Council to Vote on Pot Ban Recommendation

The Planning Commission recommended banning the marijuana dispensaries for land use issues.

The council not only has to consider the uncertain fate of these dispensaries at the state level, but at the federal level, as U.S. attorneys are warning landlords that they may seize properties of anyone leasing space to cannibis dispensaries, the Sacramento Bee reported.

The most in San Mateo County from Rob Bueno near Redwood City boundaries will not be affected by the council’s decision.
