Welcome The CNOA To San Francisco
| By Americans for Safe Access | Published November 18, 2009 |
Help respond to the law enforcement effort to shut down safe access to medical marijuana. Please join the San Francisco Chapter of Americans for Safe Access to be part of the CNOA Welcoming Committee!
The California Narcotic Officers Association Conference is happening in San Francisco. Let's greet them and hand out goodie bags to make sure they have updates on medical cannabis policies.
Last month CNOA hosted an event titled "The Eradication of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County" in Montebello, California. Both the LA City Attorney & District Attorney spoke at the luncheon about how to shut down medical cannabis dispensaries in the LA area. One of the objectives of the CNOA is to "To educate the membership and the public on the dangers of narcotic and drug abuse" although their materials regarding marijuana remain conflicting. Their fact sheet on marijuana begins with the history of the herb, and acknowledges the medical use of marijuana and its derivatives in multiple countries for thousands of years. On their fact sheet about medical cannabis, they declare "Marijuana is NOT a Medicine". Despite the fact that they are a state association of state officers sworn to uphold California Law, they are not respecting medical cannabis patients, the Attorney General's guidelines, or the voters who passed Proposition 215 amending the California Constitution! This is our opportunity to reach out and educate them!
