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.

San Jose votes to curb medical marijuana industry
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, September, 14th 2011 by THCFinder
San Jose lawmakers took a major step toward downsizing and regulating the city's thriving medical marijuana industry on Tuesday, adopting a package of zoning regulations and laws that will sharply limit how and where pot collectives can operate and initially cap their number at 10.
Two years in the making, the new rules given preliminary approval by the City Council with an 8-3 vote are among the most detailed among the various frameworks local governments in California have adopted as they attempt to tread the thin line between complying with the state's medical marijuana laws and inviting intrusion from the federal government, which does not recognize pot for medicinal use.
Along with restricting the number of dispensaries, San Jose's regulations also will require licensed collectives to grow all the medical marijuana they distribute on-site, to maintain logs detailing every amount they sell and to whom, and to package their wares in child-proof containers that list the name of the recommending doctor and the patient.
City officials estimate that San Jose, the nation's 10th-largest city, has about 140 cannabis dispensaries and delivery services, only 71 of which are paying a local tax on such services the council adopted earlier this year.

Finally a Judge gets it!
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, September, 13th 2011 by THCFinder
A judge in Las Vegas threw out charges in a medical marijuana criminal case, declaring that he couldn't make sense of Nevada's pot laws.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/qS1mJj ) that Clark County Judge Donald Mosley complained Monday that the state Legislature should decide if medical marijuana is legal or not.
Mosley dismissed charges against Leonard Schwingdorf stemming from a police undercover buy at a Las Vegas medical marijuana business called Sin City Co-Op.
The judge ruled that a grand jury should have been shown evidence the marijuana wasn't for sale and that a co-op donation wasn't necessary to obtain it.
Mosley noted that state law lets medical cardholders possess small amounts of marijuana.
But other state and federal laws make it illegal to buy or sell marijuana.
