Santa Cruz City Council lifts smoking ban for medical cannabis smokers

More on the Santa Cruz City Council’s decision from CBS 5 in the Bay Area:

The City Council decided to suspend the smoking ban for a few hours Saturday after medical marijuana patients pleaded for permission to light up at the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana festival at San Lorenzo Park.

But pot smokers can only smoke dope in a tent designated for that purpose.

Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana is a cooperative started in 1993 for seriously ill medical marijuana patients to grow and share pot to ease various symptoms.
