It's official: Residents in unincorporated areas of San Luis Obispo County won't find marijuana stores in their communities, won't be able to grow plants for personal use outside, and likely won't see many licensed cannabis farms.
Those are just some of the expected effects of the 52 pages of rules the Board of Supervisors adopted on Monday under a commercial cannabis ordinance for communities outside city limits. The rules also apply to existing medical marijuana farms that have been operating in the county for as much as two decades, many of which will soon be out of compliance.
The conservative board majority — Supervisors Debbie Arnold, Lynn Compton and John Peschong — voted to adopt the ordinance, which they called a "go slow" approach to commercial cannabis, meant to minimize conflict between neighbors. They said it's a kind of a trial run and will be revisited next year.
Left-leaning Supervisors Adam Hill and Bruce Gibson voted against the ordinance, calling it overly burdensome bad policy that will drive business into the black market.
