After welcoming cannabis without limits and attracting dozens of businesses, the Lompoc City Council has taken a tentative step toward what one industry representative suggested should be 'a strategic pause' for new permits. On Tuesday night, council members discussed the cannabis industry and a possible temporary moratorium, with all five members asking for the item to return Sept. 20, when they may appoint an ad hoc commitee and take other action. Five years ago, the city originally agreed to welcome all types of cannabis businesses without capping the numbers, leading to more than five dozen applications.
