If adopted, a cannabis ordinance could make National City home to the first cannabis lounges in San Diego County, but it’s still relatively early in the process. In September National City City Council directed city staff to draft a regulatory ordinance that would allow for a maximum of three cannabis businesses in National City’s industrial zones, and return with community feedback and an analysis of the potential fiscal impact. In partnership with HdL, a cannabis consulting firm, city staff returned to council on Tuesday with multiple suggestions: allow for six cannabis businesses in National City, allow for cannabis lounges, and implement a uniform 5 percent community benefits tax rate.

California lawmakers on Friday revived a proposal to temporarily cut taxes on marijuana to boost a legal market that one official said is on the brink of collapse, drawing encouragement from Gov. Gavin Newsom as he seeks to overhaul state pot regulators. The bill would cut the state excise tax on marijuana sales from 15% to 11% for three years while eliminating a cultivation tax for that period. Similar legislation has been shelved in the last two years, with Newsom saying he felt it was too soon after legalization to make changes to the law.
