SUPERVISORS ENACT POT SHOP MORATORIUM

Supervisors have enacted a moratorium that prevents new medical marijuana dispensaries from opening and current shops from moving while staff reviews recent legal rulings.

After taking public testimony on Tuesday, Zack Scrivner noted the court cases and the approval of a November ballot measure to legalize marijuana have turned the issue into a moving target. Staff will also meet with stakeholders on ways to regulate medical marijuana.
