The dual nature of cannabis—it’s both a “vice” and a health elixir, and sometimes both at once—makes it hard to regulate.

As part of its sweeping public health order, Santa Clara county has made recreational cannabis dispensaries illegal again.

The author of Measure C, a ballot initiative that would replace San Jose’s medical marijuana laws, announced today that he opposes his own campaign.

Chuck Reed spent half his tenure as mayor of San Jose battling pot clubs. Now he’s joining forces with collectives for 4/20.

San Jose may assign Mayor Sam Liccardo to pen argument and rebuttal against an initiative that aims to replace the city's medical marijuana ordinance.

Sixteen pot clubs have passed legal muster to operate in San Jose. The surviving collectives include some of the biggest players in the local industry

A political action committee has revived an effort to replace San Jose’s pot ordinance with one approved by voters.

A sweeping package of bills signed by Gov. Jerry Brown will transform California’s billion-dollar medical marijuana sector.

New rules for medical marijuana collectives in San Jose go into effect July 18, but the fight between cannabis advocates and City Hall continues.

An ordinance that would limit medical marijuana collectives to just 1 percent of the city comes up for a final reading at the City Council this week.

After three hours of public testimony and discussion, city leaders tabled a vote on how to better regulate cannabis clubs.

Two years after the marijuana industry overturned local regulations on collectives, city officials aim to give it another shot.

Under a regulatory proposal making its way through City Hall, all but a handful of local pot clubs would have to shutter or relocate.

Monday’s state Supreme Court ruling that cities can choose to ban medical marijuana dispensaries counts as a setback—assuming setbacks can be measured by nothing lost, nothing gained. According to local medical marijuana collective operators and advocates, the court’s unanimous decision did little more than uphold the status quo, after the city of Riverside’s decision in 2009 to declare a moratorium and shutter 56 dispensaries. The ruling now upholds bans in about 200 other California cities, including local municipalities such as Palo Alto and Gilroy. But the same industry experts who dismiss the court’s decision as inconsequential also see a silver lining.

U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag’s war on medical marijuana is a violation of current federal Department of Justice policy, an embarrassment to the President of the United States and is, literally, threatening the health and safety of our community. She should be removed from her post, immediately.
