Dispensary Numbers Dip in San Fran
January 28th, 2009 by Perry

Regulation efforts, which include a new series of hoops a potential dispensary owner would have to jump through, resulted in a slow start for cannabis clubs in San Francisco, CA.
So far this year, 10 clubs have been authorized, while 13 more permits are currently undergoing the application process. Right now the city has 23, but at one time had as many as 40, before regulatory measures were put in place by Senate Bill 420.
Residents have been patient with local officials because the authorities have been supportive of the medical marijuana community, and remain true to their word regarding regulatory/approval policies.
