Whether cities such as Newark can ban medical marijuana dispensaries will be the topic of a high-stakes court hearing.
On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether communities can prohibit these marijuana facilities in light of the 1996 voter-approved law legalizing pot for medicinal uses in California.
As detailed in a San Jose Mercury News story, the hearing stems from a Southern California case where a wellness center sued to overturn Riverside's ban on marijuana dispenaries.
Newark is one of 21 East Bay cities that have some sort of prohibition in place.
The other Alameda County cities with bans are Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton and Union City.
The Contra Costa County cities with bans are Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, Danville, Hercules, Lafayette, Moraga, Oakley, Pinole, Pittsburg and San Pablo.
Benicia in Solano County also has a prohibition on marijuana facilities.
As a logically consistent person, I would allow pot stores and gun stores to operate where they choose (subject only to non-discriminatory zoning/permitting rules).
No need to throw up Smoke and Mirrors in an Attempt to Deflect from your not so Secret Actions of creating Bogus Patch Accounts under different Handles in order to further the Pot Agenda by Posting as different people in Favor of MJ. If you had any Spine what so ever you would Post under your True Identity, where your Replies would be given slight Credibility. Instead you Post under Fictitious Names like a Coward and Engage in Cyber Attacks because it's easier to Talk Smack than to actually backup your Spit. I must State how Disappointed I am that after these past few years you STILL can't backup any of your Accusations against me. I guess it's to be expected, I mean you aren't even Legit so your Opinion doesn't even count in the Grand Scheme of things. No Identity, no Credibility. I get it, you are afraid to be REAL because you Fear Retribution from Employers, Neighbors, and State Welfare Authority. Let's be Honest, MJ may be on the Cusp of being Legal in some Fashion but a lot of Respectable people don't want a Dope Head working in their Establishment. Anyway, when you are ready to Play in the big kids Sandbox, hit me up! Until then, disappear into the Ether. OK?
This is Hilarious! I guess you never been to my Website where I Post both Pictures AND Video Frequently that I've taken from around the Tri Cities area. You Claim to know someone whom knows me Intimately, yet my Social Circles are VERY Limited and consist of Geeks like myself who don't drink Alcohol or do Drugs. I did grow up in an Environment where I was surrounded by Alcoholics & Drug Users and I have not hidden this Fact nor do I hide the fact that I have been Prescribed Medication (TWO types ONLY). I was Diagnosed with Severe OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) at the age of 10. As most people with OCD can attest, I also Developed Anxiety Disorder at the age of 13 and Suffer from Sudden Panic Attacks which come out of nowhere for no reason.All of this is fully Detailed on my Website and all of my REAL Friends know this about me. I'm an Honest, and Open person. So Attempting to Shame me for something that I had no Control over is Disgraceful. As far as Living with my Mommy, that's half true. It's MY name on the Lease and we Split the Cost of Rent. Just like anybody else I too have a Job, I make Money, I CHOOSE NOT to live on Gov Assistance even though I would Quality for it. I do go outside EVERY Day and I'm not as Screwed up as you think I am. Sounds to me like you have been hanging out with Addicts whom know nothing but their own BS, which is why I don't Associate myself with such people, even Family Members. CHECK! Your move! :P
Yes I am a Virgin! AND PROUD! This is MY choice. There's a Soul Mate for me out there, I haven't found her yet, but I'm still looking. I'm highly Traditional and I believe in saving myself for that Special Someone. Sorry if you have a Problem with me NOT being a Slut and giving it up like you do to anyone with a Cig, but hey we all Choose our own Paths! According to my Friends, I'm "Awesome" because I choose to stick by my Beliefs and not give into Peer Pressure. Some of them wish they could have been like me and Saved themselves for someone Special. To me, this Speaks Volumes of how my Friends think of me.
