In Brief / San Diego
The City Council this week approved a plan that will allow sick people
who use marijuana to obtain identification cards to protect them from
possible arrest.
Cardholders can carry up to an ounce of marijuana under the
plan.
Marijuana is illegal, but voters in California approved Proposition
215 in 1996 to allow medical use of the drug with a doctor's
permission. The San Diego cards will not protect users from arrest by
federal authorities and cannot be used in other cities.
The city must raise between $20,000 and $30,000 to pay for the program
and find an agency to manage it.
