That’s because voters in six cities — La Mesa, Encinitas, Lemon Grove, Imperial Beach, Solana Beach and Del Mar — have rejected dispensary ballot measures since 2012. And the elected leaders in several other cities, including Chula Vista and Oceanside, have voted to ban dispensaries. [Read more at U-T San Diego]
