San Diego County voters countywide will vote in November on a tax on marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas
San Diego County voters will decide in November whether to authorize a tax on marijuana businesses operating in unincorporated parts of the county, after the Board of Supervisors approved ballot language for the countywide measure.
The argument in favor of the ballot measure calls it “a bipartisan solution to advance a safe, regulated, and legal adult cannabis market in San Diego County.”Officials will soon start negotiating with up to four potential businesses Others who oppose expanding marijuana business permits said the proposed tax measure wouldn’t benefit the rural communities where the new businesses would be located, and doesn’t account for the health and safety costs of increased marijuana use.
Several proponents of marijuana business expansion argued that the tax would contribute to the county’s general fund to the benefit of backcountry communities but that it wouldn’t advance the board’s goal of repairing damage from the war on drugs.
