If you were caught with it at Ruby you def still would be kicked out.
Because the city is lax on it, it's still illegal by state and federal law. And with laws like the RAVE act, which is federal, them letting you in the club knowing you have it on you could cause a lot of trouble for them. |

hmm, well i've never smoked it inside a club up there but i have defenitely smoked it just walking down the street with a load of people around and nobody even looked at me funny. even down here in LA, i think it's pretty chill. unless you're blowing it in someones face, nobody really gives a . it's not like it's heroin or something :toothless
i say legalize it and just tax it like cigs and booze |

| the long term effects will be interesting. We will see in a few years if in fact harder drug use increases. If not, it will be a lot of ammunition for these types of legislation in other cities. |

(11-14) 15:40 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- The Board of Supervisors voted today to outlaw the use of Styrofoam and other polystyrene products by city restaurants and to effectively decriminalize the use, sale and cultivation of marijuana by adults.
The food container legislation, introduced by Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin and approved unanimously on the first of two votes needed for passage, would apply to about 3,400 restaurants in San Francisco as well city facility food service providers and food vendor companies contracting with the city. It is scheduled to be implemented June 1, 2007.
Polystyrene containers are blamed for filling up landfills and breaking down into smaller nonbiodegradable pieces that harm marine and other wildlife when they are ingested.
In passing the ordinance, San Francisco joins number of other cities around the country, including Oakland, Portland, Ore., and Berkeley, which banned Styrofoam and similar products nearly 20 years ago.
The marijuana legislation, which passed on an initial vote 8-3, would set nearly all crimes involving marijuana as the lowest law enforcement priority for city police and urges the district attorney to adopt the same policy when prosecuting criminal defendants.
It passed with the blessing of the police officials, but over the complaints of some residents who say the marijuana trade attracts or occurs along with other criminal activity that undermines the quality of life in their neighborhoods. Ammiano introduced the legislation in August at the behest of groups pushing for the national decriminalization of marijuana.

it's a done deal
notice the language: "to effectively decriminalize the use, sale and cultivation of marijuana by adults." |

the top 2 gateway drugs are cigarettes and alcohol. marijuana, a naturally occurring and unprocessed plant, comes second to both. there should be no reason why alcohol and cigarettes are completely legal for adult use, and marijuana, which differs by being the only one with a medical purpose, is not. alcohol is a neurotoxin and a liver toxin, cigarettes contain over 4000 poisons, 50 caricinogens, 3 radioactive compounds and the most addictive substance in the world: nicotine. marijuana is the only of the 3 that has never killed anyone, has no physical addiction/withdrawal and is impossible to overdose on. case closed. |
