San Jose City Council to Consider Medical Marijuana Ordinance:
As reported in the Mercury News last week
(San Jose committee mulls medicinal marijuana law - San Jose Mercury News), the San Jose City Council has begun an initial assessment of the issues involved with establishing a city law to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries:
"Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio proposed that the city approve regulations similar to those in other Bay Area cities that would allow a limited number of medicinal marijuana dispensaries in industrial areas; prohibit onsite use; and call for a $10,000 permit fee and 3 percent tax, the proceeds of which could support police and road maintenance."
California Cities and Counties Continue Debate on Dispensaries:
As reported in the Los Angeles Times
(Cities, counties no longer mellow about pot dispensaries -- latimes.com), about 120 California cities have banned medical marijuana dispensaries to date, while perhaps 30 cities have passed laws allowing dispensaries.
In Madera County (County offers medical marijuana card program), Public Health Director Carol Barney is now implementing the state-required medical marijuana ID card program. The County will maintain its ban on dispensaries, while simultaneously allowing patients to grow for personal use.
