Medical Marijuana Ban Arguments To Be Heard By California Supreme Court

[Milovan]

The California State Supreme Court will hand down their decisions this spring
so it looks like do or die has finally come to MMJ shops in Cali.
Anyone have any thoughts to share on this matter?

I am not knowledgeable on the subject but would like to weigh in. It seems like it's a zoning/permit issue in California that needs to be looked at. Allowing so many dispeseries(sic?) to open shop is what seems to be giving this ban so much attention. I am assuming the public view these the same way as if alcohol stores were flooding the neighborhood. Instead of looking like a bunch of pharmacys, they are seen as poverty stricken areas; fish n' chicken/cash for gold/alcohol store.

If that's the case, increase the radius required per shop, redo zoning, ect.

Maybe there are too many sales to recreational users, the feds don't like that.

*I agree with that sentiment; redo the zoning laws for dispensaries.
