SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose lawmakers are taking a stab at downsizing and regulating the city's medical marijuana industry.
The City Council on Tuesday was reviewing a set of regulations that would sharply limit how and where pot collectives can operate and cap their number at 10. San Jose currently has about 100 cannabis dispensaries and delivery services.
The new rules would require licensed collectives to grow all the medical marijuana they distribute on-site.
Dispensary operators opposed that provision, saying it would require them to plant huge gardens that would make them targets for federal drug raids.
The regulations also would require pot clubs to close by 8 p.m. and prohibit them from doing business in street-level storefronts in areas that get a lot of foot traffic.
Clubs would compete for the 10 operating licenses through a first-come, first-served registration process.
