SJCBC LLC (San Jose Cannabis Buyers Collective)

Hello All,

Please join the SJCBC (San Jose Cannabis Buyers Collective), Pharmers Health Center Cooperative, and Union Local 13 in our protest to protect all medical cannabis in San Jose on both June 15^th (TODAY!, at the next city council meeting, from 1^PM to 7^PM) AND June 22^nd , the day they plan to pass this ordinance.

The San Jose “emergency ordinance” is now scheduled for June 22^nd. The City’s plan is to pass an “emergency ordinance” as the first step towards their goal of chasing all medical cannabis out of San Jose! In doing so, they are violating the civil rights of medical patients, invading their privacy, endangering the safety of patients, small business operators, the entire community, and even the city itself (through the legal consequences of their actions). The City Attorney’s office looks at this as a way to generate revenue for the city. The City plans to sue legally operating collectives, and they plan to force the collectives to pay for the cities legal fees.

The first protest rally will be TODAY, 6/15 start at 1pm. Our plan is to draw awareness to the issues, promote the rally on the 22^nd, and show our council members that we’re not playing around. The founder of the SJCBC (Dave Hodges) will be out there until at least 7^PM. We will have snacks and drinks across the street on 4th st.

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

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

• All collective members must be San Jose residents
• A patient can only join 1 collective!
• Collectives must be 1,000 feet away from any sensitive use
• No sales of anything! Collectives can only provide cannabis, no other products or services
• Only 10 collectives allowed, chosen using a lotto system
• Collective member info and records must be review-able by the city
• All medication must be produced on site

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!
• Medical patients have rights! Prop 215, SB420, and the AG Guidelines. Don’t violate our Civil Rights!!
• Neighbors for safe cannabis!
• Treat cannabis like any other business!
• Marijuana is Propaganda! Cannabis is Medication
• Medical Cannabis is here to stay in San Jose!
• 2 x 3ft signs are the best as you will be allowed to take them into council chambers with you.
• Poster/foam-board has good weight & stiffness, more expensive but much easier to hold and use
• Don’t forget to check your spelling!

Best Regards,
