A San Francisco mayoral candidate wants to block any new pot shops from coming to the city, but critics say the plan would be harmful to the industry.
“It legislates limited access to opportunity, when what the equity program is supposed to do is open up access for marginal folks,” Parks said.
“City government should focus on processing existing equity applications. This pause will give our City agencies that chance,” Safai said in a press release last month. The city’s Cannabis Oversight Committee first reviewed the citywide ban in April of 2020 and recommended that the city institute a moratorium on new applications for two years, but opposed instituting a ban. Parks, a member of the committee, said that the current proposal of an indefinite ban should be changed to a temporary moratorium.
