Marijuana Seeds Are Spread at City Hall

Medical marijuana advocates spread pot seeds on the lawn of City Hall to protest a proposal to tighten restrictions on what have been called "Oaksterdam" cannabis clubs here.

Two dozen self-described medical marijuana patients, dressed in gardening attire, took part in the demonstration Sunday in Frank Ogawa Plaza.

City Council members will consider a proposal today to limit the number of marijuana dispensaries to four, ban pot from being consumed on the premises and reduce the number of plants a patient can grow for personal medicinal use from 72 to 18.
