Town hall meeting on medical marijuana dispensaries

There has been a lot of discussion within the community regarding medical marijuana dispensaries, including their proximity to schools. Learn more about how marijuana dispensaries impact the community, including access by teens to "medical" marijuana. Town hall organizers are asking the community to craft solutions to this issue, such as banning dispensaries and replacing them with legitimate user cooperatives, as has been done in Los Angeles, and is called for by state law.

Date: Thursday, November 12, 7:00 PM
Location: Victoria Hall, 33 W. Victoria Street, Santa Barbara 
Sponsors:  Hosted by Unity Shoppe and co-sponsored by Santa Barbara Fighting Back, Santa Barbara School Districts, and the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.

This meeting precedes the November 17 Santa Barbara City Council meeting where dispensaries will be discussed.
