PUNTA GORDA, Fla.-- People living in Punta Gorda will soon have medical marijuana available in the city.
On Wednesday, city council unanimously approved medical marijuana dispensaries. There are some restriction; dispensaries can't be within 500 feet of a public or private school unless there's a public vote on it.
Back in March, city council voted to lift a medical marijuana ban that had been in place since August 2017. The ban was originally supposed to last a year.
