“A small southwest Missouri village has passed an ordinance to allow the use of medical marijuana. Mayor Joe Blundell said Cliff Village, with a population of about four dozen, wanted to show grass-roots support for Missouri to legalize medical marijuana as 13 other states have. … Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland, whose deputies patrol Cliff Village, said he will continue to follow state law that says it’s illegal to possess or grow or distribute marijuana.” [editor’s note: Sounds like Cliff Village needs to pass another ordinance banning any representative from entering the village limits in an official capacity and providing for enforcement in .40 caliber form - TLK]
