Public Cannabis consumption in Santa Cruz?

Ok on the lines of the oyster thread i created about Santa Cruz....

Say I was a patient who's card has just expired (so I would be renewing soon), and I happen to be in Santa Cruz - anyone from there know what the attitude of local law enforcement towards the public consumption of medication during daylight hours?

I've heard and read in the past that officials in SC are very progressive, though unfortunately none of my immediate friends in the area are knowledgeable in this area.

Whats the problem man? Just find a good spot......if you are on the beach there is so much wind you'll be set.......personally I think just go about your everday bus and do it how you want man........this is cali so take advantage.............its consumed in public all over..........SC you should be fine unless you run into some major ******* on a power trip. I wouldn't go right in front of the police station or anything though. California there is enough widespread knowledge to understand, we got bigger problems to worry about, people should be allowed to do what they want if it doesn't screw other people, and that the law was set under total farce.

i've been caught with about 1 oz of trees awhile drinking/bonfire at ocean beach in frisco.

police gathered us up, about 5 of us...police calls for back up, does back ground on us, gets searched, one guy gets cuffed for being a smart *** and in the end, they let us go but of course, they took all our weed and all pipes but 1 of them because a chick asked for it back cus it had sentimental values.

there is no way around a dick cop but most cops will let it slide...knocks on wood.

This reminds me of when I was at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I was waiting in line when the guy in front of me breaks out his pipe and starts blazing without a care in the world. It was a ballsy move, but I later found out he had a medical pot card. He was nice enough to offer those around him a hit. I didn't hit it and I didn't mind him "medicating" himself.

theres a measure passed about that sort of.

9.84.020 Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is:

(1) to make investigations, citations, arrests, property seizures, and prosecutions for adult marijuana offenses the lowest law enforcement priority for the city of Santa Cruz;

(2) to establish a city policy supporting changes in state and federal laws that support a system of taxation and regulation for adult use of marijuana; and

(3) to transmit notification of the enactment of this chapter to state and federal elected officials who represent the city of Santa Cruz.

yes! that's what I was looking for - I'm aware that in several places in California enforcement has been placed to "lowest priority"

Northern California cops shouldn't even care about weed unless they find someone with a **** load. 1oz or less should be "get atta here ya punks!"
