Ted Smith, founder of the Cannabis Buyer's Club, said he was "incredibly happy" with the decision, which was a unanimous one. "I didn't expect them to go this far," he said outside City Hall. Smith hoped the decision would prompt local police to be a little more understanding of those who are supplying medicinal marijuana, yet at the end of the day drug laws are a federal responsibility. - --- MAP posted-by: Ariel
