Medical marijuana dispensary opens in Cathedral City |
A new medical marijuana dispensary called Essential Herbs and Oils has been open about a month in Cathedral City.
| The business is located at 68-487 S. Palm Canyon Drive in a commercial complex that includes a dentist office and insurance firm.
A woman answering the phone at the dispensary Monday would not
|  | | give her name but said the dispensary does have a business license from the city and has been open for about a month. |
Cathedral City officials were not immediately available for comment.
The city does not have any law either permitting or banning dispensaries.
Cathedral City and Rancho Mirage remain the only two cities in the Coachella Valley that have not passed a moratorium or ban on dispensaries in the past two years.
The new business joins the two dispensaries in Palm Springs — Compassionate Caregivers and the Collective Apothecary of Palm Springs, both on N. Palm Canyon Drive.
Both are operating in violation of the city’s moratorium on dispensaries, originally passed in March 2006.
City officials have been working on a law that would allow patients’ collectives in the city, but not dispensaries, said City Attorney Doug Holland.
A draft of the law could be ready for review this month, Holland said.
