Planning Commission Hearing May Seal Fate of New Medical Marijuana Clubs in Santa Cruz : Indybay

Tue Nov 17 2009 City of Santa Cruz May Ban New Medical Marijuana Clubs on November 19th

The meeting will be open to the public. Only one item will be on the agenda--the Marijuana Club Ban,--continued from an earlier Commission meeting two weeks ago.
