Help Save Medical Marijuana In San Jose

By Barry Poppins

On December 10, 2013, the San Jose City council decided that “all dispensaries are illegal” in their city and began devising its own regulations to prohibit and prevent patients in the San Jose area from safe access. It’s injustice, it’s immoral, and it must be stopped.

Fortunately, San Jose’s fervent activists are putting up a fight, and are in the process of challenging the city council by collecting signatures and showing the strength of their community. San Jose, like all of California (and the world) needs legitimate, well-regulated medical marijuana rules.

The Silicon Valley Cannabis Coalition represents the city’s best chance to achieve this goal of proper reform. Here is the full scoop on their efforts, along with locations that you can sign and support their initiative at:

The Silicon Valley Cannabis Coalition, Control & Regulate San Jose and Americans for Policy Reform are announcing their next fundraising event and locations where San Jose residents can sign the Medical Marijuana Regulation for San Jose Act (MMRSJ).

“We will be having an event this weekend to fundraise & further the unity within the community. We now have over 40 locations where San Jose residents can sign the initiative,” said John Lee, Proponent & Founder of Americans for Policy Reform. “We will be updating the SVCannabis.org website as more are set up.”

The “Save the Green” event will be Sunday 3/16. More information & tickets for the event can be found right here.

“The last time the city proposed regulations we were forced to do a referendum,” said Dave Hodges, Proponent & Founder of A2C2- the All American Cannabis Club.” We must put reasonable regulations in place to stop the city council from creating something we cannot live with.”

The supporters of MMRSJ are actively working to collect 30,000 signatures by April 20th, 2014. Signature gathering began February 25th at the Miley Cyrus Bangerz Tour in San Jose. It is supported by the Silicon Valley Cannabis Coalition, Americans for Policy Reform, Control & Regulate San Jose and a majority of cannabis clubs in San Jose. [Yahoo]
