Kid--Below is a link to a little bit older story that I think perfectly sums up the battle in my county. It stuck with me because it's so typical of here. Garden Grove is one of the more crime ridden, lower-income cities in Orange County, a place that doesn't have many of those. They fought giving some patient back his dimebag, citing it's against federal law, to the tune of $220,000. That city doesn't have that kind of money to blow, especially lately. There's a funny note in the story about the lone dispensary that operates WITH a city license that has BANNED dispensaries. It's a total legal clusterfuck.
Garden Grove is not doing well financially, but they're willing to spend all that on a court case just so as not to give a guy back his bag. Why would they ever actually vote to have an outlet if they're willing to go that far for one guy's bag? In the meantime, that dispensary is still operating last time I heard. I have no idea why they don't try to shut them down after banning them, but I don't exactly want to encourage the DEA reopen its war on dispensaries in CA while they figure out which ones are actually for patients and which are pot stores. I'm not thrilled that all of the dispensaries in my county operate illegally since no city will allow them, but at least they're hanging in there for now. 19 won't help them, but I can see how it might hurt them.

And true about the momentum... for a different bill. Really, maybe it's different in your state, but "follow up" props seldom pass here.
