SACRAMENTO CANNABIS INDUSTRY SHOULD BE FAIR

If there was any doubt that Sacramento was square in the path of California's "green rush," a recent tally showing the city could end up with more marijuana growing operations than it has Starbucks and McDonald's restaurants should serve as a wake-up call.

More than 100 companies have applied to open grow rooms, The Bee's Ryan Lillis reported last week, and most are for industrial sites in already troubled, low-income neighborhoods in North Sacramento and off Power Inn Road.

Understandably, some residents are upset.  But with more applications arriving every week and a deadline of Jan.  1, when the commercial production and sale of recreational weed become legal statewide, the city is likely to start issuing cultivation permits in the coming weeks.
