CITY SEEKS STATE BACKING FOR MEDICINAL USE OF POT

The City Council decided there won't be an ordinance allowing medicinal
marijuana in the city.

Instead, the council voted Tuesday to send letters to state and federal
officials urging them to support state Senate Bill 187, which would develop
a plan to implement California's voter-approved Proposition 215 legalizing
pot use with a doctor's recommendation.

The proposition conflicts with a federal ban on marijuana use. In May, the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled that there is no medical necessity exception to
the U.S. Controlled Substance Act.
