SAN FRANCISCO SHERIFF VOWS TO CLOSE POT CLUB

San Francisco's sheriff promised Thursday to carry out a judge's order to
shut down the city's largest medical marijuana club, while the club's
founder vowed it would immediately reopen.

Sheriff Mike Hennessey said he would evict the 9,000-member Cannabis
Cultivators' Club on Monday.

Club founder Dennis Peron said he intended to vacate the building - but
only for a day. By changing its name and its management structure, the pot
emporium can abide by Superior Court Judge David Garcia's ruling, he said.
Garcia ruled that some sales at the club are not covered by voter-approved
Proposition 215 - the so-called medical marijuana initiative.
