On September 15th, the SF San Francisco Planning Commission recommended Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi's proposal for the regulation of medical marijuana dispensary clinics. In an Evans-McDonough poll of San Francisco residents that was released September 14, 91% of respondents had said that they support medical cannabis for people whose doctors recommend it. Free Pot! organizers say that this demonstrates that San Franciscans of all backgrounds expect local authorities to stand up for patients' rights and safe access. FREE POT! was sponsored by Americans for Safe Access, HempEvolution.org, the Libertarian Party of San Francisco, and the California Marijuana Party.
