CA Governor Brown Vetoes SB 847

ASA is happy to report that California Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed SB 847, a bill by Senator Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) that would have required medical cannabis cooperatives and collectives be located at least 600 feet from residential zones! The Governor’s veto comes after a groundswell of opposition from members of Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and other medical cannabis advocates. ASA thanks everyone who visited legislative offices, made phone calls, wrote letters, and sent emails. Well done!
