The City Council will consider tonight a local activist's proposal to legalize medical-marijuana clubs.Westside resident Bruce Rittenhouse is asking the council to adopt an ordinance similar to one in Santa Cruz that legalizes the clubs in that city. Police Chief Jacque McCoy has recommended that the council kill the proposal.
Rittenhouse is seeking to legalize the clubs under Prop. 215, a 1996 statewide ballot measure that made the growing and use of marijuana legal for medical purposes.Marijuana is used by some AIDS patients to combat the "wasting-away" effect of the condition and by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to counter chronic nausea.Since the passage of Prop. 215, law enforcement agencies statewide have consistently fought the measure's implementation.The council's evening session starts at 6 at City Hall, 735 Anacapa St.GoletaPublished: June 20, 2000Related Articles & Web Sites:The Compassion Flower Innhttp://compassionflowerinn.com/Pictures From The Compassion Flower Innhttp://homepages.go.com/~marthag1/cfinn.htmCalifornia City is a Pioneer in Medical-Marijuana http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread5638.shtmlSanta Cruz Weighs Pot-Club Limitshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread5585.shtmlI'll Have The Bellhop Carry Up Your Bags of Marijuanahttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread5484.shtml
