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.
