Coachella Music and Arts Festival known in short as

“COACHELLA FEST,” is the Mecca of Music and Art Festivals.
It’s also the benchmark by which most festivals are com-
pared, worldwide. Started in 1999 (missing one year in 2000,
due to lack of ticket sales), Coachella has come back strong
as THE WEST COAST FESTIVAL to attend each Spring. Along
with THREE MAIN STAGES AND MULTIPLE DJ TENTS, there
are also large art installations set up all over the complex.
For those dance-crazed, rave-minded attendees, there is a
special area devoted just to DANCE MUSIC - ALL WEEKEND.
The hit list of bands who’ve played in years past is a who’s
who of contemporary rock ’n’ roll. With such headline acts as
BECK, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, OASIS, RADIOHEAD, THE
CURE, ROGER WATERS, PRINCE, MADONNA, RAGE AGAINST
THE MACHINE, PAUL MCCARTNEY & DAFT PUNK, it’s evident
that these promoters are in tune with what the people want.
After months of message boards and blogs post, the long-await-
ed reveal of the highly anticipated lineup has been released.
It seems that the heads at Goldenvoice/AEG Live have once
again put together another KICK-ASS LINEUP FOR 2010.

18 kush

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Coachella is back to being a three-day festival, this year finds
every night filled with great acts from across the musical dial.
Among the Friday night eclectic acts is the robo-Diva, Grace
Jones - sure to put on a show, given her magnificent performance
at the Hollywood Bowl last year.
Also on Friday, super-group Them Crooked Vultures (featur-
ing John Paul Jones from the mighty Led Zeppelin on bass and
Dave Grohl from, well, you know) brings its ass-kicking rock
back to the masses. DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!!!
Friday night also features the reunion of the oh-so-sweet
Johnny Rotten back to the stage with his post-Sex Pistols group
Public Image Limited (PIL), but most notably, headliner Jay-Z
(Hova, Mr. Shawn Carter) will be poppin’ bottles into the desert
sky, bringing hit after hit into the late night. So far so good, right?
Well, save your energy kids -- it’s a long three days. Whether
you’re partying or not? And let’s face it, Coachella Fest is not only
a haven for great live music and art, but it has also become a safe
haven for those who “….like to partake in mind-altering sub-
stances…..”. Along with the well stocked VIP tent with food and
mixed drinks, there are plenty of concessions and friendly staff to
make the whole Coachella experience great.
Saturday night is chock full o’ great bands too. Favorite
spudboys, Devo, are making the scene, as well as MGMT, and
a reunion by Faith No More - should be great. Musical genius
Jack White is presently drumming in his latest venture The Dead
Weather – and he’s always a treat.
Saturday’s late-night roster promises to be great -- one side of
the giant Polo field finds DJ extraordinaire Tiesto returning from
the Netherlands, filling dance tents with hordes of loyal follow-
ers – and on the other side, British darlings Muse attack the main
stage with their worldly and grandiose sound.
PREP THYSELF FOR SUNDAY
Being that this show is in the desert, it can be a long, grueling
weekend. It gets hot, and with all the partying going on, some
people forgo the Sunday wrap-up in exchange for a relaxing day
at the resort pools. This is a great option to have, but this year
might find those pools empty, as Sunday’s lineup is just as strong
as Friday’s and Saturday’s.
Starting with the reunion of Sunny Day Real Estate, even the
Emo kids will be out at Coachella - all lathered up in sunscreen.
Ol’ skool hip-hoppers De La Soul will be on hand with their
quirky lyrics and jazzy beats, while electronic pioneer Gary Nu-
man plugs into the desert sky with his often imitated synthesized
hooks.
Among other notable legends – and the requisite throwback
band -- is the slightly unpredictable, but always great Sly and The
family Stone. Sunday night also has the reunion of indie, lo-fi
faves Pavement. Thom Yorke, of Radiohead fame and outstand-
ing solo work, will be paired up with bass master Flea for what
promises to be a great set. These two are a truly kismet pairing.
Head over there early, as this will surely be high on everyone’s
watch list.
Closing the weekend is a pop-art project called Gorillaz, de-
signed as a “virtual band” composed of four animated characters.
In the past, Gorillaz have performed live, using video screens to
project their animated counterparts as the main act, further sell-
ing their audience on their storyline. What’s in store for this set,
we’ll have to wait and see.
Coachella has become a favorite weekend for serious concert-
goers, bringing a friendly atmosphere and good vibes to all who
attend - so whether you’re a first timer planning a one day outing,
or a diehard weekend warrior ready to plunge into the full three-
day commitment, make sure you get your tickets early, as years
past have sold out.
Come early - stay late - kick off your shoes and enjoy the
greatest Music and Arts Festival in the world. Once you go to
Coachella, you’ll be hooked for life. So remember, have a “Happy
Coachella”, and pass it on…….
Coachella Music and Arts Festival takes place 4/16,4/17,and
4/18 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio CA. You can find out more

GROWER'S
GROVE:
“Tips for pruning Tips”
by JOSH KAPLAN
With any landscape, tree or shrub, pruning
can be advantageous to the growth of the plant.
This holds true for our favorite plant in this wild
kingdom - marijuana.
Pruning is the removal or reduction of certain
plant parts that are not required, that are no
longer effective, or that are of no use to the plant.
It is done to supply additional energy for the
development of flowers, fruits, and limbs that
remain on the plant.
Each time a growing tip is clipped, the stem
branches into two shoots, which begin to grow
from the nearest leaf axils (the area where the
leaf and stem join). By pruning your plants, you
will be improving its health, while increasing its
value. And let’s face it, the better your plant, the
better its value - right?
So now that we have our objectives and a few
basic principles down, let’s keep in mind the
most important factor in all of this - common
sense. Basically, use your head, and don’t get too
overzealous with the scissors.
22 kush
When pruning, keep these simple steps in mind:
1.) The beginning stage
Pruning a growing marijuana plant is an easy way of
controlling uneven growth without seriously harming the
plant. Ideally developed from a clone, you’d want to wait until
at least two weeks, or until after the first five-bladed leaves
have formed (this is when the vegetative stage begins). Many
growers choose to wait until the fourth or fifth week to prune
the growing tips, to allow development of lower branches, thus
filling in horizontal space.
2.) Have a game plan
It is always better to plan a pruning strategy for your
developing plants, rather than haphazardly clipping off growth
on an irregular basis. Each time a growing tip is removed, the
plant takes a few days to recover before its growth resumes.
The marijuana with the greatest potency is found in the
growing tips, and by the three month mark, they should make
a high quality of smoke. So again, try not to mess with them
too much, and your patience should pay off. Pruning is fine
at any stage of the plant’s development, just don’t overdo it.
Severe pruning can harm the growth of your plant. Remember,
you just want to eliminate the excess dead leaves that are
potentially sapping all the light, and blocking other leaves in
the process.
3.) Be patient and understanding with your plant
(‘node’ what we mean??)
The amount of new growth formed with continued
pruning is limited by the genetic structure of the seed, and
the conditions of the environment. It’s not recommended that
you prune every node in a developing plant. Try to prune
every second or third node to allow the plant time to recover.
Wait for the new node to start growing before clipping the
young branch a few millimeters above the previous node’s
newly formed leaves. It’s also advisable to use small scissors as
opposed to simply plucking off the growing tips by hand.

