Federal Spending on MMJ Raids over?

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday and hope that the New Year will be peaceful and prosperous.  We are getting a mixed bag of policy changes, some good, some not so much.

First, the Good News!  President Obama signed the new budget that contained a provision to defund all Federal agencies from spending any money on marijuana prosecutions in states that have passed laws thatallow the use of cannabis for medical or recreational purposes.

This is not a suggestion or a recommendation - it is the law (at least until Sept. 2015 when this budget expires).

Now the bad news:  Yuba County is moving towards a total outdoor cultivation ban.  At the very least, they plan to drastically cut back on the number of plants that can be grown.  The matter has been postponed until Jan 5, so we should know soon.  El Dorado County is doing the same.

SB1262 California Clusterfuck

This bill looks pretty dam scarey ... It has a high likely hood of passing; please engage lawmakers and tell them what you don't like instead of just saying NO SB1262; So it has a chance of being watered down or having some positives for patients .

Cannabis Cures Cancer Supports ASA NC Measure S

The Cannabis Cures Cancer website supports ASA Nevada County's Measure S.

This measure is crucial to regulate cannabis grows in Nevada County and still allow patients the ability to grow and have access to medicine. By setting an easy to understand set of rules for patients to understand, it will help free up law enforcement resources to enforce actions to grows that are not legal under Prop 215. By also setting reasonable limits, it will help prevent cannabis from being grown in significant amounts for the black market and help stop unreasonable nuisance gardens from being grown in residential areas of the county.

The Cannabis Cures Cancer Cooperative Significantly Endorses The Marijuana Cultivation Act of Nevada County.

Measure S is vital in implementing a sensible and prudent ordinance which protects patients' rights while addressing the needs of the county.
