San Francisco is slated to approve the establishment of an Office of Cannabis on Tuesday, less than six months before the office will start approving permits for business owners to sell marijuana to adults for recreational use.
Included in Mayor Ed Lee’s budget proposal, the $700,000 office would operate under the direction of City Administrator Naomi Kelly, who would hire its director.

Supervisor Jeff Sheehy is the lead sponsor of the legislation to create the office. The Board of Supervisors Rules Committee recommended its approval last week after making some amendments, including requiring that the office’s director recommend approval of fees for permit application and annual licenses by November 1.
