Good news for MMJ in SoCal.

Two medical cannabis collectives have formed in San Diego within the last month. This is good news since San Diego use to have a dozen or so dispensaries but through loopholes and lack of protection under state law the authorities shut them down, and San Diego has been dispensary free for several years now. Since collectives are non-profit clinics operated by mmj patients they are are covered 100% by state-law and recent CA supreme court decisions. Combine that with Holder's announcement of a new policy easing off of these clinics, I cannot see the anti-mmj authorities down here having any legal power over the establishments. They do not have the Feds for back-up any more either, the dam has broke, more shall be on the way.

I looked up San Diego on one of those special google maps that show how many providers are in your zip code. If this map is reliable and most of these places are still open, then there are over a dozen providers (all collectives) in San Diego. Without federal resources and no legal high ground they cannot stop it. This really is a big win for us considering how anti-cannabis San Diego is.

^This is good to hear, as I am from North County SD and am still finding it to be ridiculous that all of the headshops are down.
