Seal Beach, CA Bans MMJ
November 12th, 2008 by Perry
Joining a number of other Orange County cities, Seal Beach has banned the medical marijuana dispensaries from its city limits.
Eight other cities in Orange County also have moratoriums or bans on pot stores. Another city, Laguna Woods, recently passed a law permitting the dispensaries. While permission to possess MMJ is still recognized in Seal Beach due to state law, the city ordnance means medical marijuana patients will have to drive farther than necessary to get their prescriptions filled.
The recent wave of bans is a result of vague verbiage in Prop. 215, which legalized medical marijuana, but did not address how it would be dispensed or regulated.
