DADE CITY — Two years into a temporary ban on medical marijuana dispensaries, Dade City officials still are wrangling with whether or not to prohibit them permanently.
During a meeting Tuesday, the Dade City Commission voted on first reading to extend for another six months its moratorium banning medical marijuana dispensaries first established in 2016.
The commission plans to hold one more workshop to discuss whether to allow them, and if so, how to regulate them.
It will come on the heels of a June workshop, after which City Manager Billy Poe told the Tampa Bay Times the commission had reached a consensus to permanently ban dispensaries.
