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.

Report from Tom Ammiano on his California Marijuana Regulation Bill - Feb 26, 2010
The following is an excerpt from California Assemblymember Tom Ammiano's legislative update on his progressive marijuana regulation bill:
AB 2254 – "Originally AB 390, I have reintroduced my landmark marijuana regulation bill (now AB 2254) to build on the momentum from the Assembly’s first formal consideration of marijuana legalization in American history in early January. The Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act (AB 2254) would create a regulatory structure similar to that used for beer, wine and liquor, permitting taxed sales to adults while barring sales to or possession by those under 21."
In related news, UC San Diego recently published the first results in the United States in 20 years from clinical trials of smoked cannabis and found that marijuana does in fact have therapeutic value.
The results of the study can be found here:

By the way .. just in case you may not know ... Tom Ammiano is a Progressive Democrat and he is a San Franciscan and he is delightfully, thoroughly, happily, proudly and openly gay.
