The County of San Bernardino prohibits all commercial cannabis activity – including cultivation, production, storage, processing, manufacturing, dispensing, delivery, distribution, testing, transportation, provision and sale – for medical or other purposes in the unincorporated areas of the county. The prohibition applies regardless of profit, gain or benefit. There is a limited exception that allows a primary caregiver who is the owner or operator of a state-licensed health facility to conduct commercial cannabis activity. Prior to conducting any activity, the state-licensed health facility must register with the County Land Use Services Department.
The County’s prohibition of commercial cannabis activity does not apply within the jurisdictions of the 24 incorporated cities and towns in the county. You must check with those individual cities and towns to determine whether they permit or prohibit commercial cannabis activities.
