The Pismo Beach City Council did a 180 on mobile pot dispensaries this week after hearing from constituents who rely on medical marijuana for themselves and their loved ones.
At an earlier meeting, the council had taken a preliminary vote to ban mobile dispensaries, without offering much explanation for that decision and without considering how it might affect residents.
The council spent more time vetting the ban on Tuesday. Councilwoman Sheila Blake noted that she had spoken to the police chief, who said he was unaware of problems involving pot dispensaries operating in Pismo Beach.
"If it has been getting delivered without any particular problem, I wonder why we should feel we need to legislate this now?" she asked.
Exactly.
Ultimately, the council decided against intervening at this time, and the ban was tabled.
For its willingness to change course - something too many politicians are loath to do - we toss the council a bouquet of sage.
