SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Supe wants local marijuana ID card program reinstated

Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi has introduced a resolution urging the
Department of Public Health to abandon the state's Medical Marijuana
Identification Card program and reinstate the local program.

In 2006, state law mandated that all counties do away with any local
marijuana ID card program and implement the statewide program instead.
The state, however, plans on raising ID card fees in March from $13 to
$142 for non-Medi-Cal beneficiaries and from $6.50 to $71 for those
covered by Medi-Cal. The state's program will become "too expensive to
be viable," the resolution says.
