DESCRIPTION:This Tuesday at 3 PM, Santa Cruz City Council will be considering an 
 emergency moratorium on new medical marijuana dispensaries in the City 
 limits (Item #  17 An Uncodified Interim Ordinance of the City of Santa 
 Cruz Imposing a Temporary Moratorium on the Establishment of Medical 
 Marijuana Dispensaries and Production Houses in the City of Santa Cruz and 
 Declaring the Urgency Thereof. \n\nAt the Sleeping Ban/Boycott Bunny's 
 Shoes Protest downtown on Saturday, I ran into medical marijuana activist 
 Craig Canada (http://www.palmspringsbum.com/ ).  He made me aware of an 
 upcoming sneak attack on Medical Marijuana at City Council this Tuesday. He 
 mentions it in a response on the Sentinel Topix website 
 (http://www.topix.net/forum/source/santa-cruz-sentinel/TFDQ6RAE14QVCP9BA/p2#c31 
 )\n\nThe Emergency Moratorium on New Medical Marijuana Dispensaries comes 
 up at Santa Cruz City Council this Tuesday at 3 PM is a new emergency 
 ordinance to suspend all new marijuana club applications.

 agenda report 
 (http://64.175.136.240/sirepub/cache/2/ewouwy45hpkd2u55qg3h2s55/215649706202009083523788.PDF 
 ) doesn't give any evidence whatsoever of a huge flow of such applications 
 nor any specifics about the "current and immediate threat to\nthe public 
 health, safety, or welfare" involved.\n\nThe issue hasn't even made it into 
 the Sentinel except in the bigoted and Prohibitionist-heavy Sentinel Topix 
 forum comment section to an article in today's paper about carcinogens in 
 marijuana smoke ("State rules marijuana smoke is a carcinogen, may require 
 dispensaries to post warnings" at 
 http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/localnews/ci_12654249 ).\n\nWhere's the 
 emergency? Why is it being crammed onto the afternoon session? Why the 
 complete lack of publicity?\n\nContact City Council at 420-5020 to oppose 
 this Rush to New Prohibition, which has received zero public notice in any 
 widely read newspaper or website.\n
