Four days before marijuana becomes legal to sell for recreational use in California, it remains an open question whether consumers will be able to buy it in Sacramento on Jan. 1.
Most of the city’s 30 medical marijuana dispensaries have expressed interest in retail sales and some of them have applied for permits from the state and city. Both state and city permits are needed to sell marijuana.
But none of them had been permitted by the city or state as of Thursday afternoon.
Joe Devlin, the city’s pot czar, said he still expects three dispensaries to receive city permits before Monday. Those dispensaries are A Therapeutic Alternative on H Street, Abatin Wellness Center on 29th Street and Valley Health Options on Auburn Boulevard.
