Support of a Medical Marijuana Collective in the City of Malibu

To:  City of Malibu / Malibu City Council

Given that medical cannabis law is still being developed, it is reasonable for civic leaders to have concerns about medical cannabis programs. It is crucial that policymakers and other stakeholders be reminded that medical cannabis is legal under state law and municipalities are required to determine what is best for the health and wellbeing of its residents.

Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes. To advance the will of the California voters, the Legislature enacted SB 420, which established cooperatives and collectives as the recognized forms of medical marijuana cultivation and distribution to those who are too sick or otherwise unable to cultivate it for themselves.

Medical cannabis dispensaries provide support and healing for patients. Dispensing collectives have positive psychosocial health benefits for chronically ill people who are otherwise isolated. The type of support and services offered by many dispensaries improves the quality of life, and, in some cases may even prolong life.

I am a Malibu resident who supports California patients' rights to legal safe access of medical marijuana in the city of Malibu.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
