In 2016, there was much celebration as California

In 2016, there was much celebration as California voters approved Proposition 64, legalizing recreational marijuana. But now, advocates say the cannabis industry has fallen on hard times and in his budget presentation on Monday, Governor Gavin Newsom pledged his support to try to save it.

When Prop 64 legalized cannabis, it signaled acceptance of the industry and promised a boon to state and local tax bases and the end of the illegal market. But it hasn’t actually worked out that way. Most local governments have been reluctant to approve retail sales outlets and now, producers say taxes are eating them alive. So Newsom’s budget comments came as a welcome surprise.

“It is my goal to look at tax policy to stabilize the market,” he said. “And at the same time, it is also my goal to get these municipalities to wake up to the opportunities to get rid of the illegal market, the illicit market, and provide support in a regulatory framework for the legal market.”

Currently, cannabis is taxed at $162 per pound cultivated. That was OK when it sold for about $1,200, but the price has now dropped to as low as $300 dollar per pound, while the tax remains fixed.

“You’re looking at 50 percent of the cost of a pound of cannabis–an additional 50 percent of that is a tax!” said Amber Senter, a cannabis entrepreneur producing products in Oakland. She said she likes being able to sell out in the open, in the legal market, but understands why many are still choosing to operate outside the law.

Many feel the regulated market is on the verge of collapse, especially for the original small cannabis producers who fought so hard for legalization.

A group of cannabis advocates and small farmers plan to demonstrate Thursday at the state Capitol, urging the legislature to amend the regulations to keep the legal market alive. But Coleman admitted that won’t be easy.

Because the regulations were created by the initiative process, they can only be changed by another vote of the people or a 2/3 vote of the legislature. That’s why, despite Newsom’s encouraging words, there is a growing sense of desperation among those in the business.

Global supply issues, winter weather impacting del

Global supply issues, winter weather impacting delivery trucks on the East Coast and record high COVID-19 infections have all come to a head, and are impacting grocery stores in the Bay Area and across the nation.

A KPIX 5 camera captured empty shelves at Whole Foods locations in Campbell, Palo Alto and Redwood City. But the supermarket chain is not the only company experiencing low inventory.

Social media users have posted empty shelves at Trader Joe’s, Safeway and Target stores across the country for days.

The issues appear to be sporadic with some commenting on social media that stores in their cities are well-stocked.

Palo Alto resident Carrie Riggins said she noticed empty shelves at her neighborhood Whole Foods several days ago.

An employee, who wanted to remain anonymous, told KPIX 5 that the entire seafood department at the Campbell Whole Foods has been out sick with COVID-19 for weeks, shipments have been sparse and consumer demand is driving up prices.

On Wednesday afternoon, members of the Raging Grannies Action League and Vigil for Democracy gathered outside the Whole Foods in Palo Alto as a show of support for workers.

Whole Foods had not yet responded to KPIX 5’s request for comment.

Student leaders in the Oakland Unified School Dist

Student leaders in the Oakland Unified School District said they’re planning a sickout for Thursday, because they say district leaders aren’t doing enough to protect them from COVID-19 in the classroom amid the omicron surge.

Blue Lopez, a sophomore at Fremont High School and one of the student leaders planning the sickout, said the idea for students to stage a sickout came after OUSD teachers organized a sickout last week. Both students and teachers are asking the district for more regular COVID testing as well as N95/KN95 masks for everyone.

There is also a petition with more 1,200 student signatures urging a return to virtual learning until testing and masks are more readily available or students say starting next Tuesday, they’re going on strike.

Oakland Unified School District released a statement in response to KPIX 5: (swipe to read in full).
“The District is aware of a petition that some OUSD students are circulating. We share the students’ concern about the spike in omicron cases of COVID-19. That concern is why we have distributed KN-95 and N-95 masks to all staff. We have also ordered enough KN-95 masks for all students…..”

Meanwhile, the leadership team at Skyline High School sent out a message to parents Wednesday night which said, “We have been notified that approximately 80% of students and staff will not report to work tomorrow (Thursday, January 13) as part of an unsanctioned sick out. Therefore, while our school will still be open tomorrow, it is highly likely that no instruction will be provided and so we are asking you to not send your child to school.”

Some teachers from Skyline High School and a half a dozen other campuses said they will also call in sick on Thursday in solidarity with the students. No word yet on whether that will possibly extend to next week during the student strike that is planned.
