The city of San Diego is analyzing its laws and its tax rate while developing a cannabis 'equity' program.

San Diego is launching a comprehensive analysis of its laws governing cannabis businesses to see how they could be loosened to allow more minorities and low-income residents to become part of the lucrative industry.

Opponents of cannabis legalization said loosening the rules would be catering to drug dealers, contending that San Diego residents aren’t asking for such changes and don’t want them. Only 23 of a maximum 36 dispensaries have been approved, more than seven years after the city legalized them, and only 21 of the 23 have opened. Meanwhile, 12 of 40 approved cannabis manufacturing businesses have opened.

“No one but drug dealers are clamoring for this expansion,” said Scott Chipman, leader of San Diegans for Safe Neighborhoods, an anti-legalization group.Advertisement
