National City California Green-Lights Cannabis Lounges
National City is the first in San Diego County to approve social use lounges
While many municipalities around San Diego have approved medical marijuana dispensaries and retail sales locations, National City has become the first in the county to approve lounges for the consumption of the drug.
The South Bay city on Tuesday approved the ordinance, which permits retail sales as well. The approval came after six people spoke in opposition during the public comment period of the City Council meeting.
In the end, the council approved Ordinance No. 2021 by a vote of 4-1, over the opposition of Councilman Ron Morrison, who had proposed a motion to proceed with the other elements of the ordinance but rezone the lounges to bring them in line with other businesses.
