting in that small medical marijuana producers are complaining they're about to get squeezed out the burgeoning medical marijuana market by mass-market marijuana producers.
