Looking for cannabis? Don’t go to Chinatown.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance Tuesday that bans cannabis dispensaries from opening in Chinatown. That’s sure to please many in the Chinese American community, which has been vehemently opposed to the idea of a dispensary opening in the neighborhood since California legalized recreational cannabis last year.
The ordinance, sponsored by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who represents Chinatown, passed 8-3, with Supervisors Rafael Mandelman, Vallie Brown and Hillary Ronen voting against it.
