Source: SF Gate Two men who said they operated a couple of San Diego County cannabis clubs to provide people legal, medicinal marijuana pleaded guilty Tuesday to maintaining a place for distribution of a controlled substance. In exchange for their plea, prosecutor David Songco dropped seven other felony charges against Steven McWilliams, 44, and Dion Markgraaff, 29. They each face up to three years in prison when they are sentenced April 20, but lawyers on both sides said they will likely receive probation. McWilliams, who operated with Markgraaff the Cannabis Caregivers Club in Ocean Beach and Hillcrest, claimed he was protected under a new state law that allows a patient or designated caregiver to cultivate and possess marijuana for medicinal purposes. The California Supreme Court has ruled that cannabis clubs are not protected by the law. Now that the IOM Report is out won't they stop soon?
