The county is going to court to shut down a medical marijuana collective in Cutler.
According to the complaint filed on Monday with Tulare County Superior Court, Tulare County alleges that the medical marijuana collective violates county zoning ordinance, which states that marijuana collectives and cooperatives must be located on land zoned for commercial or manufacturing use within the unincorporated county. The collective is located in an agricultural zone.
The complaint also states the collective violates county ordinance by not being
grown "within a secure, locked, and fully enclosed structure."
Supervisor Allen Ishida said medical marijuana operations are a threat to the public safety of residents.
"Tulare County will not tolerate illegal medical marijuana operations in our unincorporated areas," Chairman Ishida said. "We will continue to take the appropriate actions to combat illegal medical marijuana operations."
This is not the first time Tulare County has sought a court order against a medical marijuana collective. In August 2011, Tulare County won a civil injunction against Foothill Growers Association Inc., an Ivanhoe-based cooperative of about 100 people with doctors' recommendations to smoke or ingest marijuana to treat symptoms of health conditions.
The Superior Court found that the Foothill Growers Association violated an ordinance adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2009, which states that marijuana collectives and cooperatives must be located on land zoned for commercial or manufacturing use within the unincorporated county.
