Dear City Council Members and County Supervisors: Thank you for addressing the implementation of the Compassionate Use Act and the provision of safe and legal access to medical marijuana, an important community issue. Like you, officials in many municipalities and counties throughout California are currently creating and adopting sensible regulations of medical marijuana dispensary collectives and cooperatives. In Alameda County, we take pride in breaking new ground in this area of medical marijuana. The City of Oakland was the first municipality in the state to adopt regulations and Alameda County is currently considering an ordinance to regulate medical marijuana in the unincorporated area. Four other municipalities, Berkeley, Hayward, Fremont and San Leandro have either incorporated an ordinance or are considering one. The needs of the entire community should be taken into account when drafting ordinances regulating medical marijuana dispensation. It is important to consider all of the stakeholders: the general public, neighbors, local businesses, law enforcement, and especially the patients themselves. When designing regulations, it is crucial to remember that at its core this is a healthcare issue, requiring the involvement and leadership of local departments of public health. A proactive healthcare-based approach can effectively address problems before they arise, and communities can design methods for safe, legal access to medical marijuana while keeping the patients' needs foremost. I welcome this opportunity to improve health care for California patients, and I encourage municipalities and counties around the state likewise to pioneer this effort, with the goal of implementing policies that provide safe and affordable access to medical marijuana. I look forward to aiding in this process in any way that may be helpful. My office is open for consultation. Sincerely,
f(~~ Nate Miley Supervisor, Fourth District
