the direction of their respective markets, so join us I’ve still got a lot to learn when it comes to surviving and thriving in the adult industry

The citizen-sponsored initiative prohibits growing
cannabis in residential zones, authorizes and
regulates medical marijuana dispensaries, and
limits commercial cultivation sites to industrial
and manufacturing zones with a permit issued
by the city. Opponents said the measure doesn’t
do enough to protect the community, while the
supporters said Measure U will provide oversight
and transparency.
