Lompoc will consider how much cannabis is too much for the city boasting more than 10 retail shops as well as applications for more. When agreeing to allow cannabis businesses to operate in Lompoc several years ago, the City Council chose not to limit the number of permits issued and let the free market reign. Four years after issuing the first permit, the city shows significant numbers for commercial cannabis use business applications — 26 applicants for retail dispensaries, 14 for distribution, 10 for manufacturing, five for cultivation, seven for processing, two for laboratories and two for microbusinsses.
