Filing suit against the City of Dana Point, the City Council of the City of Dana Point and San Diego Gas & Electric, Beach Cities Collective and its owenr David Lambert is seeking $20,000,000 in damages for conspiracy, defamation and related claims. In its suit, Beach City Collective alleges that the city staff and council members “conspired in an extra-judicial crusade to prevent Beach Cities from legally supplying medical marijuana to their member patients.” The filing of the lawsuit is yet another battle in a war waged with by the City of Dana Point for the past two years as the City has attempted to confirm the legality of the operation of the dispensaries.
“”We have simply been trying to make sure that these dispensaries have been operating legally,” remarked a high ranking City official. “We just want to make sure that they are checking prescriptions and that the amount that they are dispensing is consistent with those prescriptions. We are not doing anything differently than making sure that a pharmacy is operating legally.” According to this City official, none of the dispensaries were willing to confirm that they were not selling marijuana without a prescription. “We were not trying to stop those with prescriptions from filling them, simply making sure that the marijuana was being dispensed with a prescription.”
In addtion to Beach Cities, the City shut down three collectives in January, claiming that they had building code violations. As reported in the Orange County Register, Beach Cities lawyer Jeffrey Schwartz said “This situation in Dana Point has transcended anything I’ve seen in medical marijuana law throughout the state.” As a part of the City closures of the dispensaries, Orange County Superior Court Judge William Monroe ordered Beach Cities to pay about $2,400,000 in civil damages in a judgment issued this March. That was the maximum civil penalty allowed for violations of health and safety codes as well as business and professions codes. Beach Cities has appealed that decision.
Tell the little old ladies with glaucoma who need their medicinal pot to stop crashing into garages – stop leaving their pot trash all over the street in front of my house – and to get rid of their creepy pothead friends hanging out in the neighborhood.
thanks ……
“”We have simply been trying to make sure that these dispensaries have been operating legally,” remarked a high ranking City official.”
Sure they have. It’s nothing to do with the usual incestual relationship with city council members, DA’s, and the local gendarmes all looking for funding and looking all family oriented for the local idiocracy. Couldn’t be that.
Actually, I will be willing to be that many of these D.A.s and councilmembers toke on the “down low.”
Besides, I know that before he became OC DA, T-Rack was a big time toker. Actually, he most likely still tokes on the “down low.” Kind of akin to the legislators who are closeted gay men who vote against civil rights legislation for the LGBT community. Only difference is smoking weed is a choice.
That makes sense T-Rack as a stoner. That’s what must allow him to overlook so much governmental and political corruption with such equanimity and that serene sphinx-like face.
“What was the accusation again? Damn, I forgot… Okay, never mind boys, nothing to see here…Hey don’t bogart that joint Susie…”
Actually a simple toke would help him immensly with his focus problem. Cannabis does amazing wonders for people with ADHD and focus issues despite what you have been told from the so-called “advocates” for children.
The use of marijuana contributing to people’s laziness has been debunked years ago along with the “gateway drug” theory. T-Rack was already lazy with or without the pipe.
Well, then, I stand corrected!
I do think T-Rack could stand to eat something. He’s been looking rather gaunt and anemic lately. More evidence that he should toke up and develop an appetite.
Funny, in 1995 Santa Ana Police Chief Paul Walters was stooped from freebasing cocaine for his cops, allegedly to purify it so it wouldn’t harm children if accidentally ingested in his sting operations.
So according to Walters pure cocaine is harmless.
I wonder how much is distributed to his dates?
Junior. I will do that as long as you tell your binge drinking friends to quit throwing their beer cans and whiskey bottles on my front lawn. It clashes with the various shades of beige in MasterPlannedistan.
It is a funny thing GF … I have lived for 35 years in the same house. I have lived amongst hordes of alcohol imbibers for all of that time.
In 35 years I can count on one hand the number of times that I have found booze trash on our street. In the last 3 months I need both hands to count the pot trash left on my street.
And there was never any creepy alchey people hanging around the neighborhood as there are creepy potheads now.
Funny thing .. huh ..?
So this justifies financing billions of dollars to the War on Drugs and locking people up for using marijuana? How “fiscally conservative” of you! Fine them for littering, yes. But to close up medical marijuana dispensaries because they contribute to a littering problem? That makes as much sense as shutting down bars or nightclubs because some drunkard who imbibed way too much was involved in a DUI.
“Creepy” potheads? I’ve found more drunken creeps than stoner creeps. In fact, the stoners that I know are pretty mellow and leave people alone unlike the dunken sots who act belligerant, hostile and cause fights. Go into any bar or nightclub in Orange County and I can guarantee you that if you were to ask any single woman
who creeps them out more, they would most likely tell you that it is the person who is stinking drunk.
But what’s the use of me telling this to you? You’ll sit there on this blog popping your collar and thumping your chest about “limited government” and “free markets” while favoring policies that intrude into the private lives and personal behaviors of consenting adults. Which is why it’s so much fun exposing Republicans who masquarade as libertarians.
Funny thing…huh?
Your experience is certainly unique and eccentric, junior. I see alcohol trash all over the place nearly any neighborhood people party – bottles, cans, etc. And conversely, I’m not even sure what you mean by “pot trash.”
Is there a dispensary in your neighborhood now? I hadn’t heard of it.
If there is, let me know. I’m in the market to join a new collective.
That would be Santa Ana … without giving too much away although I think most people know who Junior is … this dispensary must be somewhere within a couple miles of the transportation station. Convenient!
Stick with peyote comrade GF.
The peyote is reserved for our “communion” rituals per the orders of the high chief. Us people in the lower rung of the food chain will have to be content with cannabis for now.
I’m sure you’ll make a reference to the Soviet Union in your response.
I’m sure you’ll make a reference to the Soviet Union in your response……. Hmmmm
Don’t have to.
Without the Soviet Union communism there wouldn’t be the United States communism and Obama’s peyote communion rituals.

$45 caps for 1/8 oz.? Sounds like an excuse for a day trip to junior’s neck of the woods! Hell, I’ll even clean up the “pot trash” on your lawn before my “creepy” stoner friends and I leave your neighborhood. As you know from my previous blog post on Tea Party and the Wisconsin rallies, I’m all down with Woodsy Owl. I give a hoot and I don’t pollute. Unless the “pot trash” that you were talking about actually belongs to….well you know they say that possession is 9/10ths of the law.
What’s Duane Roberts’ schedule like these days? Since he’s not running for Senate, maybe he’s down for a trip to the dispensary.
