Here's a study in contrasts.
The Oakland City Council just approved an ordinance which would allow large-scale marijuana growing operations to provide medical pot to Oakland's medical marijuana dispensaries. That's right folks, Oakland.
Meanwhile, Marin is fighting tooth and nail to get rid of its existing cannabis dispensaries. Corte Madera just filed a lawsuit against one of two dispensaries in that town, and officials in San Rafael have ordered another one there to shut down. There are also efforts to close another dispensary in Kentfield. The one exception seems to be Fairfax where city officials recently approved delivery service of medicinal pot to patients.
Proposition 19, the so-called "Control & Tax Cannabis" initiative which is on the November ballot, would make growing and possession of pot within certain guidelines, legal. A recent poll by CBS5 seems to indicate the prop has a good chance of passing. It seems most Californians are OK with it.
But not Marin.
