The City of Boynton Beach, Florida wanted to be ready for the implementation of Amendment 2 (medical marijuana) so they set up their own limits on dispensaries that included the following:
-
One dispensary per 67,000 residents;
-
Location was limited to one part of town the community commercial district;
-
No drive-through;
-
Limited hours.
Boynton has now learned that the new state law overrides their attempt at local control. While cities can impose a short moratorium and control minor details regarding dispensaries they cannot impose the location restrictions presently on their books.
