Upland Marijuana Project?
A man named Osvaldo Diaz voiced his concerns to the Mayor and City Council during last night's city council meeting. He was prepared with visual aids - a marijuana plant in an ICEE cup.
Diaz explained to the council that he had no choice but to grow the marijuana for medicinal purposes because he could not get the help he needed through various state agencies.
He introduced the Upland Marijuana Project - the UMP and said if we adopted the ways of Amsterdam it would take away the "forbidden fruit" factor and there would not be a fear of the DEA or "over zealous law enforcement."
Diaz ended his speech with a quote from a song written by musician Tom Petty.
Captain Jeff Mendenhall of the Upland Police Department had a front row seat and walked Diaz out of the building.
Mendenhall said Diaz claimed to have a medical marijuana card and the police department would look into the validity of the card.
Today Srgt. Cliff Mathews of the Upland Police Department said "it was legal and for medicinal purposes."
