SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO EXTENDS MEDICAL POT DISPENSARY BAN

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO - A moratorium on the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries is being extended so city leaders have more time to study and possibly draw up stricter rules for such operations.

"I support medical marijuana," City Councilmember Karyl Matsumoto said, "but we don't want to become a mecca for marijuana collectives.  If our neighbors ban these collectives, everyone will be coming to South San Francisco."

On Wednesday night, Matsumoto and her council colleagues approved extending the temporary ban another 10 months after they agreed in late October on the original 45-day moratorium on issuing permits to dispensaries.