4.) Know what you’re pruning

Never prune more than the single growing tip, or upper-
most node, from any branch on the growing plant. The upper-
most growing tip of an un-pruned marijuana plant will always
be more potent than that of the top of a pruned plant grown
in similar conditions. But let’s not get caught trippin’ on
just the top. Let’s think about the whole plant. Pruning the
tallest branches ensures that the lower branches grow upward,
forming a larger surface area for the light to cover. The clear
fluid that often flows from the end of a newly pruned branch
contains substances which seal the wound and aid the healing
process. Although it is recommended that you remove all
dying leaves from the plant, you should resist the temptation to
prune too many healthy leaves. Keep in mind that even though
it may be better developed, a pruned marijuana plant does not
always produce more buds than an un-pruned plant. Another
good reason for pruning is to take healthy cuttings from a
strong growing, or favorite plant, for further hydroponic
development (cloning).

5.) Use “if needed” as your pruning rule of thumb

Marijuana growers often prune their plants in an attempt to
limit their height and prevent unwanted detection. If you have
that type of operation, all of this is probably old hat for you. If
you are the average “home grower,” remember that by pruning
a growing tip, you are removing the most potent part of the
plant, thereby spoiling its chance of reaching full maturity. By
pruning all the buds at harvest time, rather than cutting the
stem off above the ground, you could easily harvest your plant
a second time. One great advantage to pruning your marijuana
plant is that you’re lowering their resistance to harmful natural
enemies such as insects, fungus and temperature fluctuations.

Do not prune any growing tips if you notice that your

plant’s health is declining or has started losing leaves. Although
smoking your pruned tips is ok, plants should be pruned to
develop their growth, rather than for smoking purposes.
While it may be tempting to prune female buds during early
flowering, your harvest will be severely reduced by doing
so. Cannabis indica is genetically smaller and bushier than
cannabis sativa, and usually requires less pruning.

So remember, be patient and concise when pruning. You

know when you need a haircut don’t you? Well the same
patience and concern should be taken with your little babies.

Good luck, and

happy growing!!

Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage of choice for good
reason. It can be so many different flavors, delivered by different
methods and, of course, has different ancient histories. As a social
lubricant, the fermented refreshment holds the power to get a
party started, with an abundance of flavors and spices. It even
carries some antioxidants (who knew?)! It compliments sporting
events, goes well with many meals, and is generally associated
with a good time – especially at bars.
Where can you find the best beer? LA has a plentitude of bars
that provide a variety of flavorful brews, but here are six of our
favorites:  
by CLOEY KELLY
NAJA’S PLACE 
Naja’s Place is on the boardwalk near the Redondo Pier, just feet
from the sparkling sea – enabling you to breath in the fresh ocean
air while throwing a few back (two of LA’s great draws). Their
motto is “fear no beer” and while inside their open-aired joint one
has an array of bottles and 88 drafts, with Belgium beer being their
specialty. While sipping on one of these exotic beverages, you can
mingle, listen to live entertainment, and even dance—all with that
harbor view only a few yards away.
154 International Boardwalk, Redondo Beach, CA 90277 :: (310) 376-9951 
 FATHER’S OFFICE  RED LION TAVERN
Inside Father’s Office two locations craft beers are the thing. They
have 36 craft beers on tap that are rotated seasonally to ensure
your potentially new favorite beer is always in style. They strive
to master the ‘craft’ of pairing beers with food to further please
your taste buds. What’s the best part about Father’s Office?
You can supplement your beer with one of their renowned and
mouthwatering burgers. That’s right; the culinary geniuses who
work in this office have discovered the secret to the perfect burger:
aged beef topped with caramelized onion, bacon, gruyere, blue
cheese, and arugula, sandwiched between a fresh baguette (yum!).  
1018 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90403 :: (310) 736-2224 
3229 Helms Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90034 :: (310) 736-2224
BOWERY BAR AND BISTRO
Start spreading the news … Bowery Bar and Bistro brings the
personality and flavors of New York to Hollywood – and along
with this Big Apple vibe, comes a large selection of beer.  This
friendly joint considers itself “LA’s first gastropub,” and it was
started by a true New Yorker to give it that genuine East Coast
flair. While surrounded by these Gotham-inspired walls, you can
sip on everything from a nice Belgian pale ale to the ever-famous
Pabst Blue Ribbon.
6268 West Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028 :: (323) 465-3400  800 West Olympic Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90015 :: (213) 745-9273  330
You don’t have to travel to Germany for authentic beer and
merriment. The Red Lion Tavern in Silver Lake is a German pub
where Oktoberfest is celebrated all year round. The environment
is authenticated by a Bavarian-style beer garden that evokes
optimism, a German-enthused décor and menu, and a wait staff
that’s decked out in lederhosens and the appropriate Teutonic
apparel. There is also a rooftop, ornamental patio on which the
fine beer and bratwurst can be enjoyed.
2366 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90039 :: (323) 662-5337
YARD HOUSE
As written on their logo, the Yard House claims to offer the
“largest selection of draft beer,”  clocking in at 100-250 tap
handles depending on the location. No matter what type of
beer you’re craving, you’ll be able to find it -- and then some.
The only problem you’ll have while inside this house of beer is
deciding which one to savor. However, the options create a sense
of excitement and encourage experimentation and sampling. The
Yard House takes beer to the next level and supplies beer blends
and draft beer floats, where chocolate stout is topped with vanilla
ice cream.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Marijuana Quantity Limits as Unconstitutional.
On January 21, 2010, the California Supreme Court’s decision
in People v. Kelly struck down the California Medical Marijuana
Program Act’s limits on the amount of dried marijuana and
number of marijuana plants a qualified patient can possess as
unconstitutional.  However, the numbers 8, 6 and 12 (referring to
8 ounces of dried marijuana, 6 mature marijuana plants and 12
immature marijuana plants) remain very important to patients and
cooperatives.
The court eliminated the right for prosecutors to use the
8 ounce and 6 (or 12) plant numbers as “caps” against patients.  quantities of medical marijuana plants and harvested marijuana
In this context, the court held that it is unconstitutional to use
the quantities in the 2003 Medical Marijuana Program Act as
limitations on the right to use medical marijuana established by the
1996 Compassionate Use Act which does not specify an amount of
medical marijuana that a patient may possess or cultivate.  The court
held that a qualified patient may assert, as a defense in court, that he
or she possessed or cultivated an amount of marijuana “reasonably
related to meet his or her current medical needs” and not have to
worry about the 8 ounce and 6 (or 12) plant quantity limits.  This
language stems from the language of the Compassionate Use
Act itself, which states that the marijuana possessed or cultivated
must be for the patient’s “personal medical purposes”  (Section
11362.5(d)).  In reality, the court merely reiterated the First District
Court of Appeal’s 1997 decision in People v. Trippet, which stated
that “the quantity possessed by the patient or the primary caregiver,
and the form and manner in which it is possessed, should be
reasonably related to the patient’s current medical needs.”
The bottom line is that the court held that to the extent the
quantities set forth in Section 11362.77 of the Medical Marijuana
Program Act are used as limits against patients — such as when
the government tries to use them to limit patient access and use —
then they are unconstitutional.
40 kush L.A.
The court did not, however, eliminate the right of patients to
use the stated quantities as “protective caps” under which possession
is permitted and immunized, provided that the patient has a valid
county-issued Medical Marijuana Program identification card. In
other words, the quantities cannot be used by law enforcement
against patients, but they can be used by patients as protection
from law enforcement.
The recently passed Los Angeles medical marijuana ordinance
states that dispensing cooperatives and collectives may possess
“in strict accordance” with state law.  What does that mean now?
The Supreme Court’s decision in People v. Kelly opens the door
for a qualified patient to individually possess in excess of 8 ounces
and 6 (or 12) plants if it is subjectively reasonable for such patient to
do so based on such patient’s current medical needs.  Cooperatives
and collectives should be careful, however, not to exceed these
quantities unless they are able to demonstrate the reasonableness
of the quantities.  This is because a patient who elects to possess
quantities of marijuana that exceed the immunized levels set forth
in the Medical Marijuana Program Act has the burden of proof
with respect to the reasonableness of such quantities if challenged
by law enforcement.
Chief Justice Ron George wrote in the unanimous court
decision that “[t]hese individuals are not subject to any specific
limits and do not require a physician’s recommendation in order to
exceed any such limits . . .  [i]nstead they may possess an amount of
medical marijuana reasonably necessary for their … needs.”
Although the Chief Justice wrote that a physician’s
recommendation is not required in order to exceed the quantities
set forth in the Medical Marijuana Program Act, the question
is whose determination whether or not a certain quantity is
reasonably related to one’s current medical needs would be trusted
by a hypothetical jury in the event of prosecution? The most
obvious answer is a qualified health care professional. 
Only time will tell, however, whether physicians will put in
the time and energy required to learn more about the patients they
are evaluating and about the benefits of medical marijuana as a
therapeutic treatment in order for them to make recommendations
for marijuana use that will stand up in court. It doesn’t help that
the California Medical Association (CMA) discourages physicians
from providing specific recommendations regarding usage levels.
In guidance published in January 2009, the CMA wrote that it “does
not advise physicians to specify the amount of cannabis that would
be consistent with the patient’s needs” (CMA On-Call, Document
#1315, Item 26). Without clear advice from physicians to exceed
the 8 ounce and 6 (or 12) plant limits in the Medical Marijuana
Program Act, patients that elect to exceed these quantities may be
at risk, notwithstanding the Chief Justice’s words.

