The Daily Californian, 08 Oct 2010 – In less than a month, Berkeley voters will decide whether to pass two measures that together would represent an unprecedented expansion of the city’s medical marijuana industry, allowing the city to license and tax six cultivation facilities. If passed during the Nov. 2 elections, Measure T would license and tax six 30,000-square-foot growing facilities, allow a fourth dispensary to operate in the city and reconstitute the city’s Medical Cannabis Commission. Measure S would place a 2.5 percent tax on medical cannabis and – if voters pass California state Proposition 19, legalizing marijuana for recreational use in the state – 10 percent on nonmedical cannabis.
