Exploring A Santa Cruz Dispensary


By Annabelle Holman


While most outlets in the Bay area follow legal State guidelines, many still have issues. Some have been closed, while others have flourished. Whether a Santa Cruz dispensary or a patient, individuals operating outside guidelines, especially with regards to growing and distribution can often face a number of criminal charges. There are legal and illegal ways to obtain medical marijuana in California.

Santa Cruz is a popular destination for fun in the Sun. It is also a popular destination for California Medical Marijuana patients. Having been reported has having some of the most interesting dispensaries in the State. Patients visiting the city may want to be sure and visit the Santa Cruz boardwalk, the many coffee shops, ice cream parlors and restaurants on Pacific Street and the Santa Cruz diner while in town.

Patients, following local laws and guidelines are often okay. Others, who do not can often have difficulty if and when found in the possession of marijuana, medical or otherwise. It is also important that patients carry a California patient ID card at all times.

Two states, Colorado and Washington currently recognize the legal recreational use of cannabis. While this is the case, it still remains illegal under Federal guidelines. The same goes for medical marijuana in the states where it is recognized. Many supporters are hopeful that with the new rescheduling, the raids on dispensaries will cease.

If and when Colorado and Washington can prove the decrease in crime rates and added State budget surplus are the result of legalization, there are other states that will never follow suit. Some actually believe that only Federal interference and legalization on the Federal level is the only way many states will see the legalization of marijuana or gay marriage.

Tobacco may still be more prominent in public than marijuana, though this seems to be changing. E-cigs are responsible for some of the absence of tobacco smoke in recent years. Overall, there are still many more whom smoke tobacco rather than marijuana. As many States are now putting E-cigs in the same category as tobacco in relation to smoking laws, there will most likely also strict guidelines when it comes to recreational use in public venues.

Medical and recreational use is already at an all high time. Over 50% of United States citizens believe it should be legalized. While this is the case, even Colorado and Washington are setting strict guidelines with regards to driving under the influence and use in public forums. So, while legal, there are still issues in which an individual can get in trouble.

Whether traveling to, or through a State with medical or recreational use laws, it is important to review the law in its entirety before traveling through the area. Otherwise, while totally innocent of knowingly breaking the law, one could still be responsible for doing so.
