Possible good news from Monterey County.

I'm not holding my breath, but Del Rey Oaks seems to be leaning in the direction of allowing one friggin' dispensary, which would be the only one in the county. But most likely, it'll have to jump through a lot of legal hoops.

I posted this before I read about the way San Jose is screwing over the dispensaries. They're going to force a bunch of them to close down and the rest will have to move out of the "respectable" parts of town and set up shop in industrial areas. Overall, that's a net loss for anyone who lives in this area and wants to get their meds from a dispensary. I sure hope Del Rey Oaks goes ahead and breaks the trend, but I'm guessing it will be fought tooth and nail in this county. Bastards.

Look at what happened to Sacramento. San Jose is following the model minus the raids.

Yeah and I can't believe it happened so fast but the city council has already approved it!

They have an address for the place but no word on when it will open. I'll bet it gets a ton of business.

it is gonna be great not having to drive to Santa Cruz, or having to rely on the delivery services. But this place is going to be so packed, I bet they are gonna have to do it by appointments only.

And they better have plenty of parking! There's a lot of retired hippies in that area who are going to want meds for their creaky bones.

The county HAS to keep at least one dispensary open in the County or they're out of compliance with State Law 215.
They will shut down outdoor grows and force you to grow in special "Permitted" Green house and force you to store
your weed out of your home and secured there. Warrantless searches will be coming and then you'll see the BOS sitting
in judgment of the people found not in compliance.
You can stick any County name on this cause if it hasn't happened yet it will.

Oh and cover your Lic plate when you park and cover your face cause they will be there to make a record of who's going there.

Then we'll just have to stand together and demand some freedom.

All good questions. I've wondered about the county-issued cards but have never bothered to look more deeply into it. I'm not sure I'd trust this county with the information.

Remember the Marijuana Tax stamp the Feds said the growers they had to have to do business??
It was back in the 30s.

Making sheep jump through hurdles

I posted this in another thread, but if anyone is interested it appears that Monterey County officials are finally starting to come around. Maybe.

I don't see it happening soon in Salinas they have become pretty militarized as far as the
Police go.

But with heroin being the backbone of the black-market there, it would provide a safe source for those not wanting to be exposed to that element.

I hope they provide safe excess.

Congress will make it happen, it's in the hands of the states.

I'm gonna go form a line

do they only take patients that have a medical marijuana identification card issued by the state?

I hope they don't want us to get cards from the county office. They want something like a $100 for that. Deal breaker, far as I'm concerned.
