Zoning does not enable illegal marijuana sales from homes without the necessary state license and permits.
- People can only legally grow and sell marijuana from their homes if they obtain the required state license.
- The proposed zoning changes would not impact the licensing requirements for selling home-grown marijuana.
- Selling home-grown marijuana without a proper license would remain illegal under the proposed zoning and be subject to enforcement.
- Council members emphasize the importance of effective enforcement mechanisms to address community concerns about potential unlicensed home marijuana sales.

wanted to ask one quick question.
3:20:34
The office of state cannabis said people can grow marijuana in their homes.
3:20:40
So what's to prevent them from selling it and through the zoning piece.

If they obtain a license from the state, that would be allowed under zooming today absent any changes before you.

But we but I'm just saying, going back to the enforcement piece, Some people may they're gonna be a lap.
3:21:01
People just ordinary people without any kind of rule going by and they don't have to get a license or anything else to grow it in their homes, and they can grow enough that they can sell it.
3:21:13
So they may well do that.
3:21:15
So I'm just asking about the enforcement mechanisms around that.
3:21:18
You don't think I'm just bringing it up.
3:21:21
So Got it.
3:21:22
That was something that came up when not through this, but when that happens.

Zoning enables legal uses in the places where it's allowed.
3:21:31
If they don't have the the necessary permit, it

is even going on.
Lynn C. Schulman
3:21:35
As one of my colleagues said, people hear what they wanna hear.
3:21:38
So that's why enforcement on the city side is really key here.
3:21:43
And I think if we answer that to the expectations of the community, I think that goes a long way in terms of moving forward.

Understood.
