SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Wanted: Gardener. Must be good with indoor plants.
Only experienced pot growers need apply.

A clean record also is a must for the Santa Clara County Medical Cannabis
Club, which is trying to meet a city mandate requiring the club to grow its
own marijuana on site by Friday.

The club has 140 patients with prescriptions for the otherwise illegal drug.
Its marijuana now comes from the San Francisco Cultivator's Club.

Director Peter Baez said that if his club can't start its own garden in time,
he may personally drive patients to San Francisco to buy the drug. He'd
prefer to find the right gardener.

``Whether they grew it illegally or not, that is not my problem,'' Baez said.
``I just want someone who has a background check that clears. ... I'll weed
out, literally, the (bad) ones, when I choose.''
