San Luis Obispo to allow retail pot shops to deliver cannabis

September 3, 2024

By KAREN VELIE

The San Luis Obispo City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to allow retail pot shops to also deliver cannabis.

Under former City Manager Derek Johnson, the San Luis Obispo City Council voted to direct staff to update the cannabis program to allow retail storefronts to also deliver marijuana. The shops would need to procure an additional conditional use permit.

Currently, the city has two retail pot shops: Megan’s Organic Market and SLOCAL Roots. A permit for a third retail cannabis store is winding through the process.

On Tuesday, the City Council approved a draft ordinance to allow pot shops to also apply for delivery permits. The proposed ordinance will require a second reading at a future City Council meeting.

Seeing pot has been legal for medicinal purposes for over 28 years I’d say they are a bit behind. Not to mention everyone who has to drive to slo from North County to buy their stuff. Don’t forget the over-taxation on every receipt for pot. No wonder people still sell the stuff illegally.

Pure Heidi Harmon/Adam Hill/Tom Fulks/Tom Jones corruption.

How is allowing a legitimate business the ability to offer delivery services corruption? Delivery is already offered in many places, including Lompoc where the pot stores there offer delivery throughout the area, including into Buellton, Santa Ynez and Santa Maria. It’s called free enterprise and I applaud government for encouraging it.

I guess this is good, so instead of 20 DUI drivers driving to the pot store there will be only 1 DUI driver making deliveries……..

If your assumption is accurate then I should assume anybody who drives to a store to get alcohol, beer, wine, etc is also driving under the influence. Or I suppose I should believe everybody who goes wine tasting to the wineries in rural areas on hilly, curvy roads that their not familiar with as tourists are sober and it is safer than someone purchasing marijuana by delivery or driving to the store to purchase it.

Given this counties corruption history I hope there’s a way to ensure this doesn’t or hasn’t become another hellos dayspring situation.

Still is, the only thing that changed was the name on the paperwork.

It wouldn’t be surprising. The city sued megans over their grow operation back in 2016 or 17. Then megans shutdown their delivery service for a year or two. Then the city awarded megans the first cannabis store front in the city. It all always seemed a bit odd. I believe this was before anybody was aware of adam hill or helios dayspring corruption and influence.