 hen given this assignment to interview Cheryl Shuman
- Executive Director of the Beverly Hills NORML90210.org,
I was familiar with “NORML” of course, but I was un-
aware of a very special woman doing such important, noble work. Getting
only a slight glimpse of this story by a short clip on the NORML blog, the
video depicted a strikingly beautiful blond woman testifying in front of
the L.A. City Council. With the calmness of a Hollywood starlet delivering
a line, she goes on to say that she is terminally ill, and because she is a
legally prescribed Marijuana user, her insurance will not cover the liver
transplant needed to save her life. This short and direct speech was as
compelling as it’s outcome is disturbing.
Maybe there’s a superior strength that one musters up when faced
with such mind-boggling hurdles? Maybe in light of such magnanimous
frustrations, the bigger picture takes hold, and becomes the focus?
These are questions we all hope to avoid in life. Where does one turn,
when the walls of bureaucracy come crashing down on you? These are
the types of trials and tribulations that might bring the average person
to their knees? This is not the case in Cheryl Shuman.
When contacted by Cheryl, I was overwhelmed by her upbeat at-
titude, and positivity. Here is a woman who has a terminal illness, and
is taking the time to spread the word about NORML, and the positive ef-
fects of medicinal Marijuana. Fighting for a cause near and dear to many
people’s hearts, and one that has extended this activist’s life beyond her
doctor’s projections. Cheryl Shuman, I commend you.
Q: Cheryl, How long have you been the Executive Director of the Beverly
Hills NORML90210.org? What drew you into being an activist for such a
controversial issue?
A: “I have been an activist for Medical Cannabis since 1987. At the time
I was known as the ‘Optician to the Stars’, working with such notable
Hollywood stars as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Arnold
Schwarzenegger and many more. With my business as a licensed opti-
cian, I knew that Cannabis had healing properties for patients impacted
by Glaucoma. In my personal life, I first became a legal medical Canna-
bis patient in 1997. My doctors had prescribed a number of medications
for my anxiety, including Xanax and other highly addictive pharmaceuti-
cals. My body didn’t react well to pills, so my physician suggested the use
of medical marijuana. I laughed at the time, because I didn’t drink, had
44 kush
never done drugs, and had never even smoked a cigarette in my life. He
wrote a recommendation letter giving me permission to try it as an alter-
native health choice. It was very difficult for me to find a ‘safe’ provider
or caretaker, so that was discouraging. Once I found safe cannabis medi-
cine, it changed my life. For the first time in my life, I felt healthy, calm
and able to handle the stress load. Cannabis was far superior to any pill
that doctor’s had previously prescribed. For many years, I was a financial
supporter to any and all organizations that supported Marijuana Law
Reform. Because of my work at the time with so many celebrities, I was
fearful of coming ‘out of the closet’ regarding my status as a patient. I
was afraid it would have a negative impact on my career and my family
life, if anyone knew about my personal secret of using Cannabis. I was
intimidated by the negative stereotype associated with being a Cannabis
consumer. As the years went on, I learned more about the leaders in the
Cannabis movement. I followed the stories of Valerie Corral of the WAMM.
org group in Santa Cruz. I was so inspired by this remarkable woman
working with terminally ill patients. When I learned about the federal
raid on their group, I was outraged, and worked to start documenting the
stories of patients impacted by the prohibition of Marijuana on a federal
level. I continue to document these events on video, and hope to organize
the footage into a documentary film.”
Q: How has Medical Marijuana made your illness bearable, if at all?
What hope does Marijuana provide you with, in dealing with your health
issues?
A: “While Cannabis has saved my life thus far, prohibiting the growth,
spread and metastasizing of the tumors throughout my system, I recently
learned that the mere fact that I used Cannabis as an alternative health
treatment, could disqualify me from a life-saving organ transplant. My
hopes and prayers are that the cannabis medicine that I use daily will
keep me alive until the laws can change. One of the most difficult issues
I deal with daily, is the fact that since my quality of life has improved,
I do not ‘look’ seriously ill. I don’t need a wheelchair, and am no longer
hooked up to machines in a hospital bed. My condition is visible through
CT Scans, MRI’s, and Ultrasounds.”
Q: While giving your brief statement in front of the L.A. City Council, did
you realize just how impacting your presentation was?
A: “I had never spoken in front of city council. I had to fight back tears and
emotions, but when my name was called, I tried to condense a lifetime of
experiences in to 60 seconds of testimony. I was terrified and intimidated,
but felt like I had to say something. I had no idea that video cameras were
capturing my testimony and I certainly had no idea that the video would be
spread virally throughout the Internet and make it to other news outlets. It
appears that people are responding and I’m happy to try to make a differ-
ence. After the hearing, I had to return to my home to recover for a few weeks.
Now I realize that we need to educate the mainstream as to how these laws
are truly impacting patients, families, and the community as a whole. Each
day we receive hundreds of emails and phone calls asking for guidance on
the latest regulations. The legal system is confusing at best. We need to
clarify concise, and consistent legislation.”
Q: Are people with medical Marijuana prescriptions really being discriminated
against for their Marijuana smoking?
A: “Medical Cannabis patients are discriminated against each and every
day. They are losing their insurance. They are losing their jobs. They are los-
ing their homes. They are losing their children. Why? Discrimination from
employers, landlords, and government agencies forcing these people to be
ruined by the current laws.”
Q: Cheryl, You and NORML90210.org’s co-founder Frederic Rhoades are
featured keynote speakers at Hempcon coming to the L.A. Convention Center
Feb 19th -21st , and at the San Francisco San Mateo Event Center, Aug 6th
-8th. Can you tell me a little bit about what issues you’ll be covering at these
two events?
A: “Beverly Hills NORML90210.org is thrilled to be working with the respected
production team of Mega Productions with the 2010 Premiere event of
HempCon.com and the Medical Marijuana Show on February 19th, 20th &
21st at the Los Angeles Convention Center. We are expecting 150,000 peo-
ple to attend the event and learn about the latest legal news impacting
collectives and patients. There will also be educational seminars specifically
for women wishing to join the cannabis reform movement, build cannabis
related businesses and become politically active.”
Q: As an activist, and spokeswoman for the NORML causes, what messages
would you like people to take from you, and NORML?
A: “We support the full legalization for responsible adult use of Marijuana
throughout the nation. With my health issues, I am working towards full
legalization in my lifetime, which is ‘immediate‘. It is my support and belief
that with the TaxCannabis2010 initiative on the ballot, we have enormous
momentum in California to pass this bill in the fall. Every ounce of my energy
will be working to educate the public, motivating them go get out and VOTE
this law into effect - statewide. It is my strong belief that California leads
the world in Cannabis politics, therefore, I believe that the moment we pass
legalization in California, there will be a domino effect spreading throughout
the other states.”
“When we have full legalization, with a tax and regulate business
model, the world will see the true benefits of this miraculous plant. We will
see health improved for millions not only through cannabis medicines, but
through the funding of educational programs, mental health programs,
support for our veterans suffering from PTSD and other health issues.”
“We cannot do this alone. It takes a village to make this happen. Our
mission with Beverly Hills NORML90210.org is to gather our celebrity and
media contacts to produce a Public Service Announcement campaign to
educate the world about the need and benefits of legalization.”
Cheryl Shuman and Frederic Rhoades have worked together starting
a small farm in Northern California, where they hope to bring all their focus
and knowledge to the business of healing. Complying with the Attorney Gen-
eral guidelines of California they formed “Shaman Therapeutics” a Private
Non-Profit Medical Cannabis Collective that serves seriously ill patients in
both Northern and Southern California.
This is an inspirational time in the history for Marijuana. Sometimes
one get’s behind an issue because it sounds good, and just feels right. In the
case of Cheryl Shuman, it’s not just about fighting for personal freedom’s,
but fighting for one’s own vital lifeline. It’s a shame that the stuffy political
side of this issue has swept into the very personal lives of people like Cheryl
Shuman, and countless others. Let us thank them for their never-ending
drive, determination, and strong will.
Thank you Cheryl for all your hard work. You are an inspiration to many,
and your efforts will continue.

Strain Review:

BLUE DREAM
LIFE’S A DREAM, SMOKE IT UP
IT’S THE PERFECT A high from the Blue Dream strain makes you feel like you’re up in the clouds. Above all
the BS in life. You’re getting work done and making stuff happen. Putting life in motion.
SETTING: SUNNY DAY, Living the dream, with nothing but clear blue skies ahead.

