Glendale completely prohibits cannabis dispensaries, cultivation, processing, and distribution within city limits per GMC 9.10.020. City Council voted in 2017 to continue the ban. State-licensed delivery may enter the city.
Glendale has enacted a complete ban on commercial cannabis businesses within city limits, including retail dispensaries, cultivation facilities, manufacturing operations, and distribution centers. The city council voted to prohibit all commercial cannabis activity despite the passage of Proposition 64. State-licensed delivery services from other jurisdictions may deliver to Glendale addresses under state law, which preempts local delivery bans. The ban reflects community preference and city council policy. No cannabis business tax ordinance exists given the prohibition.
Operating any commercial cannabis business: immediate closure. Fines up to $1,000/day. Criminal prosecution for unlicensed operations.
