OAKLAND (KTVU) -- The Oakland City Council has preliminarily approved new legislation that increases the number of medical marijuana dispensaries and establishes procedures within city limits for the licensing and sale of medical marijuana.
The new measure was unanimously adopted early Wednesday by council members. A final approval is expected during the council's May 17 meeting. City leaders said the legislation will provide new ownership and job opportunities for Oakland residents in the growing medical cannabis industry.
Oakland's new law will increase the number of new medical marijuana dispensary permits to eight per year and expand related businesses.
