SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER MARIJUANA DISPENSARY RULING

This week the California Supreme Court received an emergency request 
to temporarily set aside a Second Appellate Court District ruling 
which could have made the Mendocino County zip tie program illegal.

The appeals court ruled Long Beach dispensaries crossed the line 
between decriminalizing medical marijuana possession and authorizing 
the possession and cultivation of the drug. The county has chosen to 
wait until the courts decide the case before changing course on zip 
ties or drafting a new ordinance regulating marijuana dispensaries.
