[act-ma] 1/22 Cambridge Planning Board HEARING on "Medical Marijuana Treatment Center" ZONING for Cambridge; 7 p.m. (Tues)

[James in Cambridge]

Have we seen enough zoning giveways to Big Drug Companies
and real estate corporations in Central and Kendall Squares, and in Cambridge??
(They're all gonna' "cure cancer," right???) 
How about treating those currently suffering from cancer, and from cancer "treatments"???
 
(Why will it have to take "nine months" to sort this out?)
 
You shouln't need a permit to grow a small amount of marijuana for medical use in your backyard.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Planning Board of the City of Cambridge will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, January 22,
2013 at 7:20 p.m. in the Second Floor Meeting Room at City Hall Annex, 344 Broadway,
Cambridge, Massachusetts on a zoning petition by the City Council to amend the Zoning
Ordinance by creating a new Section 11.700 – Interim Regulations for Medical Marijuana
Uses, which would effect the following changes:
 Define “Medical Marijuana Treatment Center” consistent with its definition according to
the Massachusetts Law for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana, approved in
November, 2012 by a statewide initiative petition.
 Explicitly disallow any uses involving the acquisition, cultivation, possession,
processing, transference, transportation, sale, distribution, dispensing, or administration
of marijuana, products containing or derived from marijuana, or related supplies or
educational materials where such activity is not conducted within a properly licensed and
registered Medical Marijuana Treatment Center.
 Create an interim restriction on the establishment of Medical Marijuana Treatment
Centers in any zoning district for a period of nine (9) months starting January 1, 2013, or
until such time that the City Council enacts superseding regulations, so that the City may
study their potential impacts on adjacent uses and on general public health, safety and
welfare, and may develop zoning and other applicable regulations that appropriately
address these considerations consistent with statewide regulations and permitting
procedures.
Copies of this petition are on file in the Office of the City Clerk, City Hall, Cambridge,
Massachusetts and at the Community Development Department, 344 Broadway, and online at
