Medical Marijuana Dispensary Information

Coalition for a Drug Free California supports the California Police Chiefs Association, in conjunction with the California State Sheriff’s, Narcotics Officers and District Attorneys’ Associations and the California Highway Patrol, which has formed a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Task Force. The Task Force was formed to address state versus federal law enforcement issues as well as the crime and qualify of life issues, including the burgeoning indoor grow business, that accompany them. The Task Force is in the process of gathering data on dispensaries to use to assist in the development of a white paper and wanted to share the results of the research with any other agencies facing problems/issues surrounding dispensaries. The documents contain a wide variety of information, including Marty Mayer’s sample ordinance prohibiting dispensaries and an excellent white paper by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office. Agencies are encouraged to download any documents they may find of interest or value.
