Supervisor Fletcher attempt to role back pot shop ban during pandemic

On August 5th the San Diego Board of Supervisors will discuss rolling back the pot shop ban in unincorporated San Diego county. Supervisor Fletcher introduced a bill that would do away with the 2017 ban on pot shops in unincorporated. While the county is locked down from the pandemic and people are isolated; increasing use of alcohol and other substances may likely increase, specifically among our youth. This decision to increase access to potent marijuana products during the pandemic is contrary to the public health data that we have compiled. Our 2020 MPI report points to 29 marijuana related hospitalizations a day in the county. Let your voices be heard during the meeting by using the e-comment link below to submit a comment.
