__________

Oakland's Measure Z (passed with 65% support by voters on Nov. 2, 2004)
[Note: This is not about medical marijuana, but about adult rights!]

Measure Z calls on the city to make private, adult marijuana offenses
(including possession, sales, and cultivation) law enforcement's lowest
priority and to tax and regulate marijuana legally (to sell through licensed
businesses) as soon as possible under state law. See http://www.yesonz.org/
for details.
