The medical marijuana community has been filled with a mix of anticipation and dread in regard to the contents of a measure being assembled by Representative Tom Massey intended to regulate the industry. Many fear what's become known as the law-enforcement bill will limit the number of patients per caregiver to five, thereby essentially destroying the dispensary model.
Well, the waiting game is almost over. Massey will hold a press conference about the bill at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon -- and a knowledgeable source says the results are apt to look closer to the original draft assembled by Senator Chris Romer than Colorado Attorney General John Suthers's dream legislation. The headline items: a one year "time out" to allow the industry to get organized and a shift away from dispensaries and toward clinics and health centers.

Never mistake the homemade pot brownie found at a frat party for the marijuana dispensary's pot brownie. So much more goes into the making of the medical-use treat -- higher grade trimmings and quality butter, for starters. Plus a brownie like Big Sexy's Sinful Sweets Peanut Butter Confession, available in most L.A. dispensaries, has just the right dosage and the correct strain of cannabis to give a patient suffering from depression an uplifting, energizing feeling. A patient looking for a muscle-relaxing edible, say, would probably want to go with the cannabis-laced ice cream instead.

Los Angeles Times - Local - January 29, 2010
Supporters gather what is likely to be enough signatures to put their measure on the state ballot in November.
Proponents of an initiative to make California the first state to legalize marijuana have collected about 693,800 signatures, virtually guaranteeing that the measure will appear on a crowded November ballot.
"This is a historic first step toward ending cannabis prohibition," said Richard Lee, the measure's main backer.
Advocates, trailed by television cameras and photographers, dropped off petitions with elections officials in the state's largest counties, including Los Angeles, where organizers said 143,105 voters signed.
Lee, a successful Oakland marijuana entrepreneur, bankrolled a professional signature-gathering effort that circulated the petition in every county except Alpine, which only has about 800 registered voters.

 After years of wrangling and foot-dragging the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday gave final approval to a law that would essentially shut down nearly 475 medical marijuana dispensaries in the city while allowing another 137 or so to remain open.
