A VOTE HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 9TH, ON A PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT WOULD RESTRICT MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES SANTA CRUZ COUNTY. COUNTY STAFFERS HAVE BEEN ASKED (BY THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION) TO STUDY INCREASING THE DISTANCE DISPENSARIES MUST REMAIN AWAY FROM SCHOOLS (AND OTHER DISPENSARIES), AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING A MANDATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE DISPENSARIES TO TEST THE ‘SAFETY OF THEIR PRODUCT’.
THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PLACED A MORATORIUM ON NEW DISPENSARIES BACK IN SEPTEMBER, PENDING THE CREATION OF A PERMANENT ORDINANCE TO REGULATE SUCH SHOPS.
