The Herald, 03 Jul 2012 – The Everett City Council voted today to extend a moratorium on medical marijuana gardens until January 20. The city needs more time to figure out how to effectively zone the gardens, assistant city attorney Ramsey Ramerman told the council before the vote. The city also hopes to have additional legal clarification on how to handle the conflicts between state and federal law, he said. He warned the council that allowing the gardens now could get city employees and the council in trouble with the federal government by making them "accomplices to federal drug crimes."
