After Shock Media

This is the City versus clubs.

Red Bluff had issues since the first opened up. The sheriff started fining them for lack of a business permit from day one. Since the city was refusing to give out such permits. I.E. If you had a club, you couldnt get a business permit, no business permit then he would fine you.

After that and some clubs staying open despite the fines. The city held an emergency council meeting yesterday. Even though the councilmen were not paying attention, some caught sleeping (same one charged with a small assault charge against a club owner that night). Well they all voted on two things. First was an emergency measure allowing the sheriff to hand out fines to not only clubs/co-op's/collectives/dispensaries at 100 then 500 per fine, but to also give them to landlords and building owners. This also applied to home grows for people supplying their own.
The second measure they voted in was a TOTAL ban on clubs, co-op's, collectives, dispensaries, and home grows that will go into effect in 42 days now. There was like a 13 day period, and then a 30 day period to make it official on the second one.

Yes you read above right. A club owner who was upset with a councilmen caught sleeping when it was their turn to speak, was harshly poked in the chest numerous times by that very councilman. The club owner placed him under citizens arrest and pressed charges, which were misdemeanor assault charges.

Something to keep in mind. Interstate 5 runs smack through Red Bluff and then Redding. With Red Bluff's ban, technically driving through that area with medical marijuana would be a "hot" area. Also could be seen as interfering with state commerce on the other side since up north is a very large producing area.

I been trying to keep people up to date as this is not getting much coverage.
