Though details remain few and far between at this point, eye witness reports say local authorities have raided two medical marijuana dispensaries this morning in the Santa Barbara area. Santa Barbara County Sheriffs are currently serving warrants at the Choice Cooperative on Lindmar Drive in Goleta while earlier this morning authorities served similar warrants at the Helping Hands dispensary on the 4000 block of State Street. No other details are available at this time.
Even though this town voted a few years ago to make cannabis the "lowest law enforcement priority", the City Council has put two measures on the ballot:
1) Ban medicinal cannabis dispensaries
2) Highly regulate them
If 1 passes, they are banned, period. If 1 doesn't pass and 2 doesn't pass, then they will be highly regulated. If NEITHER pass, then there will be no local regulations on dispensaries as the current regulations will expire.
Prop 19 is a state level measure that will also be voted on to legalize recreational use of cannabis.
