San Diego County will begin issuing identification cards of medical marijuana users next month — more than a decade after California voters approved Proposition 215, it was reported Wednesday.

The county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday gave the nod to issuing the cards on July 6 for a $166 processing fee, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

The board also directed its attorneys to draft a law banning medical marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated areas, according to the newspaper. Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten reportedly said the county will likely process an average 100 or so applications a month.

San Diego County was one of several counties in the state to sue over California’s medical marijuana law, which was approved by voters under Proposition 215 in 1996.

County officials said federal law banning marijuana trumps the state law that allows sick or dying people to use it to ease painful symptoms. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the county’s case last month.
