Marin County Administrator Matthew Hymel will not approve licensing any of the 10 proposed medical marijuana dispensaries in the county, and instead announced Monday he is recommending county supervisors rethink the entire licensing process.
Also, the board should consider a mobile delivery-only system, he said.
“This decision illustrates the challenge in finding the right combination of operator and location to provide patients with safe access to medical cannabis locally,” Hymel said.

His announcement comes after years of discussion that culminated last May, when the Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance that would allow up to four medical cannabis dispensaries in unincorporated Marin. The board gave Hymel the job of selecting the dispensaries.