HEADPHONES ON, Blue Dream is a member of the sativa species of Cannabis. A sativa high tends to involve
more thinking, productivity, and increased energy in general. Significant levels of pain
JOINT IN HAND, and nausea are usually also curbed. And while an indica strain will help you to relax,
de-stress, chill out, and/or overcome insomnia, a pure sativa like this should inspire
DAYDREAMING ABOUT exercise, a deep conversation, or an ambitious to-do list.
EVERYTHING AND Fits of laughter and an overwhelming sense of well being are some other nice side
effects. (Why is this stuff illegal again?)
NOTHING AT THE
The physical characteristics of this strain consist of copious red hairs and crystals with
SAME TIME. a moderately sticky and dense feel. The smell is pungent and dank, a smell that almost
gives you a high on its own. Blue Dream is very sweet, both before and after ingestion.
THAT IS WHERE BLUE It has an undeniable fruitiness.
DREAM WILL TAKE YOU. The blue part of its name likely comes from its partial roots in the blueberry strain.
PURE BLISS. Dream is a somewhat odd choice of words, considering sleep is not often a part of
the package. Day dreaming was probably the inspiration. Alternatively, with an indica
you’re likely to dream while sleeping, although you probably won’t remember those
dreams upon awakening.

On the darker side of the Blue Dream, and sativa for that matter, many people become
overwhelmed with paranoia, anxiety, and an increased heart rate. This can be a bit
frightening, but shouldn’t last more than 10-15 minutes. An indica’s negatives would
likely point towards laziness, forgetfulness, and a lack of motivation. Depending on
what you’re needing, these negatives can quickly become refreshing positives.

Marijuana is a person-to-person, situation-to-situation, strain-to-strain experience.

Your high will often depend on the mental state, physical condition, and environment
you bring to the table. And of course, one’s genetic makeup and health are undeniable
factors. But when everything is right and you know it, it’s alllll good... and you know it.

Overall a very pleasant experience is in store for the Blue Dream toker. It is a fairly
cheap sativa, averaging around $45 for an eighth at most established dispensaries.

GO RIDE THE BLUE DREAM WAVE!

itching to see some live tunes now. And while nothing will get your aural juices flowing like Coachella,
Bonnaroo, or the other great music fests, there is still plenty to see & hear in the City of Angels. Here are a
few sweet shows to get you warmed up for the fast approaching spring time! by MICHAEL DILLON

Mariah is touring in support of her 12th studio album, Memoirs

Los Lonely Boys
2.16.10 @ Wiltern (Wilshire/Vermont)
With influences from hip hop, electronic, rock, blues and jazz,
The Garza brothers that make up Los Lonely Boys are from San
Angelo, Texas. They recorded their self titled breakout album in
Willie Nelson’s Austin studio and haven’t looked back since. Their
2008 album Forgiven was recorded in a three session live setting,
and their live show has always been held in high regard. Fans
can expect some good old fashioned Tex-Mex rock ‘n’ roll @ the
Wiltern on Feb 16th.

Fitz & The Tantrums
2.19.10 @ the Echo (Echo Park)
One day, Fitz’s ex-girlfriend called with news about an old church
organ that her neighbor was selling for 50 bills. “Breakin’ the
Chains of Love” was written that same night, using the pain of the
split as inspiration and the organ to create their debut EP, Songs
For A Break-Up Vol. 1.  With touches of 60’s Soul, Motown, and
early Hall & Oates, this show should be a real floor burner.

Jason Mraz
2.27.10 @ Terrace Theater (Long Beach)
Floating around in cyber space, Jason Mraz has a sweet “Billie Jean”
remix with Nikki Kerkhof. That is only moderately important info,
but primarily demonstrates his knack for improv -- which bodes
well for a spicy live show. This night down in Long Beach is called
Cord Progression, a night of music supporting the  Life Rolls
On  tour (motivational speakers), and Spinal Cord Awareness.
Should be inspiring!

LA Happy Hours
That Won’t Depress
Your Wallet
Okay, so the economy’s still in the toilet and money seems to be tight but people still need to go
out and get together with their friends. Does this mean we should cut back on our partying and
bar attendance to keep our wallets thick? Heck no! It simply means we should find great happy
hours that serve up tasty cocktails and grub for a fraction of the price. And, lucky for us L.A.
residents, many of the bars and restaurants in the area offer affordable happy hours to keep our
spirits and funds high. Here are just a few:

Barney’s Beanery
Barney’s Beanery first ignited a spark in West Hol-
lywood in 1920 by offering free beer to the thirsty travel-
ers in exchange for their license plates, and since then this
blaze has spread to Pasadena, Santa Monica, and Burbank.
Each of these four locations heat up the LA nightlife, and
they offer their own sizzling happy hours, along with a hot
line-up of activities such as Wii bowling tournaments, Gui-
tar Hero rock-offs, and karaoke nights. Don’t worry—you
won’t find a singing purple dinosaur at Barney’s karaoke!
However, you will find a weekday happy hour from 4-7pm
that supplies $3.50 beer of the month and $5.00 premium
drinks (available at some locations), and discounted appe-
tizers (Did someone say chicken fingers, Irish nachos, moz-
zarella sticks, and fried zucchini?). Some locations extend
their HH to the weekend and late night, so check in with
your local Barney’s to join in on the fun and save money
while doing so!

entre specials during happy hour.
445 S. Figueroa St. Los Angeles, CA 90071 (213) 486-5171
Buffalo Wild Wings
As the name suggests, this is your one stop for wings, and
you can enhance these meaty bites with a plethora of sauces
from mild to mango habanero to extremely hot. Don’t be a
chicken—sample the spicy ones! Nothing supplements wings
better than an intense sporting match, and these large loca-
tions offer multiple flatscreens for you to simultaneously view
all your favorite games. And, if you visit Buffalo Wild Wings
between Monday-Friday at 4-7pm, you can sip on Bud Light
Wheats for $1.50 and receive half-off select appetizers. If you’re
really hungry for wings, stock up on fowl at Wing Tuesdays (50
cents a wing) or Boneless Thursdays.

MULHOLLAND
Sometimes, it’s hard to spot history in Los Angeles. The old is so often thrown away
for the cleaner and safer, or even just the new and improved. One has to look hard at the
tarmac in the Hollywood Hills with a pair of nostalgic eyes to see the glory days gone by.

