SAN JOSE (KCBS/AP) — San Jose may weed out the number of medical marijuana clubs in the city from more than 100 to just 10 by auctioning licenses on eBay, Mayor Chuck Reed said.

Reed suggested the city council use the online auction site as an efficient way of determining how much to charge for dispensary licenses.

San Jose Mayor Proposes Auctioning Pot Club Licenses On eBay

“These permits, these franchises, whatever you call them, will have a market value. If you put it on eBay, we’ll find out what that is and raise some money for the city,” he said.

San Jose already imposes a 7 percent marijuana business tax, even without provisions that allow for dispensaries. Reed’s proposal on Wednesday took everyone at the city council rules committee meeting by surprise.


“The only thing I could do was laugh. I thought he was joking, but apparently he was serious,” said Dave Hodges, founder of the All American Cannabis Club.

Hodges said it would encourage the wrong people to apply for the licenses. Reed cautioned that anyone participating in the auction would still have to meet all the city’s permitting requirements.

The committee decided the idea was not fully cooked and voted to put it off until April 12. That meeting is expected to speed the development of pot club regulations that weren’t expected to be finished until this summer.

So the people with the most money to burn are the ones going to be running medical marijuana dispensaries? Wow. I don't know why this surprises me, the way the world works these days. I feel bad for the people who need quality medicine and can't grow their own. Got my fingers crossed in hopes this doesn't get passed.

wow politics is stranger than fiction ... great idea from the mayor

Yeah I'm getting really sick of this shit too. Not even about the growing but America. If you have money they want to set you up to make more. If you don't have money they'll find a spot for you in jail.

I'm getting tired of this version of capitalism. No shit iraq and afghanistan can't get it together. Look at the models of government we show them to emulate. Billion dollar "no bid" war contracts to private companies, massive levels of corporate fraud in the highest levels of government, lack of healthcare, abundance of prisons, ship our factory work overseas so we can pay slave labor, leave our own people out of work, etc.

America the great. The great train wreck.

Not suprised at all, this is how they keep control in the hands of the rich.. Imagine how much those 10 spots will go for. The rich will get richer and so on....

We should all bid with fake accounts to constantly mess up the auctions, this is how the people can speak..

I will bid on these if it happens...
