Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Kevin Reed and San Francisco's Pot Clubs
The on-going crusade on behalf of medical marijuana clubs being conducted by Kevin Reed shows no signs of slowing down. Today I received a letter from Reed and, although I do not generally print letters verbatum as they are received by me, I am making an exception in this case. Mr. Reed's letter was to-the-point and well crafted, so, here is the letter.
Received from Keven Reed, February 28, 2007:
I am writing you today to ask for your assistance. Tomorrow March 1, 2007 patients will experience a 1000% increase in the state voluntary medical cannabis identification card program. However, based on local regulations a mandatory state card is needed to enter a mcd in San Francisco.
Activists and patients have pressured our Board of Supervisors to take action. Supervisor Mirkarimi introduced a resolution to bring back the city card if this increase occurs to save patients hardship. However, it was sent to (and stalled) a neighborhood committee when Supervisor Ed Jew said he needed more information before he could take action.
Please inquire about why a City that is supposed to be leading the way in the medical cannabis movement is just standing back doing nothing as patients face this horrendous hardship.. I invite you to stop by the San Francisco General Hospital today at 12:00 pm to see the panic this has inspired for patients everywhere.
Shame on everyone NOT involved in stopping this situation from occurring, and then calling themselves supporters of the medical cannabis movement.
Thank you,
Kevin Reed, President, The Green Cross www.thegreencross.org
