Can A 'Cannabis Equity' Program Work In San Diego?
San Diego is considering a new program focused on helping communities most impacted by the War on Drugs share in the profits of legalized cannabis. A similar program in Los Angeles has faced criticism.
The Cannabis Guide to San Diego
The oldest city in the California state, San Diego is widely known as “America’s Finest City” because of its amazing weather, beautiful sandy beaches, friendly people and a lot of other things!
San Diego is famous for another reason – it’s one of the most progressive cannabis cities in California. While marijuana is still classified as a schedule I substance under the federal law, you can use marijuana legally in San Diego for both medicinal or recreational purposes.
As per Proposition 64 passed by 56% of votes in favor on November 8, 2016, recreational marijuana has been legal in the whole of California since January 1st, 2018. Under legalization, weed sales in California are estimated to reach $7 billion a year in revenue by 2021, along with $1 billion taxes per year.
In September 2017, the San Diego City Council voted 6 to 3 to go all-in with it. They legalized marijuana cultivation, distribution, and retail sales making San Diego the center of a new “Green Rush” - a billion-dollar worth industry.
According to San Diego’s new cannabis law,
- You can purchase or carry up to 1 ounce (28.5 grams) of weed, or eight grams of concentrate such as hash, tincture, oil, etc. if you’re 21 years or older.
- You can grow up to six plants for personal use in a private property. You can’t sell without a license.
- You cannot smoke cannabis within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center, or youth center while people are present. For using cannabis publicly, you may encounter $100 -$250 fine.
- You can drive with cannabis if you keep it in a closed container or in your car’s trunk. The police may otherwise allege you for having an “Open Container”
- You are subject to DUI laws if you are found driving under the influence of cannabis.
- You can’t consume or possess cannabis on federal properties such as national parks or historical places even if it is in San Diego.
- Non-medical cannabis businesses are required to pay a 5% tax on monthly gross receipts which is scheduled to rise to 8% from July 1, 2019, unless the city council declares something else.
- Though it is legal under California state law, employers can prohibit the use of cannabis by their employees or can deny employment to a marijuana user. A medical cannabis card holder could be an exemption to this in certain cases.
If you love cannabis, then San Diego might just be the perfect city for you. Many cannabis enterprises are budding out here and the West Coast Cannabis Tours take you behind the scenes.
And all you need is a medical marijuana card in San Diego to buy the herb legally.
A glut of medical marijuana dispensaries in San Diego has appeared all over the city with the end of prohibition on the herb.
But remember, only stores with both state licenses and local permits can sell cannabis to customers. So, you better purchase from CUP licensed marijuana outlets to avoid any subtle legal issue.

In The Prohibition Tunnels
The story is these are. The remnants of Prohibition Tunnels in San Diego.The tunnels have been heavily Grafittied but still have signs of lifting gear and multiple hidden entrances. We decided a quick 10 minute EVPS Session was in order and though it was daytime it was dark enough in the tunnels, where daylight is only a relative term.

General William Billy Mitchell Farewell Barbecue Party Feb 1925 Prohibition Era Silent Footage

The party gets going after the sun goes down as the beer begins to flow courtesy of Major Henry H. Hap Arnold; future General of the Army, and later General of the Air Force.

A Brief History of San Diego Wine
San Diego has a rich history. However, know one ever thinks of San Diego as being a region where wine was ever of any importance. Back in the day, San Diego had a thriving wine industry. Prohibition and a lousy law not allowing wineries to sell wines in bulk after prohibition put an end to that industry. Today San Diego is coming back.
How California Will Legalize Pot in 2016: Learning The Lessons of Prop 19
The pitch is that prohibition has only created crime, violence, and the destruction of families. It's time to end prohibition, says Jim Gonzales, a political strategist for the Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform.
California set the stage for marijuana legalization in America as the first state to legalize the drug for medical use with the passage of Prop 215 in 1996. But after the Golden State failed to legalize commercial marijuana sales in 2010 when Prop 19 lost by seven points, several states and the District of Columbia leapfrogged California and showed the nation what a recreational pot market would look like.
But now, California is back in the game, with legalization almost certain to be on the 2016 ballot. Reason TV travelled to Oaksterdam University, the nation’s premier cannabis cultivation school, where many of the political activists pushing an upcoming ballot initiative held a meeting to finalize language and debate some of the finer points of legalization.
The group calls itself ReformCA and is chaired by Oaksterdam’s President Dale Sky-Jones. We spoke to Sky-Jones and several other activists about lessons learned from Prop 19, what other states can teach California, and what legalization in the largest state in the union would mean for the rest of the country.

101 Coast Highway Cardiff by the Sea | Old Coast Highway California
Come take a look at one of the scenic stetches of the 101 Coast Highway where it enters Cardiff by the Sea in Encinitas. Historic Highway 101
Take a nostalgic trip along scenic Highway 101. The history of the road really began shortly after the turn of the twentieth century in Oceanside and North San Diego County, when wagons and primitive autos competed for space on its narrow, bumpy, unpredictable dirt surface.
San Diego County, the State, and the City of Oceanside all financed the concrete and macadam road through north San Diego commencing in 1909 and terminating in 1918 with the pavement of the thoroughfare through Oceanside. Fifteen feet wide and four inches thick without shoulders and subgrades, this improved road did not last too long.
However the road was good enough to lure settlers from the nations hinterlands to the Golden State via Route 66 and other roads. And, locals took to the highway in droves, thanks to the more affordable and vastly improved automobile after 1918.
The coast road provided great entertainment. The famous, notable, and unique traversed its ribbon of concrete, including Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt and the Hollywood crowd. Even before the highway had been paved, speed freaks and their mechanicians raced up and down the thoroughfare attempting to break records. The Los Angeles to Phoenix automobile race ran south through San Diego County via the coast road, then east to Arizona, in 1911. The San Diego Motorcycle Club organized an endurance run to Corona up the inland route with the return down the coast in 1913. That same year, the Los Angeles to Phoenix road race roared through Oceanside and featured Barney Oldfield and Bad Bill Carlson driving Simplex autos. Both favorites lost that year to San Diegan, Olin Davis.
By 1922, the first of many repairs and improvements to the coast road began. In 1925, the route became officially designated U.S. Highway 101. Thanks to the untiring efforts of the American Club of Southern California, founded in 1900, the roads through this region were well marked. Lots of people, besides residents and visitors stood to gain from the development of the scenic Highway 101, which ultimately stretched from Canada to the Mexican border. The Road and automobile, through their symbiotic relationship, stimulated the rise of a totally new phenomenon, the car culture, which was epitomized in sunny Southern California. Garages, automobile dealers, gas stations, auto laundries, auto camps, hotels, motels, and cafes sprang up along the route celebrating and exalting the fusion of concrete and steel.
The coast road contributed mightily, because of its position, to national, regional and local historical events. It led visitors to the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. Special days were set aside for caravans traveling to this event, as well as days at the fair which just honored the automobile itself. It also provided the setting for a number of parades and local celebrations.
Highway 101 caught a lot of action during Prohibition (1919-1933) because it conveyed, in an expeditious fashion, Hollywood stars and common folk alike to Tijuana where booze flowed freely, horses raced continuously, and one could gamble and dance the night away. The Great Depression affected the road to the effect that individuals traveled it less often and growth of the auto -related business slowed down.
