STATE GETS INJUNCTION AGAINST CANNABIS CLUB

A day after a ruling against medical-marijuana clubs took effect statewide,
a judge Thursday granted a state request for an injunction against San
Francisco's Cannabis Cultivators Club. The club said its operations would
be unaffected.

"We are abiding by the law," said J. David Nick, lawyer for Dennis Peron,
founder of the club and author of Proposition 215, the medical-marijuana
initiative approved by voters in November 1996. Nick said the club's
continued distribution of marijuana to patients complied with a state
appeals court ruling and Thursday's injunction.

Attorney General Dan Lungren disagreed and said the injunction requires the
club to close its doors.
