LOCKYER: LET POT CLUBS OPERATE QUIETLY
Attorney General Bill Lockyer told San Francisco authorities to let pot
clubs dispense marijuana for medicinal use if they can do so discreetly.
"If local law enforcement is supportive of implementation of Proposition 215
and their policies don't provoke outside prosecution, I have no intention of
intervening," said Lockyer, a Democrat who supported the 1996 ballot
initiative to legalize pot for medical use.
His predecessor, Republican Dan Lungren, was an aggressive opponent of
medicinal marijuana who sought repeatedly to shut down San Francisco's
Cannabis Cultivators Club.
