Norman de Vall's medical marijuana forum, with guests Pebbles Trippet and John McCowen, is available to download or listen to online.  The 90 minute show has been broken up into three approximately 30 minute segments:

The topic of the show was planned as dealing with both the existing 25 plants per parcel Public Nuisance Ordinance, MCC 9.31, in effect since February 2008 and it's bloated 37 pages of proposed revisions, being championed by Supervisor McCowen, but as yet not voted on by the Board of Supervisors.  Inevitably, it was often not clear whether the current ordinance or the proposed revisions were being discussed.

It was also a sure thing that the discussion would wander back and forth between that discussion and today's momentous decision at the CA State Supreme Court in the landmark Kelly case, and of course it did though it was not confusing when that took place.

The general tone of the show was less adversarial than has often been the case in the recent past. Phone in guests included Sheriff Allman, Attorneys Omar Figueroa and Katharine Elliot and many others.  You won't get ironclad answers on everything, since many of the issues will be decided in the seven patient plaintiff's legal challenge of the county's MCC 9.31, to be heard in Superior Court next month.  Stay tuned.
