Pot dispensary ban on Salinas council agenda

Pot dispensary ban on Salinas council agenda


An ordinance that would permanently prohibit sale and distribution of medical marijuana in Salinas is on the agenda for Tuesday night’s City Council meeting.

The ordinance comes after the council passed a moratorium this spring to temporarily ban dispensaries that provide medical marijuana to patients.

While the proposed ordinance would ban dispensaries, the police department has a policy allowing possession of pot if it falls within state laws and guidelines. State law allows people with a doctor’s recommendation or a state-issued medical marijuana identification card to keep certain amounts of pot.

The City Council meets at 6 p.m. at the Salinas City Hall Rotunda, 200 Lincoln St., Salinas.
