The Bay Citizen reports that the Oakland City Council last night caved to pressure from the feds and suspended plans to license four large-scale industrial marijuana grows within its city limits. According to the Citizen, city staff is going to rejigger the proposal to smooth out potential conflicts with state law, then bring it back before the council Feb. 1.

For the time being, though, Humboldt County growers continue to get the best of both worlds. Oakland, Eric Holder -- we salute you.
