San Diego's District Attorney Makes The Process - The Punishment | Marijuana.com
When Dumanis asserts she is going after people who “hide behind state law” she should be reminded that these laws are for protecting patients
San Diego’s ever unpopular District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis – made her prosecutorial delay the penalty yesterday – dragging out the slow moving and tedious trial of Clint Guidry and Cameron Mitchell. What was their crime you ask? Making the mistake of following CA Prop 215 to the letter of the law, and legally possessing medical marijuana for medicinal use.
As she demonstrated in her failed run for San Diego’s top spot as Mayor, Dumanis has an issues telling the truth. Ms. Dumanis made the laughable claim that her office only goes after illegal marijuana dealers hiding behind California Prop 215, a misrepresentation exemplified by these two misguided marijuana cases.

Recreational Marijuana Business Model: Colorado Entrepreneurs Search For That Perfect Hybrid | Marijuana.com
Recreational Marijuana Business Model: Colorado Entrepreneurs Search For That Perfect Hybrid | Marijuana.com
As Colorado is quickly finding out there is a fine line between the new recreational-marijuana laws and outright criminal activity. As the gray area continually grows, many are uncertain exactly what’s legal and what’s going to get you into some serious trouble with the local authorities.
Driven by the theory that if something’s not forbidden then it’s allowed, entrepreneurs are doing all they can to perpetuate the cultivation of Colorado’s green rush.

Sacramento City Council Postpones Medical Marijuana Rezoning Issue | Marijuana.com
Hopefully the city Council will come to their senses and do what is right for the sick people in the Sacramento area. There's a CVS, Walgreens and every other type of mom-and-pop pharmaceutical drug store on every corner of Sacramento. How many of those are within 1000 feet of K-12 schools?
Things got heated during the Sacramento city Council meeting last night, after hearing the opinions of 18 passionate medical marijuana advocates and a handful of haters, a verdict on whether to toughen the city’s medical marijuana zoning restrictions on collectives was held off Tuesday night by the City Council members.

NCAA to Tighten Up Marijuana Testing, But Reduce Penalties | Marijuana.com
NCAA to Tighten Up Marijuana Testing, But Reduce Penalties
The NCAA is reducing the threshold for a positive result for marijuana, meaning that student athletes who smoke pot are more likely to be caught. At the same time, however, it is recommending reducing the penalty for those testing positive for marijuana.
The testing threshold will drop from 15 nanograms per milliliter of blood to five nanograms (the same standard that is considered per se evidence of impairment under Washington state’s new marijuana DUID law) in order to “more accurately identify pot smoking among student athletes,” the group’s Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sport announced Friday.
Well it's a good thing the NBA doesn't give two rats asses about marijuana use and its players. I wonder if the NCAA will see an early exodus to the NBA based on these known variables

The Feds War On Weed: After A National Medical Marijuana Policy Debacle, Will The DOJ Re-Think Pot | Marijuana.com
The Feds War On Weed: After A National Medical Marijuana Policy Debacle, Will The DOJ Re-Think Pot | Marijuana.com
In the summer of 2007, the owners of Harborside Health Center, then and now the largest medical marijuana dispensary in the U.S., were reflecting on their rapid rise. Steve DeAngelo had opened the center with his business partner in October 2006, on a day when federal agents raided three other clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. “We had to decide in that moment whether or not we were really serious about this and whether we were willing to risk arrest for it,” DeAngelo said. “And we decided we were going to open our doors. And we did, and we haven’t looked back since. The only way I’ll stop doing what I’m doing is if they drag me away in chains. And as soon as they let me out, I’ll be back doing it again.”
