San Bernardino came to legal retail the long way. Voters approved a cannabis measure in 2016, a court struck it down in 2018, and the City Council then wrote its own cannabis ordinance, according to the San Bernardino County Sentinel. Today most of the city's stores sit in one compact district south of downtown, near the freeways and the city's hotel and shopping area.
