POT DELIVERY SERVICE SEEKS SAN MATEO COUNTY APPROVAL

REDWOOD CITY -- A San Francisco man is asking for San Mateo County's approval to open the Peninsula's first officially sanctioned medical marijuana delivery service, but he's off to a rocky start.

James Sanabria will receive a hearing Monday in front of the San Mateo County License Board on establishing the MedWeedZoom collective, though a report from the sheriff's office already recommends that his request be denied.

Sheriff's Sgt.  Bryan Cassandro notes in his report that Sanabria has been convicted of numerous felonies, including possession of PCP for sale and possession of cocaine, both from 1989, a 1993 robbery conviction, and of being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2007.  San Mateo County's medical marijuana ordinance, which applies only to unincorporated areas, bans felons from working at medical marijuana collectives.
