New Monterey Marijuana Market Gets Lawyer

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.

L.A. Times:

The city of Los Angeles has warned 439 medical marijuana dispensaries that they must shut their doors by June 7. City prosecutors began notifying dispensary operators the first week of May, the first step in what could be a lengthy and expensive legal battle to regain control over pot sales.

New Monterey Police Blotter – August 2010

Cross Bay Swimmer Surrenders

He gave up and used the wet suit. Chase failed to make the trip last year. This year his cause for restrictive seafood rules are mentioned with his other substainable BS not mentioned. Guess swimming among the seafood has better mojo than building schools in Afghanistan.
Bruckner Chase

Bruckner Chase, 44, wanted to become the second person to finish the swim without a wetsuit — English Channel rules — but the toxic stings of jellyfish forced him to abandon that plan about two hours into the 14-hour swim.

Chase did the swim to attract attention to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, sustainable seafood programs and the Blue Ocean Film Festival, a five-day event that begins today in Monterey.

New Monterey Marijuana Pushers Getting Pushed Out

Gilroy got court orders to close their illegal pot store, Monterey seeks same.

No Pot Club

Monterey City officials are seeking a permanent court order to shut down a medical marijuana dispensary that opened last year on Lighthouse Avenue.

A temporary order was issued in March by Monterey County Superior Court Judge Robert O’Farrell, in favor of the city, requiring MyCaregiver Inc. to close after the city sued.

I For One Care Less For Them*

$3 cupcakes. Is that crazy or what? At least it fills a vacant storefront in the ghost town 800 block in New Monterey.

Cupcakes

People freak for her Red Velvet and go gaga for her “over the top” Oreo. This summer she’s planning on seasonal s’mores and lime margarita editions and a strawberry-strawberry number built on P.G. Farmers Market fruit. The boutique will sell 15 flavors a day from 11am-10pm – a single is $3, a box of six $15 and a dozen $30 – and though she isn’t zoned to brew coffee, she will have chilled drinks and joe delivered.

Monterey Optimistic About US Open Tourists

Unlike the dreary picture painted by Moe Ammar, things are more upbeat across the border.

Although getting reservations was a bit challenging this time around, for a local restaurant it was more challenging back in 2000.

“We were not even half as busy with our reservations as we are this year in 2010, big increase in reservations,” said Joanne Marshall, manager at Fish Hopper.

“Of course its helping our staff, we have extra staff so it’s really helping us all around and bringing our folks out to Cannery Row to see what we have out here,” said Marshall.
