The City of Orange prohibits all cannabis dispensaries and commercial cannabis businesses under OMC Chapter 5.89. No person may own, manage, operate, or work in a cannabis dispensary anywhere in the city. Cannabis delivery services originating in the city are also banned.
Under OMC Chapter 5.89, as amended by Ordinance 10-15, no person shall own, manage, operate, or work in any cannabis dispensary in the City of Orange, whether as employee, volunteer, or independent contractor. No cannabis delivery service may originate within city limits. The prohibition covers all commercial cannabis activities including retail sales, distribution, manufacturing, processing, and testing. Any violation constitutes a public nuisance subject to abatement under OMC Chapter 1.08. The city maintains this comprehensive ban despite California's legalization of recreational cannabis under Proposition 64, as local jurisdictions retain authority to prohibit commercial cannabis activities.
Operating a cannabis dispensary or delivery service is a public nuisance subject to abatement under OMC Chapter 1.08 and state law. Criminal penalties may also apply.
