The Tribune, 10 Oct 2012 – About 10 people urged the Arroyo Grande City Council on Tuesday evening to allow mobile medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in the city, saying the cannabis eases ill people’s pain and gives them a safer alternative to prescription medications. The council, though, voted unanimously to prohibit such dispensaries from operating within the city.

The Tribune, 28 Sep 2012 – In response to a report issued by the county’s civil grand jury earlier this year, the Arroyo Grande City Council has taken the first step toward prohibiting mobile medical marijuana dispensaries from operating within the city. The city has had rules in place since 2008 prohibiting the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries. But its ordinance did not explicitly refer to mobile dispensaries, such as a delivery service.
