cannabisnews.com: Rancho Tables Decision on Pot Rancho Tables Decision on Pot Posted by CN Staff on July 11, 2004 at 08:38:23 PT By Molly Dugan -- Bee Staff Writer Source: Sacramento Bee In a rare split decision, the Rancho Cordova City Council voted 3-2 Tuesday to delay a decision on proposed regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries.The action allows more time to strengthen restrictions on where cannabis clubs could locate and impose more stringent security requirements. The council is set to reconsider the issue Aug. 2. Councilmen David Sander and Dan Skoglund opposed the delay, saying they would not vote for any ordinance that allows medical marijuana dispensaries in Rancho Cordova - no matter the restrictions. "There is no such thing as medical marijuana," said Sander. "I cannot support marijuana distribution in this community."The proposed ordinance would limit medical marijuana dispensaries to industrial areas at least 1,000 feet from homes, schools, parks and churches. Only two such businesses would be allowed at the same time.The measure also would limit buyers to 8 ounces and forbid smoking or cultivating marijuana on the premises.A state law that took effect in January allows patients to use marijuana for medical reasons with a doctor's recommendation. Since then, several cities in the region have passed ordinances regulating dispensaries.The Rocklin City Council banned cannabis clubs, a decision that is expected to be tested in court.Although no cannabis clubs are operating in Rancho Cordova, the city has received two inquiries about starting them.Councilman Ken Cooley said it makes sense to develop strict guidelines for the distribution of marijuana, because state law allows it."The real question is how will these type of businesses be conducted," he said. "We have to accommodate it in our community in such a way that it's not a nuisance. I think the ordinance before us is a good starting point."At the meeting Tuesday, several people spoke out against allowing cannabis clubs.Snipped: Complete Article: http://www.freedomtoexhale.com/tables.htmSource: Sacramento Bee (CA)Author: Molly Dugan -- Bee Staff WriterPublished: Sunday, July 11, 2004Copyright: 2004 The Sacramento BeeContact: opinion sacbee.comWebsite: http://www.sacbee.com/Related Articles & Web Site:Medicinal Cannabis Research Linkshttp://freedomtoexhale.com/research.htmRancho Fired Up Over Pot Measure http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread19074.shtmlRocklin Bans Medical Pot Salehttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread19029.shtmlRoseville Plan Would Limit New Pot Shopshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread18877.shtml Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Comment #7 posted by shrox on July 13, 2004 at 19:52:21 PT No answer yet No answer from Councilman Sander.

I have proof that medical marijuana works for me. I have made an 3D animation for Jed Riffe's movie "Waiting to Exhale" that depicts precisely how THC augments and replaces dopamine. Inside the THC molecule is a dopamine molecule. These molecules act as electromagnetic keys, the arrangement of the atoms create a magnetic profile that is just what the receptors are looking for. The distance of each atom in relation to the receptor makes a signature that can be duplicated by a similar arrangement of atoms in a molecule. To the receptor, THC and dopamine have a close enough profile signature to be accepted by the receptor and stimulate it to properly do it's job.It is kind of like mixing different colors of light, red, yellow and blue light that shine on the same spot make white light. Different combinations of colors can also achieve a value of white. The electromagnetic profile signatures of THC and dopamine are like that, in that the different resonance of the atoms can appear as a whole the same to the receptor.Yes, there is such a thing as medical marijuana. I have proof. I am sure Councilman Sander would reject the evidence out of hand as he does not appear to be of a scientific mind.shrox http://www.shrox.com/spiceflow.html [ Post Comment ] Comment #3 posted by global_warming on July 11, 2004 at 13:31:53 PT re:Plea "Bargaining" Rather ten focus on our differnces, we should learn how to embrace our differnces, embrace our children, learn how to accept our difficult tasks, for should you remembered or forgotten, and with each effort, to reach and re-assure the children, that "we", the elders, with our passing, pass on to our children, the care and respect for this world.
