Print Although Costa Mesa voters in November overwhelmingly supported legalizing the retail sales and delivery of cannabis inside city limits, determining the details of how to implement Measure Q and its allowances and prohibitions is a complicated matter. Just ask members of the city’s planning commission, who on Monday considered a draft ordinance establishing a framework by which business owners may seek permits to operate marijuana dispensaries in commercially zoned areas or set up delivery services. It expands upon voter-approved Measure X, which allows for the manufacture, processing, distribution, testing and research and development of cannabis within a primarily industrial “green zone.” Cultivation of marijuana is still prohibited by law.
