City Council discusses outdoor marijuana, home delivery

MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford city councilors clarified an ordinance which bans outdoor marijuana grows.

The city code wasn’t clear on whether or not a greenhouse or other similar structures were considered outdoor or indoor.

Thursday night, councilors voted to only allow growing in a residence, or an attached garage. Marijuana can also be grown in a detached garage as long as it was built before the ordinance was put in place.

That means greenhouse grows are a no-go for pot grows.

Councilor Tim D’Alessandro said, “I think the voters in ’16 when they said ‘indoors’, I think they meant somewhat to the point of having some security involved in this.”

Councilors also discussed allowing marijuana deliveries in Medford. They looked at three options and approved home delivery for both medical and recreational consumers. It will have a second reading before its official.
