MIAMI BEACH MOVES TO BAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES

Today the Miami Beach City Commission will vote on legislation proposed by Commissioner Joy Malakoff (Above) that would replace the City’s already restrictive dispensary ordinance with an outright ban on medical marijuana retail in Miami Beach. 

Ben Pollara, founder and Executive Director of Florida for Care issued the following statement regarding the Miami Beach proposal:

“It is outrageous that 80% of Miami Beach voters supported medical marijuana in 2016, yet the City Commission is contemplating a proposal by an unelected Commissioner to deny the voters’ will - and stifle patient access.” Pollara continued, “Not only is this ban wrong for Miami Beach, but it is also wrong for Miami-Dade County. There are only a handful of dispensaries in Dade and this would further limit access. The City needs 
to reverse course immediately.”
