Southern California Norml has posted Current San Diego Police Enforcement Procedure Documents. You need to read these.
Cal NORML is investigating complaints from chronic pain patients who have been forced to submit to drug testing and threatened with a cutoff of prescription pain medications if they use medical marijuana.
Please let us know if you are aware of any patients in San Diego who have had this problem.
Pain clinics have been under increasing pressure to drug test their patients due to concerns about diversion of prescription opium.
Despite the fact that clinics are under no legal obligation whatsoever to test for marijuana, many have been doing so out of fear of government prosecution. Not a single doctor has ever been punished for allowing medical marijuana use.
Medically, there is no justification for denying marijuana to chronic pain patients. Numerous studies have shown that marijuana is helpful for chronic pain, and actually helps patients reduce their
use of addictive opiates. We are seeking to bring this problem to
the attention of policy makers, and have an info packet for patients abused by pain doctors. http://www.canorml.org/paincomplaints.html

This was our booth on Martin Luther King Day. It was very windy and then at about 2:30 the sky opened up and it poured. We got soaked. Most our info that we had left got soaked. But we had a concert to do. The night went great. The concert was free to the public.It was a wild and fun day
San Diego Uptown Community Planning Committee voted unanimously to aprove the task force recomendations and go with a process 2 for land use.
Southern California NORML represents a man put on trial twice for the same medical marijuana charges in San Diego. Although his case is on appeal, the DA tried to revoke his bail, and recently argued that he should have to register as a Narcotics offender. You can do something. REGISTER TO VOTE!
