The Riverside County Planning Commission passed a medical marijuana dispensary ordinance July 26, and area medical marijuana advocates are smoking -- and not just cannabis -- about it.

The advocates are meeting with county officials at 3 p.m. today to voice their concerns about the ordinance. Their chief objection is that it confuses dispensaries with collectives and cooperatives--prohibiting collectives from growing marijuana plants.

California state law allows collectives--defined as small groups of patients who operate cooperatively--to grow their own plants.

“We’re trying to make access easier, not harder,” said Ryan Michaels of Palm Springs, a medical marijuana user who planned to be at the meeting.
