Cannabis dispensaries may soon sprout up in Barstow, but more work lies ahead for City Council
Victorville Daily Press
Commercial cannabis is no longer banned in Barstow, but more work is needed before so-called “pot shops” can legally operate within city limits.
The Barstow City Council on Monday approved a motion to end its prohibition on businesses selling marijuana within city limits. The 17-page ordinance which passed 4-1 with a dissenting vote from Councilwoman Barbara Rose lays out a blueprint for how businesses will seek permits, how city officials will regulate approved sites, what methods of growing are and aren t permitted and more.
