another liquor store
?in oakland in the late '90s, as in san francisco a few years earlier, federal raids served only to increase the number of cannabis clubs. if a club owner was jailed and his place shuttered, his former staffers often kept themselves employed by opening new clubs. soon,givenchy shoes, downtown oakland was being referred to as "oaksterdam," host to at least eight pot clubs and a ***ure of pot smoking. even some cafes and bars began to allow patrons to smoke on their premises.
jeff jones, a longtime medical-marijuana activist, opened a pot club right around the corner from oakland city hall -- with the full knowledge of those who worked in the building. he was one of those who, like peron, jumped out ahead of the pack without any legal protection from the state. he told me that he opened his shop in july 1996,givenchy sandal, five months before the election. city politicians, he says, had been generally supportive but were unsure of what to do next. in march of that year, the city council had set up a task force to study the medical-pot issue and passed a resolution endorsing jones' club. "'what do you want, another liquor store?'" jones said he'd ask cops and council members whenever they got squeamish.
local politicos were certain that prop 215 would fail and that he would then have to close his shop. indeed, some were actively lobbying against the legislation. sen. dianne feinstein, who as mayor of san francisco had opposed the movement,givenchy flats, said that the proposed law was "riddled with loopholes so big that it would have the effect of legalizing marijuana." |
