Reserved. <br /> <br />Section 7. Article XIII of Chapter 18 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Medicinal <br />Marijuana Collectives/Cooperatives) is hereby deleted in its entirety, renamed <br />“Reserved,” and re-adopted and amended as Article II of Chapter 40 of the Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code to read as “Regulation of Commercial Cannabis Medicinal Retail <br />Activities” as follows: <br />ARTICLE II. – REGULATION OF COMMERCIAL CANNABIS MEDICINAL RETAIL <br />ACTIVITIES <br />Sec. 40-100. Purposes and intent. <br />It is the purpose and intent of this article to regulate the collective distribution of medical <br />marijuana at a commercial cannabis retail business in order to ensure the health, safety <br />and welfare of the residents of the City of Santa Ana. The regulations in this article, in <br />compliance with the Compassionate Use Act, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, and <br />the California Health and Safety Code (collectively referred to as "State Law") do not <br />interfere with a patient's right to use medical marijuana as authorized under State Law, <br />nor do they criminalize the possession or cultivation of medical marijuana by specifically <br />defined classifications of persons, as authorized under State Law. Under State Law, only <br />qualified patients, persons with identification cards, and primary caregivers may cultivate <br />medical marijuana collectively. Businesses operating as medical marijuana collectives <br />shall comply with all provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, State Law, the 2008 <br />California Attorney General Guidelines for the Security and Non-Diversion of Marijuana <br />Grown for Medical Use, and all other applicable local laws. Nothing in this article purports <br />to permit activities that are otherwise illegal under state or local law.
