Napa County intends to make sure outdoor cannabis cultivation and dispensaries remain out of their area. Citizens came out to speak against the strict rules limiting them to grow their own medicine. Napa sites violent crime and other criminal issues to justify the cultivation ban. More from Napa Valley Register:
Napa County, as with jurisdictions throughout California, is passing its medical marijuana law in reaction to new state regulations. If jurisdictions fail to pass local medical marijuana cultivation laws by March 1, they will cede permitting authority to the state Department of Food and Agriculture.
Supervisor Keith Caldwell mentioned the problems of violent crimes that can be associated with outdoor marijuana cultivation.
“I think, unfortunately, we’re not to that point yet where can do the outdoor grow,” Caldwell said.
Supervisor Brad Wagenknecht agreed that the reason for banning outdoor growing of medical marijuana is security. He too wants to address this issue again at some future date.
