CITY CALLS FOR POT SHOP REGULATION
Dispensaries Need Consistent Oversight, Local Officials Say
SAN MATEO -- The many battles raging in California over medical
marijuana are fueled by a basic disagreement between federal law,
which prohibits the possession of cannabis altogether, and state law,
which has allowed the selective use of medical marijuana for more
than a decade.
But the divide between the two positions -- an ideological chasm
which has resulted in the raids of dozens of medical marijuana
dispensaries across the state -- has no bearing on the recent raids
of three dispensaries in the city of San Mateo, local officials and
law enforcement say.
