The purpose and intent of this Article is to regulate the location, establishment, and operation, of all medical marijuana facilities within the City of Salisbury, Missouri, to ensure the safety, health, and general welfare of its citizens.

Nothing in this article shall be interpreted so as to conflict with State or Federal law, nor shall this article be construed to effect in any way the use, certification, or prescription of medical marijuana within the City of Salisbury.
