MEDICAL MARIJUANA CLUBS GET COLD SHOULDER ON PENINSULA
SAN MATEO -- A recent spate of temporary bans on setting up medical
marijuana dispensaries in Peninsula cities probably has more to do
with changing laws and "not in my back yard" sentiments than hostility
toward the concept of medical marijuana, officials said.
City councils in South San Francisco, San Bruno and Redwood City have
approved moratoriums on medical marijuana collectives after raising
questions about crime and concerns of becoming a haven for pot
smokers. City officials said the bans allow them to weigh their options.
But Scot Candell, the attorney for a group trying to set up shop in
South San Francisco, said the reason for the bans is much simpler.
