Group appeals to keep pot clubs open

San Francisco - A group supporting Californians' right to medical marijuana
appealed a Justice Department decision to close several pot clubs in the
state.

Californians for Compassionate Use, a group headed by marijuana activist
Dennis Peron, announced Wednesday it had filed suit in state Supreme Court
to block efforts by the federal government and state Attorney General Dan
Lungren to close the clubs.

The Justice Department moved Jan. 9 to bar pot distribution by clubs in
Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Cruz and Ukiah. The appeal is likely
to be acted on within 90 days.