AND AT THE VERY TOP IS

By J. MARK STERNBERG

MULHOLLAND DRIVE.
Once upon a time these hill roads were dominated by a group
of passionate, misunderstood people. The freedom sought by the
Mulholland Drive racers isn’t as tangible as that of a surfer, or any
other of California’s well embraced traditions.  For better or worse,
this is the pastime of the shunned and, at times, the prosecuted.
Built in 1924, Mulholland Drive was billed as ‘a gift to Los Angeles.’
In reality, the road was built with the same intention as much as the
rest of LA; to make some real estate prospectors rich. The plan was to
connect LA to the San Fernando Valley, and sell houses in between.
The idea was solid, but, early on, nobody who invested really stood to
make any sort of money off of the deal.
Mulholland did live up to its original billing though. Originally
made out of dirt, it was a motoring enthusiasts dream with beautiful
vistas and enigmatic bends.  Even in the early days, there were stories
of people like Gary Cooper ravaging the Drive in his supercharged
Duesenberg after a long day’s work at the studio.
The road, however, wouldn’t reach its legendary status until the
1940s.  After World War II, the mechanics returned home with
newfound knowledge of the internal combustion engine, and
opinions on how to improve it.  Hot-rodding, at least as a facet of
American pop culture, was born.
Racing on Mulholland hit its peak from the 1960s through the
1980s. Back then racers and fans alike would come out after sundown
and race through the hills. The rules were simple; because overtaking
was too dangerous on the narrow public road, one car would start
in front of the other, if one car could pull away from the other, that
car was the winner.  Night after night for years, LA’s amateur racers
would come out to prove who was fastest, just for the hell of it.
There were serious drivers too. Professional racing drivers based
out of LA were said to have taken their race cars out for laps around
Mulholland for quick shakedowns when the racetracks were too far,
or too expensive. James Dean and Steve McQueen also famously
used to hone their skills there.
Each generation of canyon racers had its own cliques and rock
stars. There are stories of one Porsche 911 pilot who would drink to
complete excess, than rip through the course with savage abandon,
throwing empty beer cans at slower racers as he shot by.
Some of the stories are sure to have been embellished over the
years, but that adds to the mystique of it all too.
In the 1980s, the scene became a victim of its own success. With the
notoriety the racers had earned over the years came popularity and
unwanted attention. Amateurs would come out and push themselves
beyond their limits with more and more regularity. The scene became
excessively unsafe, even by street-racing standards.  
Pairing the growing number of accidents with advancements in
technology (and, of course, Ralph Nader), a police crackdown was
inevitable. There have been more than a few over the years; one, the
cleverly named ‘Operation Safe Canyons’, was as recent as 2005.
Today the road has fallen into disrepair. Large cracks in the concrete
are tough on cars with sporty suspensions. Traffic has become a
problem too; the road is often cluttered with star map clutching
tourists, and people just trying to commute from their houses.
Go out at night or on a weekend and you might spot a dedicated
corps who still head out to put their cars through their paces on
California’s most notorious canyon road. They are the truly afflicted
who stuck it out through the popularity surge that came from the
“The Fast and the Furious” movies and the drifting craze.
In that, the road almost becomes a perfect metaphor for LA as a
whole. Marred by overpopulation and general government neglect it
sits as a shell of glory days gone by, preserved in the actions of the
passionate enthusiast; reliving the glory days of a past lifetime.

 By DAVID L. HERRICK

“David L. Herrick walks the walk.

And here he talks the talk in his own voice. First, though, a bit of biography.
Herrick is a medically retired deputy sheriff from San Bernardino County.
He opened the Orange County Cannabis Buyers Club (along with Marvin
Chavez) – the second such club in Southern California to the Los Angeles
Patient Resource Center. He is a court certified expert witness who
has done extensive work with the Kern County Public Defender’s Office,
and has been used by them as an expert witness in medical cannabis
use cases. Mr. Herrick was a combat infantry medic in Vietnam with the
First Air Cavalry Division 1969-1970, He worked in law enforcement
for fifteen years until rendered 100% disabled from a traffic
accident, and he has been involved in the medicinal use of
cannabis issue since 1995. Mr. Herrick currently works
part time for the Cannabis Association for Research
and Education a 501© (3) organization out of Orange
County, he also teaches classes on law enforcement
encounters, and he has appeared on the end-of-season
episode of “Weeds” on DVD. He can be reached at
dherrick@earthlink.net.” (From the Editors of Kush Magazine)
80 kush L.A.
 he other day I was browsing through my e-mail,
and I came upon a discussion between two
very active members of the “Medicinal Use
Community.” I got caught up with one of them
acting like he was a “Father” concerned for his
child. The other author continued with the discussion by adding
that although not a Forefather, he felt as though he owed it to the
“Movement” to keep an eye open for those deals and dealers that
were too good to be true, and, who were more a detriment then
asset.
Please allow me to introduce myself; I am a man of no wealth
and a little fame. I was the first person in Orange County, and in
Southern California for that matter, to be arrested, tried, convicted,
(using Proposition 215 as a defense) and sentenced to four years
in state prison for using marijuana as medicine. After spending 29
months incarcerated, I had my conviction reversed by the Fourth
District Court of Appeal for “Prosecutorial Misconduct with Tacit
Judicial Approval.” But there is more to the story then just my
trial, since it involves the early history of Prop 215 as well as
the “Movement” in Orange County, Los Angeles County, and all
points south of Fresno and north of Mexico.
You see there was the northern contingent and the southern
contingent, which was all held together by Californians for
Compassionate Use, run by our good friends and well known
activists, Chris Conrad and Mikki Norris.
Now this was the group responsible for collecting all of the
petitions gathered throughout California, and they made certain
that the total signatures collected were enough to get Proposition
215 on the ballot. They did an awesome job as usual, for Chris
and Mikki are known for their involvement in this issue, and there
credentials are astounding, to say the least.
Meanwhile, I was caught in an unfortunate situation: In late
1995 I was discovered to have in my possession two, clear-plastic
sandwich baggies containing one-eighth ounce of cannabis, each.
Unable to prove “Sales” the deputy district attorney decided to
charge me with “Possession for Sale” do to the “Packaging.” He
succeeded in getting a felony conviction in early 1996, where I
was placed on felony probation, given community service, drug
testing, and constant visits to my home and business by the County
Probation office.
Prior to this incident I was involved in a vehicle accident in
January 1990. I sustained a major injury to my lower back and discs.
Surgery was required, and, needless to say, I got to experiment with
all the prescribed pharmaceuticals -- and we know what those are
now, don’t we? (The accident was caused by a “Park to Reverse”
situation, in which while exiting the vehicle, the door came back
and caught me causing me to fall, and subsequently the vehicle ran
over me).
I was fortunate to have a physician who was interested in
Proposition 215, and he told me that if it ever passed, he would
recommend cannabis for me. And I was all in favor of anything
that would get me off of those pills.
Now fast forward to early 1996 and my community service
order where the judge specifically stated that I could not do
community service with any group that catered to my “political
beliefs.” So off I went to the office that issued the basic community
service jobs. I was promptly asked if I was a child molester. I
responded “definitely not, I’m here for pot,” at which point the
nice clerk handed me a form and a book which listed the various
positions available. In the book I came across the Orange County
Hemp Council, and immediately called them, and they assured
me that they could and would sign off my “Community Service”
verification form.
Needless to say, I was in the best community service position.
And, since I commuted from Hesperia to Huntington Beach, I got
credit for driving time as well as for holding “Yes On 215” signs
on Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. I collected signatures
and registered people to vote. I enjoyed my time with the O.C.H.C.
so much that I stayed even when my community service time had
expired. It was at this point that the push to get “215” on the ballot
became our top priority.
We held “Yes On 215” rallies at the Federal Building on
Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood. We held rallies in Long Beach,
in Riverside, and every place we could secure that allowed us to
vend, or have live music -- and somehow they all came together.
ince the primary goal of our little band of activists
was hemp education, we found we had friends all
over the state. Due to that, the O.C.H.C. became
one of the most active groups involved in getting
locations, setting up rallies, and getting those
much-needed signatures. We worked closely with the L.A.P.R.C.
and others, and made certain that we were represented at the three-
day seminar held in San Luis Obispo, which was attended by
practically everyone involved in getting Prop 215 on the ballot.
If I had to make a guess, I would say that fewer than 300 people
were responsible for getting 215 on the statewide ballot. It was
a one-time shot, and we all knew it, so we went all out. When
the proposition secured a spot on the ballot, we turned our efforts
to registering new voters, and attended mandatory classes put on
by the Registrar of Voters, so that we would be able to register
thousands, if need be.
When all was said and done, we held an election-night party at
a local sports bar in Santa Ana, and watched as it looked as though
the proposition would be defeated. But much to our surprise,
the very next morning we discovered that 56% of those who
bothered to vote that day, voted in favor of implementing “The
Compassionate Use Act of 1996.”
We had endured all of the lies being spread by then-Attorney
General Dan Lungren. We survived the last-minute push to get
signatures and the need to raise funds to pay professional signature
gatherers to get them. And we survived all the hate and discontent,
all the ego, all the animosity, and all the innuendo being made
about us that was so far from the truth, that we would have laughed
if we had the time to do so.
That movement was similar to the civil rights demonstrations,
in my opinion. And since I am now 60 years young, I can honestly
say that I was a part of both the civil rights issue and the ending
of the war in Vietnam. I marched in both Vietnam Veterans against
the War marches in Washington D.C.
(continued on the next page)

