San Jose rejects pot club ban
San Jose rejects pot club ban

The San Jose City Manager's Office wants to take a hard line on medical marijuana, arguing that the City Council should ban all 100 or so cannabis clubs in town and start from scratch with new regulations.

However, on Monday, council members said: "Not so fast." In an 8-2 vote, they put off for another day the burning questions of bans, caps on the number of cannabis clubs and even their basic legality.

Instead, the council adopted a new 7 percent tax on dispensaries, as city voters approved last month.

Council members Pete Constant and Rose Herrera were the sole votes against the motion, saying the legality and regulation of the pot clubs needed to be resolved before taxation. Councilman Kansen Chu was not present.

"We need the money, pure and simple," Mayor Chuck Reed said in support of the vote. He later added that he, too, was concerned that current city regulations seem to hold that all pot sales are illegal.

Here is an idea:
Go out to a garage, close the doors.
Smoke pot or cigs for 2 hours in there.

Walk out. Then have someone go into the same garage, park their car in there, and let it run for 2 hours while they stand in same garage.

What would the results be? Which pollutant is worse and is more harmful in a second hand way?
