Sand City, Calif.- A local Monterey Resident, who is a medical marijuana user himself, said Monterey County needs a medical marijuana dispensary. He thinks Sand City is a perfect central location. But the Mayor does not agree.
Daniel Maniscalgo wants to open the dispensary in Sand City at a property in Orange Avenue, next to local businesses." There is a medical need, patients need it, we need to bring it closer to patients," said Maniscalgo.
The Mayor has a different point of view on medical marijuana. " I believe could be dangerous to the community, so for whatever reason they use it , its an endangerment," said Mayor Daniel Pendergrass.
The Mayor ordered his staff to prepare an ordinance to ban the use of medical marijuana dispensaries in Sand City for 45 days. " If they pass it has to be four votes it then goes to 45 days ,and two years and then permanent," said Mayor Pedergress. " I feel they are jumping into conclusions and not really taking all the facts in considering and how it will affect their community," said Maniscalgo.
City council members and the Mayor have been researching on what a city can and cant do to regulate dispensaries and will present their finding in the city council meeting.
Meanwhile Daniel is encouraging medical marijuana users to attend the meeting tomorrow," This is something I have devoted my life to for the last three months, I have no plans in changing it," said Maniscalgo.
City council members will take comments. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.
