Judge bars Tulare County from pulling pot
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, September, 15th 2011 by THCFinder
For the second time in less than a week, a judge has issued a restraining order to prevent Tulare County officials from pulling medical marijuana plants from a farm just north of Visalia.
 
Wednesday's order by Tulare County Superior Court Judge Paul Vortmann will remain in effect at least until Oct. 6, when another hearing on the case is scheduled.
 
His ruling came in response to an application for a restraining order filed by Richard Daleman, who runs a business leasing small plots to about 40 clients to grow medical-marijuana plants.
 
All have doctors' recommendations to grow and smoke or ingest the drug.
 
The county Resource Management Agency issued Daleman and his landlord cease-and-desist orders to stop growing and clear the marijuana from the site because the farm violates the county's medical-marijuana ordinance, with requirements that include the plants have to be grown on commercially zoned land in the unincorporated county.
 
Saturday was the deadline, but a day earlier, Judge Melinda Reed issued a temporary restraining order against the county until Vortmann — who wasn't in court Friday — could make a ruling.
 
In the meantime, the Tulare County counsel filed a response to Daleman's application and asked Vortmann to issue a preliminary injunction ordering Daleman to stop allowing the marijuana grow sites on his land and pay the county's legal costs.

Legal wrangling over medical marijuana clubs
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Wed, September, 14th 2011 by THCFinder

AZ will hopefully someday get their shit together so medical marijuana patients can start getting their medication.

PHOENIX -- The state cannot try to shut down medical marijuana clubs because Gov. Jan Brewer is ignoring the will of voters, an attorney for one of the clubs is arguing.
 
Michael Walz said he is not conceding that the clubs, where dues-paying members can get free marijuana, are operating outside the scope of the medical marijuana law approved by voters last year. Walz and lawyers representing other clubs believe their operations fit within an exception.
 
But Walz said that the state has no right to go to court to try to shut the operations down. 
 
"The voters passed Proposition 203 that required the state to set up a number of dispensaries, about 126,' he said Tuesday. Those dispensaries were supposed to be where individuals with certain medical conditions could legally obtain up to 2 1/2 ounces of the drug every two weeks.
 
But Brewer along with state Health Director Will Humble are refusing to even accept applications to run the dispensaries.
 
The governor said she feared that state employees who would process the forms could be subject to criminal prosecution under federal laws which make it a crime to even facilitate someone obtaining illegal drugs. And marijuana remains illegal under federal statutes.
 
Brewer also directed Attorney General Tom Horne to file suit, asking a federal judge if Arizona can implement its medical marijuana law -- including licensing dispensaries -- despite the federal laws. But in the meantime, no dispensaries are being licensed even though there already are close to 11,000 Arizonans who have state-issued permits to purchase and use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
 
"She's refusing to follow the law without any legal excuse,' said Walz who represents the Arizona Compassion Club. "That's just not tolerable.'

Lawmakers in California's 3rd-largest city take step toward limiting medical marijuana industry
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Wed, September, 14th 2011 by THCFinder
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Lawmakers have taken a big step toward downsizing and regulating the medical marijuana industry in the nation’s 10th-largest city.
 
San Jose’s city council gave preliminary approval Tuesday to regulations that will sharply limit how and where pot collectives can operate and cap their number at 10. Officials estimate San Jose has about 140 cannabis dispensaries and delivery services.
 
If the council gives the regulations final approval on Sept. 27, clubs would compete for the 10 operating licenses on a first-come, first-served basis. Those that do not win a slot will be ordered to close.
 
The rules also will require licensed collectives to grow all the marijuana they distribute on-site. Dispensary operators say they would have to plant huge gardens that would make them targets for federal drug raids.
