Concerned over the potential for drug dealers on the streets and pot being smoked in public, the Rocklin Planning Commission has recommended making permanent a temporary ban on medical marijuana dispensaries.Commission members voted Tuesday to recommend that the City Council prohibit commercial medical marijuana shops from all land-use zones in Rocklin.
"I do not see the need for this type of land use in Rocklin," commission member Jeff Shirhall said.The City Council will consider prohibiting medical marijuana dispensaries permanently at its meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.During an emergency meeting last month, the City Council passed a 45-day urgency ordinance preventing cannabis clubs from opening medical marijuana shops in Rocklin.Police Chief Mark Siemens told commission members Tuesday that cities with marijuana shops have experienced a variety of impacts, despite stringent regulations."I checked with Roseville today, and there are street-level dealers trying to sell to people going to the dispensary there," Siemens said.Snipped: Complete Article: http://www.freedomtoexhale.com/ban.htmSource: Sacramento Bee (CA)Author:  Jennifer K.
