Cathedral City to Pass Collective Ban
| By Americans for Safe Access | Published May 11, 2009 |
Dear ASA, the following is from Lanny Swerdlow, ASA Affiliate Marijuana Anti Prohibition Project:
CATHEDRAL CITY TO PASS COLLECTIVE BAN
In what has to be one of the most rapid responses ever, the Cathedral City staff has put together an ordinance to ban collectives. Like all the ordinances that have been passed, it is way off base and violates state law. However, because there has been no appellate court decision, there is no case law. There is a case from Anaheim that is being appealed by ASA that
is challenging these bans as unconstitutional. The argument goes that the ban is in conflict with California state law, and, as a result of that conflict, local bans are preempted because the state has clearly expressed an intent that dispensaries be considered legal entities.
In any case, Cathedral City is going ahead with the ban so please drop by the Cathedral
City Council meeting this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and let them know that what they are doing is
ethically and legally wrong. They need to hear that what they are doing is wrong. If they don't hear it from you,
they are not going to hear it.
I will be there and would welcome you being there as well. It is this Wednesday, May 13 at 6:30
p.m. in the Council Chambers on the 3rd floor in Cathedral City Hall, located on Hwy. 111 (East
Palm Canyon) one block east of Cathedral Canyon Blvd. The address of the Cathedral City Hall is
68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City 92234. For a map go to the following link -

Take a moment and send an email protesting the ban to the City Clerk's office at
bmcgladrey@cathedralcity.gov. - remember to include your name. You can also make a phone call to 760-770-0322.
