MEDICINAL MARIJUANA TO BE DEBATED
The Baldwin Park City Council will consider Wednesday extending an
interim moratorium on medicinal marijuana dispensaries in the city.
The council voted unanimously last month to enact a 45-day temporary
ban prohibiting the establishment of medicinal marijuana clinics
anywhere in the city.
It expires on Saturday.
The new ordinance would extend that ban for 10 more months.
California voters approved Proposition 215 - the Compassionate Use
Act - in 1996, allowing for the possession and cultivation of
marijuana for medicinal use with a doctor's approval.
It is still barred by federal law.
