Findings 4 findings
F1
The Compassionate Use Act of 1996 was overwhelmingly supported by 73% of Marin voters, and more than 6000 residents have applied for Medical Marijuana ID cards. County oversight is needed to protect the rights and safety of those residents who have legal authorization to purchase medical marijuana.
F2
Medical marijuana edible products are not regulated by the County’s Department of Health and Human Services; therefore, there is no guarantee that the products are safe.
F3
Medical marijuana mobile delivery services without a fixed Marin County business address should be subject to a flat rate license tax.
F4
Since 2011, all but one medical marijuana dispensary in the county have been closed. One dispensary, already serving 800 patients, cannot adequately meet the needs of a county this size.
Recommendations 3
-
R1The Board of Supervisors respect the will of the voters and the intentions of the Compassionate Use Act by using its authority to uphold access to medical marijuana within the county. Compassion without action is not enough.
-
R2The County Department of Health and Human Services establish standards for edible medical marijuana sold in Marin County.
-
R3The Board of Supervisors, in concert with law enforcement, the Planning Commission, and representatives from the Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board, develop a viable set of ordinances for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in the unincorporated areas of the County.
