S.F. ASKS CITIZENS' APPROVAL TO BEGIN MARIJUANA FARMING
SAN FRANCISCO - Frustrated by the government's determination to shut down
medical marijuana clubs, San Francisco is thinking about growing its own.
The Board of Supervisors voted late Monday to put a measure on the November
ballot that would have city officials explore the possibility of growing
marijuana on publicly owned lots and distributing it to ill patients.
Supporters said the program could double as job training for the unemployed.
California was the first state to approve the use of marijuana for medical
ailments in 1996.