 nd now the next big issue to come down the pike
is the medicinal use of cannabis. Its legitimacy
as a viable medicinal substance with very few
side effects is beyond question, and the science
is there to prove us right. With countless stories
of tremendous success, I cannot deny the validity of this drug. Yes,
by definition, it is a narcotic, but then again so is alcohol. I prefer
the safety of cannabis towards poisonous alcohol any day. (The
definition of a narcotic is that it must alter the psyche, eliminate
or alleviate pain, and induce sleep.) Cannabis does do that and so
does alcohol.
Some older activists are indeed right when they say a lot of
people have joined in these last 13-plus years, and not all of them
are nice. Some are entrepreneurs, some are thieves, some are flat-
out scandalous -- and they need to be exposed.
When one comes across these types of individuals, then I
would hope that one would do what is right. If you are sitting back
We have not gone anywhere, we are still around, still
available, still active, still concerned, still keeping an
eye on our baby, and still wanting to see positive results,
safe access, and affordable, good quality medicine.
waiting for someone else to take the flame and run with it, I have
news for you: It won’t happen. For you see, even we are surprised
we got this on the ballot, much less passed. And if you look at the
California map depicting which of the fifty-eight Counties passed
“215,” you will note that it was the northern contingent that pulled
it out.
I appreciate the dialogue being bandied back and forth on the
chat lists, because it just proves that this issue is just as important
to those who have joined recently as it is to those who have been
around since the beginning.
I was not in the “back rooms” where this issue was being
hammered out. And, yes, I do know a lot of the forefathers and
foremothers -- and some people even remember me. But like so
many of us, we have not gone anywhere, we are still around, still
available, still active, still concerned, still keeping an eye on our
baby, and still wanting to see positive results, safe access, and
affordable, good quality medicine.
It has always been my desire to see this issue succeed, but
unless we are willing to regulate our industry I can assure you
the governments will do it for us. And considering the bans,
moratoriums, ordinances, and zoning regulations sprouting up all
over the state, it doesn’t appear that law enforcement is going to let
up -- much less local, county, and state government.
Face it, they don’t like us, and the ironic part is we are the
least of anyone’s concern. People who use cannabis usually
have stuff. They have houses, cars, computers, televisions, home
82 kush
entertainment centers, etc. They file income tax returns, pay taxes,
and for the most part are law-abiding citizens.
None of us set out to make anyone else a second-class citizen. It
was never our intention to do anything but let the people decide, and
therefore the push to get the necessary number of signatures became
tantamount to fulfilling our dream, our goal. Safe, affordable access,
no black market, and legal cultivation. That’s all.
Now we see Pandora’s Box open, with who knows how many
dispensing facilities, delivery services, and recommendation
writing locations, with fees that forces one to wonder, how can
this be? How safe am I? And will this discount physician testify
in court? Is this discount physician even a physician? And in the
dispensaries: is the medicine safe? How was it grown?
No this isn’t one of those “my case is more severe than yours,”
nor am I professing to be something I am not. The fact remains
that we were the second cannabis dispensing operation in all of
southern California back in 1996. I have been around the block with
this issue on more than one occassion . Even after incarceration
that stole more than four years of my life, I am not bitter, and
never have been. I continue to be active. I continue to attend as
many functions and meetings as possible and I support the gains
and efforts of all involved. Just realize that not all cannabis users
are good people. That just because they are involved in this issue
doesn’t make them extraordinary. There are rip-off artists at every
level.
I just hope that in 2010 we can start putting aside our many
differences, and start working on regulating, and forming alliances,
and weed out (no pun intended) those who are criminal in intent
and means.
I have worked with too many people over the years to not
believe for one instant, that cannabis is a viable medicine, and
since we have placed it in to this category, we don’t have much
choice, we need to get more States to come on board with their
own medicinal use laws, or we need to register every patient that
we can, to prove that the numbers do exist.
Personally, I like the 26-state theory of “get 26 states to enact medicinal
use laws, then what are the Feds going to do?” Hopefully they’ll move it
from a Schedule One, to a Schedule Two or Three offense.
It will be nice to see cannabis placed where it really belongs for
a change -- off of Schedule One and back in the U.S. Pharmacopeia
where it has always belonged.

