San Francisco Pot Kerfuffle

(San Francisco, California) District Attorney George Gascón has issued a position paper stating that local dispensaries are illegally selling marijuana.

“Yes,” said David Goldman, a medical cannabis patient and leading member of Americans for Safe Access in San Francisco.

“It doesn't look good. It severely jeopardizes safe access.”

A PDF of the memo from Gascón’s office began circulating last weekend. Gascon’s office filed the memo in San Francisco County Superior Court in a case against a medical cannabis dispensary that delivered the anti-nausea drug to a collective member.

It's not clear how the controversy will be resolved. Existing laws and regulations are somewhat ambiguous.
