COUNTY OFFICIALS LOOKING TO CREATE GUIDELINES FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA
Following in the footsteps of Arcata, other jurisdictions in the
county are hoping to create guidelines to regulate medical marijuana
distribution through land use codes.
With the increasing attention to medical and recreational marijuana
in the state and marijuana production locally, officials with the
Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and the Eureka City Council has
been meeting with Arcata staff and the Humboldt County District
Attorney's office to try and come up with similar guidelines.
Supervisor Mark Lovelace said the legalization of marijuana has been
taking center stage recently and drawing away from the issue of
regulation. He said jurisdictions don't have authority to say whether
access to medical marijuana is being abused, but they can have a
discussion about land use and building and zoning.
