La Mesa Prop 64
In 2021, the City of La Mesa was one of 23 successful applicants to receive funding from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) available following the passage of Proposition (Prop 64) that legalized marijuana for recreational use for individuals 21 years of age and older. With this funding, the La Mesa Police Department (LMPD) partnered with Mending Matters to provide drug education and intervention programs to youth. In addition, the LMPD will inspect local businesses to ensure codes and regulations are being followed. SANDAG will serve as the evaluation partner.
