The City Council finds that federal and state laws prohibiting the possession, sale and distribution of marijuana would preclude the opening of medical marijuana dispensaries sanctioned by the City of Anaheim, and in order to serve public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and businesses within the City, the declared purpose of this chapter is to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries as stated in this chapter.
