Commercial cannabis sales approved in Arcata come the new year

ARCATA, CA. – Arcata City Council clarifies their cannabis policies, and will allow recreational sales come the new year.

At their meeting Wednesday, staff adopted two ordinances to update local cannabis regulations, which will allow the city’s current cannabis regulatory program to include nonmedical activities, as authorized by the state. This means that Arcata residents are able to look at marijuana sites and purchase their desired marijuana products, like you can buy here for example.

Current medical dispensaries will be able to sell non-medical cannabis come January 1st, so long as their permits are in good standing.

Council has left room for rules to be adjusted as citywide zoning standards develop.
