Golden Rain Foundation Trying to Weed out California Medical Marijuana Card Holders from Growing Their Own Medicine Onsite

Forbes reports that valid holders of California Medical Marijuana Cards living in Laguna Woods Village retirement community are now being forced to grow their medicine offsite after the home owner’s association banned growing in community.

A recent article that was published by Forbes tells the saga of a 2-year old medical marijuana collective of senior citizens who live in the middle of the Laguna Woods Village retirement community in one of the most affluent and conservative areas of Southern California. Collective members are encouraged to grow medical marijuana from some 40 varieties of experimental designer-seeds, such as “Sour Tsunami,” which purportedly posses anti-inflammatory properties designed to better meet the medical needs of seniors.

The 150 seniors who belong to the collective (each of whom has a state issued California medical marijuana card) represent a tiny minority (less than 1% (0.8333%)) of the total 18,000 senior citizens living in Laguna Woods Village – one of the largest retirement communities in the country.

While the federal government poses a constant threat to the collective, the collective’s president says that their biggest problems come from the members of the volunteer board of the Golden Rain Foundation (GRF), which governs the retirement community and maintains all of the community property, facilities, and amenities within the 3 square-mile area of Laguna Woods Village.

Although community residents with California medical marijuana cards are still permitted to grow the state legal limit of 6 seedlings or mature marijuana plants per person in their private residence, GRF adopted a new policy last year banning cultivation of marijuana on all community property in Laguna Woods Village, including the community garden.

The vote empowered GRF’s Community Activities Committee's Garden Center Advisory Group to shut down the public pot-plots operated by resident members of the collective – forcing the collective’s resident-growers to rip out dozens of over-6-foot-high pot plants they had been growing on their 800-square-foot plot in the Laguna Woods Village community garden.

After several disastrous attempts to find an alternative growing site, one resident member of the collective has reportedly started an organic growing operation in two off-site greenhouses to supply the medical marijuana needed by collective members. Cost is on a sliding scale: members pay between $35 and $200 per ounce, depending on need and financial ability.

Long Beach City Council to Be Raided by Medical Marijuana Activists

Patient and caregivers who have been continuously harassed by police in Long Beach over collectives and dispensaries plant to pay back the raiding with one of their own.

If you have been approved for a California medical marijuana card and you happen to reside in Long Beach, chances are that you are planning to do a little bit of protesting this week. Activists have organized a planned city council demonstration to protest police harassment of lawfully biding medicinal cannabis users in this city.

The city banned dispensaries and collectives in 2009, and began raiding many without a warrant.

The main goal is to stop the harassment and illegal activity by the city, which picks and chooses dispensaries and collectives that it raids at will, yet issues permits and allows others to operate at its discretion.

All dispensaries in the state of California have been legally allowed per the passage of the 2003 law, SB420, which decriminalized medical marijuana statewide.

The most notable raid took place on May 10th, when 562 Collective, owned and operated by Katherine Aldridge, was illegally raided by police offers who did not have a search warrant. The officers arrested a few people for operating a collective without proper permits and demanded to gain access to Aldridge’s safe without a warrant, something that she refused to permit and the officers left, not arresting her, the owner, for some reason.

“They were trying to railroad me into opening my safe and I said if you don’t have a warrant, I'm not doing it," Aldridge told the press. “Give me a search warrant and I’ll open it; if you don’t get one, go get a blowtorch and do your thing.”

Another instance occurred when undercover police offers posed as medical marijuana patients and presented legitimate marijuana doctor recommendations to Joe Byron and Joe Grumbine, who owned a dispensary, and then who legally sold them medical marijuana.

Both have been charged with trafficking and sale of a Schedule 1 Drug, even though what they did was in par with state law. If convicted they could face up to seven years in prison.

Activists have gathered to protest these matters and many more related ones to city council this week in Long Beach.

NORML Says There Are More Than 1 Million California Medical Marijuana Cards

According to the nationwide marijuana activist organization, NORML, as of 2011 there are more than 1 million patients who hold valid California medical marijuana cards.

The leader in pioneering the medical marijuana movement, and the most proactive state in the union amongst the 15 others and DC that have decriminalized marijuana for medicinal usages, California, also tops the list for most active holders of a California medical marijuana cards, too. When you really break down the numbers, however, the spectrum of abuse is virtually nonexistent. Proponents of California medical marijuana cards would have you believe otherwise; that people are rampantly abusing this drug and that it should be illegal.

Pundits and the real numbers tell a different story, however.

According to a recent news report that was published in late May by the San Francisco Weekly, there are 1.1 million California medical marijuana cards that are active and that are currently being used by patients, according to NORML; a pro marijuana activist organization that has goal to see the drug legalized nationwide. To offer more perspective on this matter, the state has a staggering population of more than 37 million persons, and according to recent census data, this number reflects not even 3% of the population that holds California medical marijuana cards.

Some say that the numbers are not accurate, as all California medical marijuana cards information is kept strictly confidential and not recorded on any database so as to best protect a patient’s identity and freedom, and the same is true for doctors who recommend California medical marijuana cards to patients … it’s all very hush-hush. But at last estimates, the number has grown from 75,000 in 2003, when marijuana was first made legal to use as medicine in this state, and then from 350,000 in 2007 to nearly triple that amount of California medical marijuana cards in 2011.

Let’s also keep in mind that over the past several years more than 150 different ailments and medical conditions have been approved by state lawmakers and added as treatable conditions that would warrant the issuance of California medical marijuana cards. So it’s not all about people lying to get a card. Furthermore, marijuana doctors view it as medicine, the same as a painkiller, and they don’t hand out California medical marijuana cards recommendations like candy, either.

NORML Director, Dale Gieringer, issued a statement to the press recently, stating that, “The data shows that medical marijuana users are becoming an increasingly important constituency. It is time for the federal government to stop ignoring the facts and recognize their right to medicine.”

Medicinal marijuana in California and California medical marijuana cards brings in more than $4.5 billion in taxable revenue annually, a number that has steadily increased since 2003, and one that helps to pay for public services like a fire department, police department, new roads, trash, sewer and official salaries.

California medical marijuana cards are issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), which manages and regulates the medical marijuana program in this state.
