San Diego Supervisors Approve Language for Marijuana Ballot Measure
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved ballot language last week for a November measure that would tax retail marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas. The vote came two months after supervisors opted to place a 75-word measure on the ballot.
The measure will be characterized as “a bipartisan solution to advance a safe, regulated, and legal adult cannabis market in San Diego County.” The vote for that description was 4-1 with Supervisor Jim Desmond opposed.
The measure would only affect marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas. Currently, there are five marijuana operations in unincorporated San Diego. They are:
- Outliers Collective, 8157 Wing Ave., El Cajon
- Ramona Cannabis Co., 736 Montecito Way, Ramona
- Releaf Meds, 618 Pine St., Ramona
- Olive Tree Wellness Center/JAXX Cannabis, 1210 Olive St., Ramona
- San Diego Natural/OutCo, 8530 Nelson Way, Escondido
These businesses originated as medical cannabis facilities, but were permitted to begin selling recreational weed in 2021.
