Many things have happened since my last post. Fed's raided a San Francisco dispensary despite a pledge from the US attorney general that they would not. The DEA stated that it was because the club was in violation of state law, but refused to elaborate, only saying that the information was under seal and could not be disclosed. However, nobody was arrested and no charges were filed as of the date of this post. This raid occurred over a month ago, and I am not aware of any raids since. Things may finally be settling down.
Tom Amiano's bill to legalize marijuana for all purposes was shelved for a year, so that will not be voted on anytime soon.
San Francisco is kicking around ideas to distribute it's own medical marijuana in order to increase revenue, but as of today it is only an idea.
New collectives are opening up everyday throughout California. Los Angeles is supposed to lift its moratorium in September. Sonoma is setting up regulations to allow collectives. San Mateo has set up regulations to allow collectives. The medical marijuana movement is moving forward each day.
The supreme court refused to hear an appeal regarding federal vs. state rights in the medical marijuana arena. What that means is that the lower court's ruling that local and state law enforcement must enforce state law and not federal law when the two conflice will remain as a final and binding decision.
