The Weed Keeps Growing In San Francisco
S.F. Chronicle reports: “To the frustration of residents and city officials, San Francisco’s 2-month-old moratorium on pot clubs is apparently having little effect — with as many as six new clubs opening in recent weeks.”
To quote Gomer Pyle (who, incidentally, would make a great candidate for the city’s board of supervisors): “Suuhprise, suuhprise, suhhprise!”
“This week, Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, joined by Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, introduced a resolution urging City Attorney Dennis Herrera to take action against the illegal clubs, which could now bring the total number of cannabis dispensaries in the city to 44, more than any city in America.“I do have some concerns that people are flouting the law, making a mockery of it,” Elsbernd said. “I appreciate it’s a complex issue. But disagreement is not an excuse for inaction. We need to get going.”
Mocking the law in San Francisco? Nah. Get out. Just another example that the City is always willing to tackle the tough issues.
“The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes at the recommendation of a physician was deemed legal in California after voters in 1996 approved the Compassionate Use Act, also known as Proposition 215. However, any use of the drug remains illegal under federal law, and a ruling by the Supreme Court on Monday affirmed the right of federal authorities to seize marijuana plants and prosecute patients and their suppliers.”
Once the genie is out of the bottle, all you have is smoke.

[...] NOTE: For the reading impaired, Bill O’Reilly is NOT (in no way) suggesting or recommending that anyone “blow up” Coit Tower. However, based on San Francisco’s insistence to alienate itself from the rest of America — legalizing homosexual marriages (with the Mayor himself presiding), promoting public S&M exhibitionism, harboring left-wing extremists, legalizing marijuana, holding a defiant middle-finger up to our military, banning legal gun ownership and recruiting for our armed forces — O’Reilly is simply pointing out that, given the City’s disrespect for homeland security (let alone personal security), “Baghdad by the Bay” should be the last place deserving of defense. San Francisco can use its liberal arrogance to fend for itself. [...]
