SJCBC LLC (San Jose Cannabis Buyers Collective)

Hello Medical Cannabis Community,
 

The San Jose “emergency ordinance” is now scheduled for June 22nd ..The plan is to pass this “emergency ordinance” as step 1 towards the goal of “suing everyone out of existence”. They look at this as a way to MAKE money for the city. The City Attorneys office is banking on the concept of, when you lose the case against them, you will be forced to pay ALL their legal costs
 

Please join the SJCBC, Pharmers, and Union Local 13 in our protest to protect all medical cannabis in San Jose on both June 15th (the next city council meeting) AND June 22nd, the day they plan to pass this ordnance.
 

The first protest rally will be 6/15 and start at 1pm. We will be out there until at least 7pm. We will have snacks and drinks across the street on 4th st. (last time they told us we can’t pass out munchies at city hall)
 

The second protest will on the 22nd from 12pm to 2pm, leading into the city council meeting
 

Please bring signs and banners.
 

Tips for signs:

• 2 x 3ft signs are the best as you will be allowed to take them into council chambers with you.
• Poster-board has good weight & stiffness, more expensive but much easier to hold and use
• Check your spelling! (we don’t want to look like the Tea Party)

 
Suggestions for signs:

• Don’t take away our privacy, MEDICAL cannabis patients have rights too!
• 10 collectives is not enough! No caps on medical cannabis!
• Fair regulations for medical cannabis!
• Don’t chase sick patients out of town!
• Moms for safe cannabis!
• Christians for safe cannabis!
• Parents for safe cannabis!
• Neighbors for safe cannabis!
• Treat cannabis like any other business!
• Medical Cannabis is here to stay in San Jose!

 
We will be hosting a make your own sign workshop, Monday, 6/14 & 6/21, 11am-7pm at the SJCBC (1082 Stockton Ave, SJ). Come by & we will provide markers, paper, and color printers (max paper size 8.5×14) to help people signs.
 

For those who are not aware, the regulations that concern us the most, and emphasize our point:

• All members must be San Jose residents..
• A member can only join 1 collective!
• It must be 1,000 feet away from any sensitive use
• No sales of anything!
• Collectives can only provide cannabis, no other products or services
• Heavy Industrial not allowed…
• Only allow 10 co-ops, chosen using a lotto system
• Member info must be review-able by the city
• Everything must be a “closed loop”
• All medication must be produced on site

 
Please help spread the word. Don’t let San Jose chase us out of town!
 

Best Regards,
Dave Hodges
