As most of California is making it easier to get marijuana, the cities of Los Angeles's South Bay are moving fast to shut down even legal weed sales and use. In anticipation of state legislators' plans to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes, several South Bay cities—which seem to be in deep opposition to weed in all its forms—are mounting an offensive of "sweeping bans on every kind of marijuana dispensary and delivery service, cultivation and manufacturing process," reports the Daily Breeze.

Forget blazing – it’s brewing that looks to be all the rage amongst stoners in 2016.

Now that 24 states have legalised medical marijuana, green-fingered weed lovers in the US have become uncharacteristically productive and invented a line of coffee products that could make your morning commute a whole lot more relaxing.

California-based Ganja Grindz has become the first company to sell marijuana-infused coffee beans, filters, pods and tea bags to multiple states in the US, and promise to help you “brew your buzz” by using the most potent cannabis oil available.

As snow began to fall outside, Deb Button snuggled up on her couch, fired up a joint and spoke of the nature of Christ.

"Even if Jesus didn't smoke weed, he'd still be a stoner," she said, exhaling a white cloud.

Her kitten sniffed the air curiously.

"Jesus was peaceful and loving. He went from house to house and was always accepted," she explained. "Only a stoner could do that."

I want to encourage the Napa County Board of Supervisors to reconsider their ordinance banning medical marijuana.

This ordinance is draconian and unacceptable. If this ordinance passes as is, I will referendum it. I want to remind you, I lead a successful referendum in Vallejo last year.

I encourage you to replace it with an ordinance modeled after Marin County.

Look at the upcoming ballot measures. How many tax increases are coming up on the ballot? Who wants to see their property taxes or sales tax go up again? Not me. Quit kicking the can down the road. It's time we embrace this tremendous revenue source. Don’t miss this opportunity to tax and regulate medical marijuana.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday is expected to consider banning the establishment of medical marijuana activities in the county’s unincorporated areas until it studies the impacts of the business.

Citing an uptick in interest from these potential businesses, Supervisor Michael Antonovich will ask his colleagues to consider an interim urgency ban that would last at least 45 days and request a study on the impacts.

Last fall, the governor signed three bills into law collectively known as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, which regulates licensing and enforcement of medical marijuana businesses statewide.

The Simi Valley City Council has reversed course and now will join most other cities in Ventura County in banning personal cultivation of medical marijuana.

The council introduced an ordinance Jan. 11 that called for allowing personal cultivation by qualified patients.

Under California Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 that was approved by 56 percent of statewide voters, cities cannot prohibit residents from using medical marijuana if they have a serious health condition and a physician's recommendation.

But the courts have ruled that cities can ban personal cultivation, even though it is permitted under the state health and safety code.

The council voted at its meeting Monday to amend the ordinance to prohibit personal cultivation.

For years, these nuns have been attempting to make the cannabis market ‘a healing industry instead of a stoner industry’, and who can blame them?

The Sisters of the Valley have been fighting back against the Merced city bosses in California, to continue running their modest garage weed farm and make marijuana products to sell on their Etsy store.

Officials recently decided to ban medicinal weed and it’s not gone down well with these Sisters. Since the ruling last week, they’ve started a petition to protect weed rights in California’s central valley, and their thriving business of course.

The California legislature scrambled this week to correct a serious error that had been written into the state’s new medical marijuana regulations.

The State Assembly passed AB 21, a bill that fixes what may have been a fatal problem with the language of last year’s Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, by a unanimous vote of 65-0 on Thursday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The bill had cleared the state Senate on Monday, and now awaits Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature.
