, you can cultivate 54 plants. with san francisco the guidelines, we are talking 216 plants. when we have 216 plants in a house, that creates some of the problems we are going to be discussing. the final type of nursery is a commercial nursery that is grown in a commercial building somewhere. we have had, according to the department of public health, three applications for commercial nurseries here in sentences go in recent times. with these nursery's, there is a number of people that have regulatory authority over these nursery'ies. there is the planning department, the fire department, and the san francisco police department. i will be meeting on tuesday of next week with many city agencies to discuss some of the things we are seeing in the cultivation of marijuana and what the future will hold for us. what we are seeing in san francisco with respect to cultivation -- there are two types of cultivation operations, operations taking place in residences and commercial operations. our concern is the safety of these

course they talked both about legal cultivation and illegal cultivation. commissioner dejesus: but the state one. >> he took it for years ago. i am sure by now the touch upon it. it is such a large issue in the state. i am sure they train the officers. >> that is why i wanted to have the presentation. i want to know what training we are having on dispensaries right now with our department. i am not finding that out. >> i assure you that all the new officers we just assigned to narcotics have gone through the 80 hour course. commissioner dejesus: i appreciate that. but we do not know if the program has any specific training for medical cannabis dispensaries and compassionate gardeners. that is what i am trying to find out. >> i would be surprised if it is not in that training. i can find out for you and let you know. commissioner dejesus: what i am looking for is does the department itself have any particular training for the statutory law in san francisco regarding sex jury, lowest priority, and the number of plants. do we have a training program regarding

truly we are clearing one neighborhood of cultivation, and it is not a neighborhood where large cultivation can exist, so we are not going after the profiteers. the second concern is that i believe any climse claims with medical canibus should not be under the jurisdiction of the narcotics unit one remaining problem that we have at the state level, when we look at the incident reports from sfpd is the number of hours of training that make narcotics officers experts. cona, the california narcotics officers association says there is still no specifics for canibus and it criminalizes all of you. it comes from the bush and reagan dug war that fails -- drug war that fills prisons without any solution. i believe they have failed the police academy. there is a pending investigation, if we are able to free -- i hope the district attorney will soon revise her board on medical canibus. of course code violation need to go to the planning department. these are fines and fractions, and fix it. this is not criminal activity. this is community-based medicine. we must create many levels of compliance, incl

collective equipment, agreement, and store this with a legal representative off site, and not to cultivate more than 25% of a family home. leave your emergency contacts with loved ones and compassionate neighbors that may witness a raid. and last but not least, educate your neighborhood groups, because if you don't, who will? thank you very much. [applause] >> we also have reverend randy webster. >> good evening, commissioners. i hope you can hear me. ok. i was at the san francisco patient's cooperative for over eight years, the compassionate organization. and i can speak on behalf of the fact that these collect yiffs are not just about safe access of medical canibus, these are community organizations that also look after other aspects of their patients' well being, not limbed to food and other issues of survival. other things you have to be concerned about is the distinction. you have to understand from the get-go, these gardens, which are put in there at heavy expense of patients and providers, and they are very different from your criminal element. we have to prevent the community medic

i want to stress there are many areas of cultivation which fit in the structure legally for how this should occur. i want to encourage you as this process goes forward to consider what some other juries dicks have already done. san francisco in 2005, when we led in this area, were leaders. san francisco and oakland were inventing the idea. the determine "dispensary" didn't exist. now there are many areas that have addressed dispension -- napa, and many other places. they have bifurcated between individual cultivation in homes, for example, in napa where it can't exceed 25% of the residential facility, and then they are defined differently anywhere, to cultivate on larger scales and regulating those uses and creating land use for them. i know it is a lot to bite off, and it was als a complicated topic. but thank you for initiating this conversation and encourage you to involve more people in it who are approaching this issue from a variety of ways, especially from the small patient collect yiffs to the dispensaries. we have 2 of them in "san francisco chronicle." thank you very much.
