MEASURE T changes the Measure JJ appointed Medical Marijuana Commission from a peer review board into a typical City Commission, appointed by the City council.
MEASURE T GIVES THE CITY COUNCIL UNLIMITED AUTHORITY ON ALL DECISIONS REGARDING BERKELEYS MARIJUANA INDUSTRY WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL!
MEASURE T is a power grab by the city council, and if it passes you will no longer get to vote on any matters concerning medical marijuana in Berkeley.
November 2nd , Vote NO on MEASURE T and ask friends who live in Berkeley to do the same.
Measure S adds a 2.5% increased tax on your medicine,TWICE! That’s 5% total. The medicine will be taxed when the dispensary receives it, and again when you buy it.
MEASURE S hurts patients, and will increase the price of your medicine.
MEASURE S is not the right way to raise money for Berkeley. The staff here at Patient’s Care Collective, has already taken a significant pay cut, effective immediately- because if MEASURE S passes, the tax will be owed starting back from July 1st 2010.
There will be no argument against Measure S featured on the ballot form. Berkeley City council declined to accept the opposing argument.

California does not usually tax medicine but medical marijuana has been taxed since 2008. An additional tax is counter-productive to what model Berkeley City Council say they want for dispensaries i.e. affordable. The staff here at PCC has already taken a significant pay cut to prepare for this tax hike. There will be no argument against Measure S on the ballot form, Berkeley City Council declined to accept the opposing argument.
