Current ordinance is too prohibitive for a dispensary to open
Even beer and wine licenses are less restrictive.
Valerie Corral and WAMM should support the Pacific Coast Cooperative to reopen on Pacific Ave. On a recent Free Radio Santa Cruz show with the V-man she advised medical marijuana patients in wheelchairs to get their medicine "in Aptos."
That's not good enough.
See a fuller account at the link below of why the current ordinance is too prohibitive by reading the full article "Designed out of existence: or why the Santa Cruz medical marijuana ordinance doesn't work" which I wrote last summer.

Re: Sunday Free Radio Show Continues Local Debate on Marijuana Prohibition
"Medical marijuana" should not be a legal or political issue at all. It is a medical issue, between doctor and patient and NO ONE ELSE!
The government, cops, politicians, and activists need to get out of medicine. It isn't their field.
Activists are pandering to the special interest group of those who use marijuana for medicinal purposes, at the expense of the rest of us. The government has made marijuana a crime for all, but these activists would make it a privilege for the few. Making it a privilege, further tramples on the RIGHTS of the rest of us.
And you aren't even succeeding. How many years has it been since the Compassionate Use Act was passed? A decade? And yet you're STILL fighting anyway, and losing?
All you've done is fracture and weaken the greater struggle for the restoration of individual freedom and the right to control what goes into our own minds and bodies. Divided, we fell. Good job.
Hot Show Archived on HUFF website
The discussion of the slaying of the Pacific Coast Cooperative will continue on Thursday at 6 PM on Bathrobespierre's Broadsides' evening show.
Rotkin's Remarks Now Archived
In the interview, Rotkin acknowledges having promised in November 2003 to reform his 2000 Medical Marijuana Law and says he's "considering".
Perhaps he'll consider a little harder if he gets a call at 420-5023. "Tax and regulate" might be a good idea for such clubs here in Santa Cruz.
