Support Needed: Stanislaus County Under Attack!!

We need patients and advocates from Stanislaus County to get involved!!!
Without some kind of local advocacy, Stanislaus County is about to become
a much worse place to live...

Yesterday's Modesto Bee has a good summary of the situation; be sure to
read all the way to the end:

Please contact Nathan Sands ASAP at (916) 709-2483 if you are a patient
and/or supporter in Stanislaus!!

Also: The Riverbank City Council will meet on Monday, March 13th at 7:00
PM to vote on a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries. The City
Council has not stated whether they will pursue a permanent ban, but the
agenda for this meeting does include the following:

"At the February 27 Council meeting the City Council reviewed the staff
report and attachments regarding harmful secondary effects with existing
medical marijuana dispensaries in the state and more locally in Stanislaus
County, including increased crime and blight, as well as ongoing conflicts
with federal policies for controlled substances."
