Though they bow down to liquor stores.

Residential Care Facilities, eh? Maybe Canturbury Woods can use the homes on Spazier to grow pot now that people are not allowed to live there.

A Pot Hicary

The ordinance, prepared at the council’s direction by City Attorney David Laredo, prohibits “growing, selling, distributing or operating marijuana dispensaries” medical or otherwise.

There are exclusions, Laredo said, for health care, residential care or hospice facilities to provide marijuana to patients who hold doctors’ prescriptions for cannabis, and residents can grow plants “in strict compliance with the (state) compassionate use act.”

“It seemed like the endless project,” Cindy Walter said of the undertaking she and her husband, Ted, took on four years ago.

Their lives have changed in that time, Walter said — she had two surgeries and has another scheduled — and they decided their Passionfish restaurant in Pacific Grove is all they want to handle now. They have owned it for 13 years.

Walter said she and her husband invested time, emotion and thousands of dollars in the Old Bath House project. As it proceeded, “there were more and more expenses,” she said.

Richard Rosen, LOL. Defender of David Stamm and Chowdergate lawyer.

Pot Shop Moratorium

Richard Rosen and Jeanine Strong say they will not only prove the nonprofit co-op is operating legally, but will go after the “real violators” — local governments and law enforcement agencies that have refused to implement the medicinal marijuana law.

In the 14 years since the Compassionate Care Act legalized medicinal marijuana in the state, said Rosen, not one medical marijuana facility has been authorized in the county.

“While the rest of the state is following the law, Monterey County is and has been consistently flaunting the law,” he said. “It’s a terrible and dangerous policy because when government ignores the law, it encourages everyone to ignore the law.”

The rest of the state is realizing that it’s about money and not compassion. They are closing down dispensaries.
