LAKE COUNTY REPEALS POT ORDINANCE

Lake County supervisors on Tuesday overturned their new marijuana 
cultivation ordinance, handing another victory to the marijuana 
activists who collected sufficient signatures to place the issue before voters.

Marijuana activists last year also used the initiative process to 
convince supervisors to overturn an ordinance limiting the number of 
marijuana dispensaries in the county.

The cultivation ordinance limited where and how marijuana could be 
grown. It included banning outdoor growing on parcels that are less 
than an acre in size, said Lake County Supervisor Jeff Smith.

He said the board will be considering adopting the petitioners' 
recommended ordinance at a future board meeting.
