Palm Springs City Council To Consider Dispensary Ordinance
| By Americans for Safe Access | Published February 16, 2009 |
The Palm Springs City Council will soon vote on a whether to allow a medical cannabis dispensing collective ordinance.
If passed, this ordinance will make Palm Springs the first city in Riverside County to allow for the operation of dispensaries. Although seven dispensaries are now operating in Palm Spring, the ordinance will allow for the operation of only two collectives in Industrial/Warehouse zones. That means at least five of them will close. Although the city will seek civil injunctions to close any collective that is not licensed by the city, it is not expected that any actions will be taken until after the two collectives chosen are open and operating.
Please come down to show your support for the ordinance. The ordinance also only allows collectives with four members or less to be exempt from the ordinance, reduced from six. There will be an effort to increase this to the original number, and so please come by to show your support. For the Inland Empire, this is an historic event - so come and down and show your support and be able to tell your grandkids you were there!
