San Diego County moves toward lifting cannabis ban

On Jan. 27, the board directed staff to develop zoning ordinances that allow for cannabis retail, cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and testing, lifting the existing ban against medical marijuana collectives and allowing for onsite consumption of cannabis products. The social equity piece of the proposed ordinance prioritizes communities that historically have been disproportionately affected by the war on drugs.

Currently, there no pathway for adult-use cannabis access in the unincorporated area and without any process for obtaining a permit, illegal and unlicensed dispensaries have proliferated. According to the staff report, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has been engaged in a continuing cycle of shutting down various illegal storefronts, only for the same business to re-open the following week.
