US: Upland council bans marijuana sales
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
Wednesday 15 Nov 2006 UPLAND -- Marijuana sales were prohibited after a unanimous vote at Monday's City Council meeting. The plant can still be smoked by residents who have a medical need and permission from their physician, said council members, but marijuana retail outlets have been banned from the city. "(The vote) is to prevent dedicated point of sales," said Bill Curley, city attorney. Based on the controversy surrounding the issue, council members have said there is tension behind the subject. State law permits it but federal law prohibits it, Curley said. Despite the idea of self-help, the city decided that the dispensaries would not have brought anything to Upland. Anybody who has a proper permit is able to cultivate it, possess it, use it or transport it, Curley said. "(The vote) won't alter that. It doesn't impact the people who have permission to use it." http://www.dailybulletin.com/news/ci_4661263 -- WebBooks Amazing Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.co.uk/webbooks05