STATE LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE ON-SITE CULTIVATION
With the passage of The Compassionate Use Act (Proposition 215)
in 1996, California became the first state to decriminalize personal use,
cultivation and possession of medical marijuana. Fourteen years later,
Los Angeles may become the first city to force multiple hundreds of
dispensing cooperatives and collectives to shut down and force scores of
others to attempt to relocate within a limited number of available areas.
Representing the culmination of years of deliberation, on January 26,
2010, the Los Angeles City Council approved a far-reaching, draconian
medical marijuana ordinance by a vote of 9 to 3. The stated purpose and
intent of the ordinance is “to regulate the collective cultivation of medical
marijuana,” and this concept was reiterated on numerous occasions by
council members throughout the course of its work on the ordinance.
If enforced as drafted, however, the ordinance may look more like an
effort to strangulate, rather than simply regulate, safe access to medical
marijuana in Los Angeles.
The ordinance caps the number of dispensing collectives and
cooperatives at 70, but permits between approximately 137 and 150 of
the 186 pre-ICO entities (those that filed with the City Clerk’s office on
or before November 13, 2007 pursuant to Interim Control Ordinance
No. 179,027) to apply to continue operations, provided that such entities
comply with two requirements set forth in the ordinance regarding
location. First, such entities must not be within 1000 feet of a school,
park, public library, religious institution, child care facility, youth center,
substance abuse rehabilitation center, or any other medical marijuana
dispensary. Second, such entities may not be on a lot that is abutting,
across the street or alley from, or having a common corner with, a
residentially zoned lot or a lot improved with a residential use, including
a mixed use residential building.
In addition to placing constraints that will severely limit where
dispensing collectives or cooperatives may be located, the ordinance also
imposes many wide-ranging operational requirements including, but
not limited to, cultivation, security, surveillance, community relations,
on-site activities, audits, recordkeeping, compensation, reimbursements,
inventory storage and quantity limits, banking procedures, product
testing, hours of operation, membership, signage, lighting, and fire and
burglar monitoring.
The ordinance also includes a detailed timetable of mandatory actions
and requires operators to be in a position to act quickly. The first key
By GARY HILLER
deadline is one week following the ordinance’s effective date, which will
be determined based on when the City Council approves a registration fee
structure as is required by the ordinance.
Remarkably, because City Attorney Carmen Trutanich’s office controlled
the drafting of the ordinance rather than the City Council’s staff, final
language in the measure does not even reflect the will of the legislative body
that approved it. This occurred because remnants of earlier versions of the
ordinance, all of which were drafted by the City Attorney’s office, remain in
the final ordinance despite the fact that such remnants directly contradict
decisive votes taken by the City Council.
For example, and perhaps most notably, the Council unanimously
approved an amendment that specifically rejected an on-site cultivation
requirement proposed by the City Attorney’s office. The City Attorney
had drafted language that would have prohibited any cooperative from
possessing or providing marijuana that was not cultivated at the current
or previous “location of the collective.” By a vote of 13-0 on December
8, 2009, the Council replaced that language with amendment “DD”
proposed by Councilman Ed Reyes that simply requires all marijuana to
be “cultivated by the collective in strict accordance with State Law and
this article.”
Despite this clear statement of intent by the City Council to reject an
on-site cultivation requirement, a later section of the final ordinance
(Section 45.19.6.3(B)(10)) prohibits providing medical marijuana to any
persons other than members who participate in the collectively cultivation
of marijuana “at or upon the location of that collective.” A remnant of
the City Attorney’s on-site cultivation requirement also appears in the
definition of “Medical marijuana collective” which refers to individuals
“who associate at a particular location to collectively or cooperatively
cultivate marijuana for medical purposes. . . .”
THE CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY REJECTED AN ON-SITE
CULTIVATION REQUIREMENT.
STATE LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE ON-SITE CULTIVATION.
State appellate courts have not interpreted the 1996 Compassionate
Use Act or the 2003 Medical Marijuana Program Act as requiring on-
site cultivation.
 California Attorney General’s August 2008 Guidelines for the Security
and Non-Diversion of Marijuana Grown for Medical Use specifically
states that cooperatives “should acquire marijuana only from their
constituent members” and “then allocate it to other members of the
group” --- clearly indicating that cultivation should not, and cannot, be
conducted at a single location.

And, ironically, Los Angeles County’s medical marijuana ordinance

that regulates entities in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County
specifically prohibits growing at dispensary sites (Title 22 – Planning and
Zoning of the Los Angeles County Code, Section 22.56.196(E)(12)).

AND YET, AS APPROVED, THE LANGUAGE OF THE LOS

ANGELES CIT Y ORDINANCE DRAFTED BY THE CITY
ATTORNEY’S OFFICE REQUIRES ON-SITE CULTIVATION.

Another drafting issue was fortunately addressed at the eleventh hour at

the urging of an attorney with the Medical Marijuana Law Group. Although
the City Council deliberately expressed its desire to protect the rights of all
pre-ICO entities to continue to operate in the city, the City Attorney’s draft
only protected entities that filed with the City Clerk on or before November
11, 2007 – two days prior to the 5PM deadline set forth under the ICO.
This language was changed at the last moment to allow entities that filed
on or before November 13, 2007 to seek protection under the ordinance.
Had the language not been changed, entities that filed with the City Clerk
on November 12th and 13th 2007 would have lost their ability to legally
continue operations.

Fortunately, the ordinance expires two years following its effective

date, thereby requiring the City Council to review its terms to determine
whether any changes need to be made. Although it has yet to go into
effect, it is already clear that many changes will in fact need to be made.
Even Councilman Ed Reyes who led the effort to pass the ordinance said
“this is not the end,” noting “we still have a lot of work to day . . . it’s a
living document so it’s going to continue to change.”

Until that time, dispensing cooperatives and collectives should

carefully follow guidance offered by state Supreme Court and appellate
court decisions, as well as the 2008 Attorney General guidelines, to
protect themselves from law enforcement personnel who may look to flex
their muscles enforcing poorly drafted, draconian regulations.
