POT ADVOCATE PERON FACES TRIAL IN OAKLAND
San Francisco Gubernatorial candidate Dennis Peron, the state's most
prominent medical marijuana advocate, will have to fight criminal charges
on drug sales in Oakland.
In a ruling made public Tuesday, the 1st District Court of Appeal
overturned an Alameda County judge's decision to transfer the trial to San
Francisco, where Peron's marijuana club operates.
Peron, founder of the organization now called the Cannabis Cultivators
Club, criticized the ruling but said he would accept it.
