There will be needs to be met in the growing, processing and distribution of cannabis. The distribution will be accomplished through dispensaries. Well-regulated dispensaries are necessary to distribute the cannabis to the thousands of users in Butte County. Without a good local dispensary, people would be forced to obtain their cannabis on the illegal market. The whole point of legalization is to eliminate the problems caused by prohibition and minimize the illegal market. We need local dispensaries if we expect to secure these goals. On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Chico City Council will decide whether to agendize discussion about the need for local dispensaries. Public input will be taken. Please come if you want a functional dispensary ordinance for Chico. Bring your information and ideas about why Chico needs local cannabis dispensaries. Benson Chico - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
