Merced bans sale and cultivation of Medical Marijuana
Posted by Sagar Satapathy on January 05, 2016.

The City Council said the decision to bring an ordinance was not aimed at blocking the legalization or putting people out of business. Rather, the move should be seen as at attempt to put things under the control of the City so that no nuisances happen in future. The ordinance does not take effect immediately. It will be put again for approval at the end of the month.
Cultivation and sales of cannabis have never been legal in Merced City. But, a large number of residents have been fighting for long to legalize medical marijuana with a series of arguments. Many people were seen standing in support of a regulation so that they can be able to run a marijuana business or buy medical marijuana in the city. However, the total ban came as a big shock and surprise to them.
Most people, unlike the Councilmen, bat for a strong regulation so that medical marijuana is allowed with riders and select individuals or businesses get the license under the ambit of law. They keep talking about the benefits of medical marijuana and how it helps the patients overcome the trauma and stress. comments powered by Disqus
