SUPES TO DECIDE ON MEDICAL MARIJAUNA DISPENSARIES

The future of medical marijuana dispensaries in Nevada County goes up 
for a final vote Tuesday before the Board of Supervisors.

In the 1:30 p.m. afternoon session Tuesday, Supervisors will decide 
whether or not to ban medical marijuana dispensaries from operation 
in Nevada County. Dispensaries are already banned from operation in 
the incorporated county, including Nevada City, Grass Valley, and the 
Town of Truckee, where zoning prohibits dispensaries.

Some medical marijuana access advocates maintain the county is 
effectively pushing people to buy from illegal growers without access 
to a nearby dispensary. In June, the county's Planning Commission 
recommended supervisors ban dispensaries largely based on advice from 
county law enforcers, who oppose dispensaries.

View a copy of Tuesday's agenda attached to this report. Supervisors 
meet beginning at 9 a.m. at the Eric W. Rood Administrative Building 
on 950 Maidu Ave. in Nevada City.
