Changes to regulation of retail cannabis sales in the city of Napa must be made thoughtfully or risk threatening the viability of the cityâs existing dispensaries, those businesses say.
In February, Napa City Council voted unanimously to include Napaâs cannabis-selling ordinance on a list of six policy objectives to prioritize for 2021, according to Councilmember Beth Painter. The vote signals a relatively recent willingness on behalf of city officials to consider allowing recreational cannabis sales to adults over the age of 21, industry members say. Napaâs current ordinance permits only medicinal sales, for which customers need a physician-approved medical use card.
